Rain, Illegals, Cypcars, Othober's

OK, we are on Day 3 of rain. I'm so glad we weren't planning on leaving this week. Several residents were going to but I think we've only seen one that actually pulled out. Foolish one's.

So this has been our view out the windows:

It would quit and start to look like it was going to clear up and the sky opens up again. ENOUGH!! As of last night David said he had just under 2 inches in the rain gauge and I'm sure we've had that much today.

The other night we were sitting outside at Gary/Marilynn's and a dark green helicopter kept flying back and forth over this area. The door was open and we could see someone sitting inside so we would wave to them every time they flew over. We new it wasn't Border Patrol as there wasn't any markings and the next day I read the local on-line paper that they were National Guards. Seems two choppers have been assigned to this area to help patrol. Last night around 10:00 we could really hear the chopper above us but they must have had lights off as we couldn't see them. Than this morning about 9:00 the chopper was hovering over an area at the end of our street. Larry and Gary jumped on their bikes and road down there and saw six patrol cars loading up a bunch of people. For those of you reading this that know our park this was down in Phase 3 in the fence row. It wasn't long and the chopper & more patrol cars were down by the entrance of the State Park. So now I'm wondering if they (Homeland Security) didn't no there was a group of illegals heading this way. Just seems really strange to have all this happen within a few days. But unfortunately the local news does not say much about what happens around here.

Meet the Cypcar's

I know you've seen some pictures of David and Linda and I mention them quite often here on the blog. So thought I'd better officially introduce you to them. They are actual Texas residents now even tho they spent their pre-retirement years in several northern States with their last house being in the UP of Michigan. Summers are spent traveling from one family member to another as their kids are all living in different area's but come mid August they start working their way down here.

Now the Orthober's

Gary and Marilynn still have a home in Door County WI that they return to in the summer. Gary is the wood carver that I've posted pictures of and he also keeps us all in stitches with his stories. They are such a neat couple and we so enjoy spending time with.

Well the rain has stopped for the time being. Maybe we'll be able to sit outside for happy hour today but we won't get our hopes up. Welcome - Clarksville PA Forney TX Till next time........
