07/02/10 ~ Bubblin' RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ...all through Salt Springs! WOW, LOTS-n-LOTS OF INFO FOR THE WEEKEND AND UPCOMING TIMES TOO!!! Jesse is HOME, yes at his place right here in Salt Springs Village and doing well, of course we knew he would. Has a lot of recoup time and healing ahead but everything went well and he's on top of the world again, like he stays!! Great going Jesse. It was a really invasive, large incision, serious surgery and he will be at home tending to himself for a while. Let him know ya love 'em!!! Still sending those prayers for complete recovery too and we will see him dancing again. Joanne Crawford from the "v" has a grandaughter in Afghanistan. The Ladie's Aux. has been so good to gather and send things over to our troops, the guys and gals we adore and honor. Joanne asked what we could do for her and members of her squadron........... guess what, simple!!! LETTERS, POSTCARDS, MAIL, CARDS............. Some messages from US!!! Read letter below from Ladie's.................. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! The Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW Post 10208 in Salt Springs has been supplying goodies and needed supplies to troops in Afghanistan this past year. We now have a second member with a grandchild over there and her platoon is requesting letters from home. Many troops do not have family at home or for other reasons no contact from home. Many just want to hear what is going on in your life - and life back home here in the states - and most importantly they would like to hear and know they have our support. We are asking everyone to take a few minutes and sit down and write a letter to a troop. Letters can be dropped off at the Post and we will mail them in bulk to Afghanistan. And speaking of the BEST, WOW, the VFW is taking on new look per Rosie, tables moved around OH NO, whatever will we do finding our assigned seats NOW!!! Hey, she'll find it for us and it really looks good. Had great party for Glenda on Monday and YOU did it again, kept the SURPRISE!!!! She'll still be with us on the FUN SIDE!!!!! Wayne, our new Commander, took notice of our Wii bowling skills, ha, not mine!!! Anyway, now the "v" has a Wii, hmm that rhymes, bet Joe could put some words to that!!! Last night with Pizza everyone took advantage of some extra playing time!!! FIREWORKS IN SS, OH YES, THERE WILL BE!!!! FIRESWORKS ON SAT ON LAKE KERR, BIG AND LITTLE LAKE KERR. ELITE WILL ALSO BE SETTING THEIRS OFF. THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS GOING ON IN THERE. THE "REC CLUB GANG" HAS PUT TOGETHER QUITE A BANG FOR ALL THREE DAYS!! DON'T MISS IT!! TOMORROW, CACTUS JACK'S HOT AS A FIRECRACKER COOKOUT, APPETIZERS AT NOONISH AND BIG EATS AROUND 4 OR 5. MUSIC, FUN, FRIENDS............ NOTHING BETTER!!!! SWING DOWN THERE AND VISIT THE GIRLS AND LYNN, CACTUS LYNN THAT IS!!!! RUSTY EMAILED THAT DEANNE IS HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND IS OUT OF STATE. WENT TO SEE HER AILING DAD AND SHE GOT SICK, LOOKING AT SURGERY NOW. THE CONSIGNMENT SHOP BY ICEHOUSE, TREASURE CHEST, WILL BE OPEN WHEN THE AMERICAN FLAG IS FLYING, I LIKE THAT. RUSTY'S TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH IT ALL. THINKING OF YOU GUY AND SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT DEANNE, SENDING THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HER WAY!!! NEED A BOAT, A BASSTRACKER AT THAT, HERE'S A DEAL. DAVID BURKHALTER, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY, HAS 2006, 17'4", 60 hp Mercury, 4 stroke with tracker marine for sale................ 352-427-0607 $7,800. If you receive the Ladies Auxiliary magazine, July issue, there is an article about OUR POST, yep Salt Springs, Fl, it says!!! They "flew" a 90 yr. old retired woman pilot, yes, woman on the ride of her life!!! Joanne and Loretta put it together for her when she couldn't make it to Washington to receive a Congressional Gold Medal for her duties as a WASP during World War II...she just wanted to "fly" again and they did it!!! Mary Gates and Jaye Beeler also were there to watch!!! Why in the world, 90 yrs. ago, would a woman become a pilot??? "It was war, and it was our country.......... every woman got busy to see what she could do".......... banners and kudos to Marguerite Bernhardt from Ocala. OK OK, so much to do is such little time........... get out there and do something. Be aware of warm water temps and shallow places with children, being advised by Health Dept. to use earplugs and not putting heads under water in those conditions!!!

