PATIO SITE CONSTRUCTION END IN SITE

The first picture is looking West on Aztec. The second picture is looking East on Entrada toward the Gate Office. (Note the monsoon clouds) The trees are almost all planted and we are working on the irrigation. The construction company will be spreading rock today and tomorrow. The lights are to arrive the middle of next week. We have had great excitement over this construction. As was told before a gas line was hit and punctured so things were shutdown for a week. Of course no construction is without a water leak or two. Yesterday 7/11 Jeff was running a small front loader and got it wedged against the concrete slab. When they were pulling him and the loader out, "tip", over he went sideways. A bobcat is equiped with seatbelt and a roll cage and you have to have all of them on or it won't start. So safety wasn't an issue but that doesn't mean you can't get hurt. Jeff's put up his arm as he was tipping over and as the roll cage and him hit the ground his arm hit the roll cage. Roger took him to TMC for 7 stitches and a tetanus shot.

I've been told that the summers in Tucson are quiet with all the people up North. Maybe one of these summers we will have that here at the Village. If we hit triple digit today it will be the 30th day of over 100 degrees.

Hello to all our Far Horizons friends.

I finally got logged on to the FHTV Summer Blog – It took this long for me to find the address. With all the traveling and hauling stuff back and forth.... I seem to lose everything!! And I never get things straightened up. It is really nice to read and view all the different things going on down there in Tucson and across the country with all our friends. I know there are many special "Get Togethers" yet to happen — so please keep all of us "stay at homes" informed of all the fun times.

Most of us have been home three months now— Where does the time go? Have you caught yourself thinking about Tucson? Oh, I don't mean the 110º temperatures. Naw– I mean thinking..... "WOW, it will soon be time to head back to Far Horizons!!" —That kind of thinking. If you are like me, there is just so much fixing and repairing, mowing and trimming-- AND Rain, Wind, and Hail a person can take! We do seem to squeeze in a couple of trips with Grandchildren but many days are just plain B O R I N G! Bring on the Far Horizons FUN! So everyone keep in touch and be safe and healthy. We have some fun times ahead of us. AND --- Don't blink ----
It will be October!

Dolores & Arlen Notes from Home

Hello,

We made it home Ok after we got home we have been real busy. We stopped at a RV place to get some deodoran for the Motor home and was looking around at their Park Models and saw an older one and then they said so much and I said would you take less and said they thought the boss would. So we made an offer so we moved the Motor Home out and then moved this one in so we been packing moving boxes in and unpacking, cleaning putting away and Believe it I got rid of about 10 boxes of things. Finally getting settle in sure is more room we Love it -- it needs a lot of fixing up but for the price we payed that is Ok and don’t have to do it all at once.

Today we had Dean, Dee over and 2 other couple for the 4 th. Arlen fix 1/2 chicken each on the gril sure was nice and moist. had plenty of food too. Minnie Mouse & Abby played they sure Love to play with each other.

Had heavy rain here yesterday about 2 inches.

We both are poop have all the packing & putting away but almost done and sure was great to have more room.

See you all in Oct some time Lord willing

Dolores, Arlen & Minnie Mouse

SUNDAY MORNING SOCIAL

06/17/07

Sponsors today were Florence and Preston and there were 18 people who came to eat donuts and drink coffee and catch up on what is happening around FHTV.

Entrada Constuction temporarily slowed down due to the backhoe breaking the gas line. "Murphy" was here Friday. The laundry is closed because the dryers are gas. Yo can take a shower but there is no hot water but it's AZ and in the summertime the tap is never cold. 105-105-106 degrees WHEW!

Diane & Jim Liesse settled in their new place in Ogelsby IL. Diane says it went smooth. Jim golfing with his 2 brothers. Grandson married June 3rd. See everyone in August.

Dick Easterday is doing well after surgery.
Rumor has it Esther Constantine is leaving the park. Esther spent three days going around telling everyone "No Way" she's not going anywhere.

Party Time!

Kathy (hiding) me and the Jordans.

Enclosed are some photos from our planning sessions for the annual July FHTV Michigan Blast. One is a group photo on the deck of Al & Donna Miller's place and the other is Pete and Janet Jordan and Kathy and me in our sunroom entertaining. There are actually two gatherings. One is the FHTV annual July 19th golfbash and luncheon at our place and the other is the Pig Roast on the 21stat the Jordan's place. Our places are 300 feet apart. Some folks will attend both and make it a five day affair. Any one from FHTV may attend either or both parties. Any questions just contact me: Harold Gregorich hgreg@juno.com Thanks!
