I have got thinking about what divorced people called thier ex spouses. Some times it is so up setting to me. The word MY is a ownership word -like he or her belongs to me. I have heard people say MY ex wife or MY ex husband. Why don't we make up a new word instead of claiming your ex person as yours think of something else to say. They are no longer your wife or husband, and they no longer can be claimed as ownership. Maybe just say the ex. or what ever negative name that would really say how it really is. Get out your fustrations and make up another word to describe THE EX.

Thats just me sounding off. and my feelings I have thought about this for years, so thought I would exspress my thoughts .

It is 10:30PM . Just wanted to tell you that We applied for an Activities Director this week and we got the job. We will be training starting tomorrow. We will be responsible for contacting all the leaders of the different activities making sure they are doing their job. Some of the activities are 5-6 different card game bingo, crib. Weekly Craft activities, Games like Poker, uker, bridge, hand and foot, pool, shuffle board, horse shoes, and different exercise classes, line dancing, weekly Pot lucks and soup dinners. There are out side activities like( Pizza dinners bowling, Red Hat ladies) I don't think we are responsible for. They have musical jamming sessions once a week. anyone that has a instrument can join them. We have to set up chairs etc for that. Professional bands all have to be booked up one year in advance some of them coming from Bronson etc. Once a month they come in too entertain the seniors. The manager has done this for next year already. But we will planning for the year after as well. Invitation go out to all the RV Parks in this area, along Benson Road there must be 15 or more RV camps. 250 came last week to the Rec hall to hear the group. We seniors pay $3.00 each. Invitations are sent to all RV Parks in the area. We are responsible for the weekly bulletin, It get sent out to be made up, once I gave them a list of activities that are going on each day. There are crafts sales , Carnivals , dog parades , and decorated gulf cart parade in this park. all the parks in Mission elect their own valentine King and Queen. Which happens to be the retired Pastor and his wife who minister to us at the Rec hall each Sunday. Wenda Persson plays the piano for us.) Then all RV parks put on a parade with all their Kings and Queens on their own floats they say it is a blast. In exchange we get free rent. We will be training from now til end of March to be already for next November. Maybe it will be too much for us. so this is our chance to test the waters, Once we are trained it probably be 3 hours to 4 hours a day or less. We do not have to do any of the activities, just make sure there is a leader in place that has volunteered for the job. If you have any ideas to send us we could do for seniors let us know we need new ideas. Pray we will blend our personality with all the leaders and that we will be tender hearted toward the
stubborn,stay in the mud won`t change or up date their activities or ideas.

That we will know how to deal with the ones who want to lead an activity then does not show up to lead it.
Pray for strength and enthusiasm from us for each activity. We have met a lot of Christians in this camp. and grace is always said at each pot luck etc. There is a craft sale Saturday and I may sew some of my bags to sell. also my Ostrich books.

There is no heavy lifting with this job. Just organization skills.


Good nite

It has been awhile since my last blog.. We have moved further south to Mission hoping it would be warmer and dryer. In Corpus it was very humid and wet every morning like it had rained every night. Corpus situated on the Gulf of Mexico. the ocean was only 15 minutes from us. WE did injoy the beach, and swimming in the gulf early in Nov.
Now here in Mission we recieved a misty cool rain cooler than Corpus, Finally today it is gradually warming up, The sky is clear here. hurray.
The club house is very busy with activities. We are getting involved. I went to the games room tonight to watch the gang play Sequence. It looks very interesting and I have a basic understanding of the game. I also went to quilting . The ladies are making quilts for the Mexico poor people. The quilts are very plain no borders, but will keep some one warm. They are given to Missionaries to give out. There are alot of Christians in This park. We will go to church at the club house at9 AM. after service we will go with Persson's to another church , for their service. then out for dinner. Coming back for a 65th Birthday for John Persson. David will be making supper for us, His favorite dish Mac and cheese he dresses up with onions and peppers soo good.

Peggy will be back with us on Thursday, I sure miss her, She went to Tulsa to be with her Daughter. Belinda has recovered enough to be at home her vision is still not clear.

Thank you all who prayed.

Well it is bed time good nite