05/18/10 ~ It's likely "boiling" with heat today after the dreary day yesterday, but we are SO thankful for the nice rain! It was beginning to get way too hot for May! MoJo is enjoying some cooler weather this week and next in "The Land of the Midnight Sun." Have fun, Melvene, and enjoy the time with your family! SHHH! It's a SURPRISE, but Mr. George Custer, our famous fiddlin' buddy is having a birthday! Saturday afternoon at the VFW will be FUN, FUN, FUN as we honor him with a jam session. Gather there at 3:30. "Miss Fay" will bring him in about 3:45 for the SURPRISE PARTY. And don't forget to bring your instruments and join us! If you can sing, play, yodel, whistle, or hum, you're welcome to join in!! It's also FISH FRY NIGHT at the "V," so bring your appetite along too! While MoJo is gone, you'll need to check the www.SaltSpringsFL.com website for AS THE SPRING BOILS because my server won't allow sending to that many subscribers. (We have well over 200 now!) That's about all for now, so stay cool!! CoJo

04/29/10 ~ With great sadness I must let everyone know that our good friend, Smokey, had a boating accident this morning and passed away. Smokey always had that smile and joke for everyone. He loved Salt Springs and was always a part of "our" family group!!!!! All I know right now is that he apparently fell out of his boat and drowned, I am assuming in North Carolina but I will get more details from Joan as she finds out from there. He recently went on a "trip" with us but somehow no one told him it was for the weekend, not just the day!! Oh my.......... he just laughed along the whole weekend and bought a toothbrush at the local Quick Stop. He will be greatly missed by many friends!!!

Hope all those yard sales were prosperous this past weekend, what a beautiful time for them. We had a visitor from NC here for the FIRST time. He emailed this morning and emphasized again, what a place this is. Hard to believe how lucky we are, well no, I believe it!!! Salt Springs seems to be THE place you hate to leave and always look forward to the next trip back. Could be those good friends, fun, food and such a variety of things to do in such a small area!!! Well, Spring has Sprung!!! It's time to start in on that spring cleaning and what better way to do it than begin with cleaning those carpets to put in the fresh smell of summer comin' on!!! Jimmy Littleton can get those carpets and upholstery smellin' springy after this cold, dreary winter!!! Call him 685-1598. Southern Rukus did their usual fine job of entertaining the Frontier group. Jack's had a really good band too, TNT. And what a night at VFW Friday night.......... a real first, one to go down in the history book (of Wii bowling). Partners Ron Baker and Marlene Larsen BOTH had a PERFECT 300 SCORE, both of them?? Now what are the odds on that........... and yes, of course THEY WON!!! Sorry Bob and Dan BUT.............. can't touch that!!! Larry and Margie had a fun day at their place. Margie's birthday and Jerry's......... hey, party going on!! Larry, mmm mmm good fried fish and bunches of food. We were honored to hear Mr. George Custer on the fiddle..... and then the Southern Rukus guys (loved the bucket drums, Rob on keyboard, Gary, Terry is hot on the guitar, Joyce on banjo....... of course Margie a singin' and Larry, Thomas, Jesse and Rufus!!! Just a GREAT day!!! (Don, we missed you but know you were singin' from above) Mr. Frank enjoyed his "surprise" at Jack's........... more food, family, friends and fun!!!!
