I posted this picture in my Yahoo blog a couple of weeks ago but I think it really needs to be here. See, we do work in the summer.Karen, with Larry Dean's advise and help from Tony, Renee, Angel and just about everybody in the park, has provided a really spiffy gazebo for extra shade by the pool.
We took time in between cut-throat volleyball matches to pick up, center and just generally help with unsolicited advise. After being bolted into the cement it is apparent that this thing will not move. It's a real quality piece and looks great by the pool. It is supposed to be for smoker's shade but we are all using it. Thanks Karen, both smokers and non-smokers will benefit.
We've been enjoying the gazebo for a few weeks now and let me tell you, it is great! There is a nice cooling breeze most of the time. Sitting in the doorway of the pavilion just cannot compare.
I tried to be discreet...all the best nudists are wearing orange fig leaves this year.

Construction on the new shower house is about to begin. It will be on the east side of the pool (tennis side) and will have a couple of toilets and, of course, the showers. I'll get some pictures of progress up as it occurs.

Here is an update from Neet & Ken. Our thoughts are certainly with them in this difficult time.
"Well, it is count down. For those of you I don't talk with daily we are on go for surgery.
We go in Monday the 16th for a heart Cath. then tuesday for the actual surgery. Heart doctor doesn't think the lymph node surgery went as well as he wanted but, can not wait any longer to replace the valve. If he ends up being able to repair it it will give us a better chance of survival down the road.All your thoughts and prayers are what keeps us going. Kenneth said today it was a shame this is the best he has felt in 15 years and he is going to come out of this feeling awful...we still have our humor!
hugs to all,
Neet, Kenneth and Katfish."

Catherine & Bob are just about to leave Tommy & Terry's place in Missouri to head back to Indiana. Dr. B has a new horse, Genuine Dreamer, and Catherine won first place and some money at Calf Sorting last Tuesday evening with a ten-year-old boy as her team-mate.

Bob & Bernie are fighting floods in Indiana...boy, could we use some of that rain here!

Phaleta has become a nudist poster girl. She's been in the AANR bulletin twice in as many months. Check out the May issue for her Prarie Haven picture, and this month she and I are modeling her body painting.

We are still occasionally fielding three teams for water volleyball tho Bob & Bev are leaving for Colorado on Monday, and Lanny & Donna have already left, headed west, so we may be down to two teams for the rest of the summer. That new gazebo sure comes in handy for breaks. Petanque has it's die-hards. Tommy (Evelyn) usually can be found there, along with Charlie, Gene, & Nick.
