Squirrel Droppings – Waiting Rooms

Posted on March 12, 2026 by webadmin

I hate to admit that I just don’t understand a lot of things that some people take for granted. Two things in particular merit my inquizitiveness. Jump in at any time to help. One thing I have noticed is that Pharmaceutical companies are advertising more and more of their wares on TV. To people who can not buy the stuff without a prescription. I guess the idea is that you see the ad, and, decide that you need to be cured of whatever the paid actors claim they have.

In Memoriam:  Linda Zink

Posted on March 10, 2026 by webadmin

Timber Valley residents were saddened to hear of the passing of Linda Zink, formerly of Lot 16 on February 25, 2026.

Linda was born January 17, 1948.  She was 78 years old.  She met David Arndorfer on a cruise.  She said “I picked him out on the first day and picked him up the next day.”  They were married March 10, 1992.  They spent time together traveling in their RV, volunteering at state parks and national parks.  They visited all 49 states and flew to Hawaii.

They moved into Timber Valley on June 13, 2013.  Linda was a very active member of the Welcome Committee.  She organized an annual ‘Sew-A-Thon’ in the clubhouse.  Ladies would bring their sewing machines to make gift items for the Welcome Committee.  Linda provided fabric, patterns and pizza for the group.  She made sure everyone was introduced and made to feel welcome.  She was also the coordinator for the annual Kentucky Derby Day.  Participants designed and created hats before the race.  Mint Juleps were served and all were ready for the race and to bet on their favorite horse.  Linda is remembered as a fun and caring person with the ability to bring people together.

David passed away in April of 2022.  Linda left the park in July of 2022 to live in Wauchula, Florida.  She is survived by her step-daughter Heidi Arndorfer.

Unfinished pages

Posted on March 5, 2026 by webadmin

I’ve been writing stories for several years now—some decent, a few great, and others simply so-so. When I find myself stuck for new material, I often look back at what has worked before. Now that I am in my seventies, ahem, it seems only natural to write a bit about death. Hopefully, this will resonate with some of you. Some may scratch your head and call it drivel. And that’s ok.

In Memoriam: Steve Jones

In Memoriam:  Ellis “Steve” Jones

Timber Valley residents were saddened by the news of the passing of Ellis “Steve” Jones of Lot 102 on February 10, 2026.

Steve was born August 22, 1943.  He was 82 years old.  He met his wife, Jackie on a blind date and they were together from then on.

They were married on September 18, 1981 and embarked on a life of adventure.  Steve was a firefighter before joining Foretravel Motor Coach Company as a master certified factory service representative.  He and Jackie traveled over 300,000 miles across the country doing warranty work on travel coaches.  During his off time and then later he ran an RV Repair Service in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.  During 2010 to 2012 he and Jackie raced corvettes in Auto-Cross Races.

They got their lot in Timber Valley on July 3, 2014.  With his vast knowledge of RVs, he freely gave his time to help out Timber Valley residents.  Shortly after coming to the park, he joined up with park musicians to form a band informally called 4 Bees and a Jay (Bonham, Bonham, Brown, Burns and Jones).  Steve played a gut bucket, an inverted tub with a cord out of the middle attached to a stick to keep it taut.  Band members often teased him did he need to borrow a tuner to tune up.  He would laugh, pluck high and low and nod that yep it was in tune.  The band provided entertainment in the clubhouse when all the members were here for the summer.

Steve and Jackie had 4 standard poodle therapy dogs that they took to   schools for reading programs.  The dogs were also taken to Hospice to give comfort to end of life patients.

Steve and Jackie were never apart for 44 years, sharing their love and concern for those around them.  Their home base is in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.  Jackie has a good support group of people and two therapy dogs to comfort her.  She will keep her lot here and hopes to come back during summers.

Steve is survived by his wife, Jackie, his sons, Matt, Randy and Chris and Jackie’s daughter Jill  He was preceded in death by his son, Don killed in a motorcycle accident.  We will miss his pure joy as he plucked his gut bucket and his genuine kindness.
