Valentines Day 2026

Last year, Renita and I volunteered as Activities Directors. Thank goodness, our Activities Directors, Zita and Alan, were rehired this year, and so we had their usual feast. Alan is a Barbecue Pitmaster and so we had the choice of his Prime Rib Plate or Chicken both grilled in a large barbecue drill!
The cost for the dinner was only twenty-five dollars for the Prime and twenty dollars for the Cornish Hen plate.
Where else could you get such a feast for those prices! As usual the festivities started off with pictures, a prayer, and the feast itself.
We enjoyed the special time with our friends and family. Thanks to Zita and Alan for the outstanding feast! Clear skies

Show and tell and Sell Arts/Craft show at Blue Lagoons 2026, (also called Marks and Renita's Show)

2026 Blue Lagoons Show and Tell and Sell Show Over the past years Renita and I have organized a Craft and Tell and Sell Show. This allows anyone in our park to share their crafts/art work. They can sell or just show and describe what they do. Most do not sell anything, just show that there are other things to do, besides fish. This year we had three new tables, our friends Jane, Rhonda, and Jim. Two others had to back out at the last minute due to other conflicts. We hope they can return next year. Here’s pictures of their work along with the rest of the returning friends,(greta smiles all).
Rhonda does beautiful small bead work.
Jim flies radio-controlled airplanes. He allowed all to practice flying one, using remote controls on to a tv screen, (mine ended in spectacular crashes)!
Jane designs and sews beautiful purses, phone carry cases, and other items from recycled material.
Maureen is a returning vender who demonstrates her line of Skin Care Products.
Dianna makes practical items that are always well received.
Jim Dogget is a Lapidarist, (like us), and make’s roseries, wire wrapped jewelry, and other items. He also sells slabs. Finnaly a picure of our tables. Renita is a lapidarist, wire wrapper, and also braids Kumihimo! Thanks to Blue Lagoons for allowing us to share our love for what we do! Clear skies
