Carlson's Celebrate 54th Anniversary!!!

We at RV 35 are having a 54th wedding anniversary dinner for Dick & Lucille this Friday, August 22 (4:30 p.m.).

Coastal Care van will bring Lucille for the event.

After over 5 months!! of lying flat on her back, she is working hard to regain her health and her footing. God willing, Lucille will be back participating with us this winter season.

Lucille Hits the Parallel Bars—Gold Medal Expected!

Here's the photo we've all waited months to see: Lucille back on her feet!

Way to go, Lucille! Congratulations!

The message is in the picture, so no further comments from me.

Wildlife at the Williams' Home

Today we got a good view of some of God's beautiful creations right in our own yard.


A fawn came wandering through the back yard and helped him/herself to a green apple. Then, strolled over to the hedge at the edge of our lawn and laid down for a rest. This was the first fawn we've seen this year, although we have seen an adult pass through on several occasions, eying the apple tree each time.


Pat has a modestly extensive flower garden. Or two or three. Right now, the cone flowers are blooming abundantly. The butterfly must have thought they were attractive, too, so stopped by.

Al Johnson Improving

Al Johnson is expecting to return to the park next week--that's his expectation, we hope it materializes. He got the okay, yesterday, to put weight on his left leg.

He's in Gulf Point Plaza, 1008 Enterprise Blvd, Rockport 78382.

Thank you, Allison, for the above report.

Lucille Update #6

Lucille is much closer to "home" now. Here's information from Allison:

Lucille Carlson moved to Rockport Coastal Care; 1004 S. Young Street; Rockport 78382
Room 305.

This is indeed good news! We're thankful that she can be closer to Dick and 35 RV and that she has healed well enough to permit this move.

We hope that healing continues at a speedy rate!

Hurricane Dolly Report

Here's a report from Allison regarding the effect of Dolly:

Hurricane Dolly did NOT come here! She went well south of us.

We got cloudy skies, beginning about noon on Wednesday. Some mild to moderate rain--which we needed and moderate wind.

A few small branches and leaves were shaken from the trees. No problem with awnings, chairs, etc.

The weather stations do like to sensationalize and we are very grateful to those who were concerned enough to call or email to say you and others are praying for us.

Lucille Update #5: Move to Rockport Planned

There's good news from the Carlson Camp this week:

• Lucille is feeling and eating much, much, better and has apparently recovered from her bout of severe dehydration.
  
  
• X-rays this week showed that one leg could support about 60% of her weight, the other leg no weight. To be safe, then, she is still to put no weight on either of them.
  
  
• Plans are for her to move to a facility in Rockport Monday, July 21.

The picture above shows Lucille showing off her sporty new boots (actually casts) which keep the bones in place during healing. No pins were inserted to hold them together.

Below, Lucille has a nice smile because the fruit salad and Coke for lunch looks very inviting!



These pictures, taken July 17, were provided by Dick—and we thank him for them. Now if he could just send up one of his good back rubs attached to an email, we'd all feel better!
