NO bad storms at Valhalla

We have had some calls from other states and Indiana asking if Valhalla is O.K. We had some stormy weather here on Fri. but nothing severe here, which we are thankful for !! There were storms at Park Rapids, Menagha, and north of Pk. R. which destroyed some homes, a Jennie O turkey farm and many buildings there. We have gotten alot of rain those couple of days, I think Steve said 2.5 ins. He pulled all of the boats out and off of the docks Thurs. night and all day Fri. they were out. It is a good precaution. We have had boats and docks wrecked in the past. Linda Crow called today and she said there had been some bad weather there. They saw a tree go down, but nothing at their place. Jared called Steve to see if everything was alright. He heard about the storm on the radio from Ft. Wayne, coming home from work. We had people call from S. Dak. asking also. No one wants "their cabins" to be blown away or their vacation spot destroyed.
The resort is quite full for the summer. Doesnt seem to bother people, so far, that the gas is so expensive. After
June 14 there are only a couple of weeks left until Aug 16th. People are still calling for
reservations, yesterday.

We finally had a nice warm day yesterday. It has been cold and rainy for a long time. We had wood fires in our furnaces all last week !!!!

Congratulations on your new home, Paula and Austin. That was quite a Family Makeover.

No one from Indiana here this week . Our people are from Omaha, Neb. Kansas City(a couple staying for five weeks!!) S. Dak. and St. Paul/Mpls. Little Caleb is here with Tamie and Steve for 10 days or so. Steve G. and I will have him three days next week while Tamie works. He loves the lake and being outside. Sara ,Ethan and Emma will be here next week end, so the children will have some time tog.

Congratulations to all of the Graduates this Year !!!!!

Love to all, Norma Jean
