Pass Hope Along
By Fred Prout
The after church crowd has dwindled down to T Rex (fka Thomas King) and yours truly. Shirley Shewill comes over coffee pot in hand. T and I have been yakking about things in general. Particularly some of the Easter finery that was on display. I know T is not a religious person, but he’s one of the most spiritual souls on this good earth. “Frippery” he calls it in his most cynical way. “Getting all dolled and duded up makes you a better person? Bullies hit” he snorts. Continue reading
In Memoriam – Dolly
By Ruby Bonham
Although we remember the lost lives of our park members, there is another loss that we don’t usually share – the loss of a beloved pet. As I was working on this I read Fred’s loss of Kelly. On Friday, St Patrick’s Day my Dolly left to join her Daddy in the light.
Dolly was a street dog in Mexico. Ed met her is 2011. He came out of a little store with a pastry to be met by a gang of street dogs hovering around the exit. A little blond dog followed him to a bench and shared his pastry. He was hooked. He picked her up, fleas and all, and took her to the house where he as staying. She was low dog in the pack pecking order and bore a scar on her nose as evidence of that. Continue reading
Screaming Silence
By Fred Prout
They don’t make noise. You can walk in the door and not hear a thing.
Maybe you can feel a presence. But no sound. The footpads on the carpet are silent. You close the door and feel a gentle nudge. It makes you aware of a second heartbeat. An aura of unconditional love pervades the room. Not a sound. Just an overwhelming sense of togetherness. The silence interrupted by the occasional clinking of a pair of metal tags. “I’m here! I love you! Pet me”. You read, watch tv, go to bed. You don’t hear the breaths. The snores. You are aware of them and are comforted by them.
Sooner than you want, the dreaded day comes. The day to do the necessary. What’s right. No matter how painful. The right thing. If you are extremely fortunate, you have a loved one with you. To share the tears. The grief. To hold you. To be held. To accompany you home. So you don’t hear the silence. Alone.
But, fate, as it will, makes certain that you soon open that door. Alone. The silence screams. It is overpowering in its intensity. It roars. You can’t avoid it.
The room contains almost fifteen years of memories. Shared walks, trips, visits, love. The memories assail you. Screaming silently. The more you cared, the louder the screams of silence.
R.I.P Kelly. 4/15/08 -3/14/23. You brought happiness to all you met.

Random musings on the vagaries of life.
I understand that as you mature (a condition I resist with all my being) stuff happens to your body. In the past, I have recounted a few previous run ins with the medical community. It seems that when I was a child, maybe 3 or 4 , I started to go outside. In the sunshine. I can see by your nodding that you can tell where this is going. Continue reading

Beverly Boykin, In Memoriam
Timber Valley Park lost a lovely and beloved lady March 11, 2023 when Beverly Boykin, lot#87 passed away. Beverly was born October 24, 1942 in Glendale, Ca. She attended school in Woodland Hills and Carmichael, Ca. and was in her second year of nursing school at Sacramento when she married George Boykin on Aug. 10, 1963.
In 1964 Beverly joined The Belles, an auxiliary of the Fire Department where George was Chief. She drove the Fire Truck and was involved with the Fire Department doings.
Beverly and George had honeymooned in a pick-up camper and thus began their many happy years of travelling and RVing. In 1983 they joined Escapees and until recently went on many of the Escapees HOPS. They joined Timber Valley in Feb. 10, 2015. Both of them played pokeno and bingo and Beverly recently retired as a board member when her health deteriorated. She was fighting cancer for just over one year and passed away with her family around her.
Beverly is survived by a large and loving family. Her two daughters, Jeannette Rodriquez and her children Jessica and Samantha; daughter Evelyn Anders, her children Christina, Amy and Robert and 5 great grandchildren. Most of them and their spouses have been with Beverly and George in her final hours. At their request there will be no memorial service but cards or phone messages are welcome .
