Posted on June 30, 2021 by Jackie Deal

By Jackie Deal
They have to be related! Amber and Felicette! Their markings are identical: symmetrically marked black and white tuxedo cats. Felicette just has to be Amber’s great-great-great grandmother. Grandma Felicette was a stray cat from the Paris streets who was trained to be an astronaut. She is the first and only cat known to have survived a trip into space. Continue reading →

It’s Going to Get HOT!!

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Dick Shanahan

Saturday and Sunday are predicted to be 100 plus degrees! Some of us will be tempted to turn on two air conditioners. That is not a good idea as we will be stressing our electrical system as it is. When a distribution circuit breaker trips, several units will be without power for some time. We will have to call Randy in to reset them and he may have to wait for the breaker to cool before it can be reset. Remember, our Park rules allow only ONE air conditioner to be run at any one time.

AARP Oregon advises: Get prepared for when disaster strikes

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Julianne G Crane

Get prepared for disasters common to Oregon, says AARP Oregon. (AARP)

“It’s important to be ready when disaster strikes. Whether it’s flood, wildfire or other emergency common to Oregon, these events disproportionately affect older adults, many of who have mobility, chronic disease or disability challenges that require them to seek extra assistance to get to safety,” according to an article in June’s AARP Bulletin.

“AARP Oregon is presenting a virtual conference on community preparedness, Resilient Futures 2021, June 28-30 (Monday through Wednesday).

To register for the free event and view the conference sessions, go to: states.aarp.org/oregon/resilient-futures-2021.

“If you can’t watch the conference live but want to view it later, register in advance to receive a link and passcode.”

They love the California coast and their view at the Visitor

Notice from the Board

Posted on June 4, 2021 by admin
The Board of Directors has, effective today June 4, 2021, revised the Covid-19 Rules for using the Timber Valley Clubhouse.
The revised rules are:
1. Persons 15 days or more past their final Covid-19 vaccination shot are no longer required to wear face masks while using the Clubhouse.
2. Those persons NOT completely vaccinated must continue to wear face masks at all times.
3. The Park continues to encourage social distancing whenever possible.
We’ve come a long way during the past year to keep our Park as safe as possible. With a little more effort on all of our parts I’m sure we’ll be back to a more normal situation soon.

Amber Attacks the Aliens

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Jackie Deal

I am Amber.  The Attack Cat. Hear me roar!  I am alert.  Ready for battle. Ready to protect my home and family.  I lie flat to the floor to escape detection by the enemy.  My paws are ready to pounce. My ears are flat, back, the better to hear.  My claws are unsheathed.  I am a sleek, well-oiled killing machine. I am watching.  Waiting.  Continue reading →
