Our laugh for the day!

I received the following from Pauline Beard (Fourth St) and I thought it would be a good day to share a smile with my friends. It comes from a series about Florida Seniors funny moments.

Two elderly people lived in a Florida community....let's say Avalon..., he was a widower and she a widow, had known each other for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the Clubhouse.
The two were at the same table, across from one another.
As the meal went on, he took a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered the courage to ask her, 'Will you marry me?'
After about six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered 'Yes. Yes, I will!'
The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. 'Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?'
He couldn't remember.
Try as he might, he just could not recall.
Not even a faint memory.
With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her.

First, he explained that he didn't remember as well as he used to.
Then he reviewed the lovely evening past..
As he gained a little more courage, he inquired, 'When I asked if you would marry me, did you say ' Yes' or did you say 'No'?'
He was delighted to hear her say, 'Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I meant it with all my heart.'
Then she continued, 'And I am so glad that you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me.'

Can you relate?

Have a great day!

Sad News.

Good afternoon friends. I have some sad news to share. Larry Gohm, husband of Dorothy (Fifth St) passed away today. Larry suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday and sadly did not recover. Larry was a great gentleman and such a loving husband to Dorothy, always working so hard to make sure everything was "just right" for his sweetheart. He was as proud as a peacock whenever she sang on Thursday nights and he loved to take her dancing at "New York, New York". Larry will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Please keep Dorothy in your prayers. She has lost the man she called "the love of her life".

Greetings from Linda the Bingo Lady!

Two posts in one day...must be some kind of record!
I received an e-mail from Linda W (Fourth St) and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Message from Sally

I received the following message from our Avalon friend Sally who used to live on Fifth St and I wanted to pass it along.


We are regretting selling our place last year. Seems CJ is feeling better and we would like to be in Avalon this year. We are interested in renting a place Jan -March or April. Contact me at: 207/942-5429 or by email: Sally432@myfairpoint.net


Sally Polyot

So if anyone can help Sally and C.J out that would be great. It sure would be nice to have them back in the park this year.

As I am getting quite a few requests of this sort feel free to contact me with any places you hear of for rent this coming season and I will pass on the info.

Take care
Lori

August Already!

My how the time flies! Last time I looked summer was just getting off to a good start and already it seems the days are getting shorter. Before you know it we will be basking in the FLORIDA sun - together again!
In the meantime I have some items of interest to pass along.
One of our Avalon family has started a page on Facebook called "Avalon RV Resort Clearwater Florida. If you are a Facebooker I am sure you will find it a great page to join. Thanks to Angie Pawson-Wildgoose for giving us one more way to keep in touch.

I have received a request from Ron Steeves to post something on the blog in case there is someone looking for a renter for the coming season:

Ron writes: This is a retired police Sergeant who I served under as an Auxiliary Constable on the New Brunswick Highway Patrol. I forward this to you as Avalon allows motorcycles. Thanks, Ron

I am considering going back to Florida again this year, alone this time. I am thinking of the period Nov to Mar. I would like to find a reasonable place like a trailer or apartment with one bedroom, furnished, kitchenette and a place to park my car and my bike. It does not have to be on the beach. Can be anywhere at all for me.

UPDATE: Ron's friend has found a place, not in our park, but somewhere nearby and that he thinks will meet his needs quite well.


That's all for now. Hope all the "boys & girls" are having a great summer.
