Moving right along.....

Hey, guess what I heard at the laundry room this morning (not really...I got an e-mail...but I'm pretending we're at Avalon!!) A little birdie told me that although Kirby is still waiting for a more effective medication to help his breathing, he has received good news about results for some tests that he had. Hooray for Kirby and Deb! We'll all be keeping you in our prayers Kirby, until you are totally recovered and breathing easy once again.
Well, summer has started in earnest here in southern Ontario and we are enjoying a stretch of sunny days and high temps. We spent the Victoria Day weekend at the lake and for a change we had some beautiful, warm days. We often joke about how the Americans always seem to get great weather on their Memorial Day weekend and we usually get rained out on our holiday, but this past weekend we had nothing to complain about!
In your travels this summer, remember to keep an eye out for some of the little "extras" you might want to bring to Avalon next season. We are planning a dance in late January with the theme "Hooray for Hollywood" so you will want to be on the lookout for anything that will transform you into a star! We will also have a Mardi Gras Dance in March so check out those garage sales for fancy dresses, feather boas and sequined masks.
Several people have mentioned they would love to have a block party next year. I think that means they would love to attend a block party if somebody else organizes it so I thought I would throw it out there to see what you think. If we got the permission of the rec committee and "corporate" (or we could go ahead and figure its easier to get forgivess than permission!) we could close off one street to traffic and maybe set up a couple of firepits and have some music. We could potluck hor doevres from different cultures (chinese, mexican, british, french etc) and roast hot dogs and marshmallows over the pits, We could dance in the streets and have a great time with both recorded music and a few live tunes if some musicians are available and willing. If the weather is a little better in February we could do it then before the busy time starts. Let me know what you think. It would be a very casual family atmosphere and we might get a few more Avaloners interested in our activities. We would also be able to invite friends from outside our park so they could see what a lovely park we have at Avalon.

Well friends.. take care of yourselves and talk to you soon. I miss you all and am planning on some great times for the fall.
