Flowers and Construction

We came upon this good looking Dude at the sidewalk that passes through to the 18th hole.  He's so cool with his flip flops, sun glasses, and his putter in hand.

Let the Crawfords know you saw him on the blog.

We met John and Gretchen Westgate this morning.  We spotted them looking over the golf course at several locations so we stopped to say hello and see if they needed help or had questions.  Lo and Behold....they've decided to buy a lot on the new street and were just trying to narrow down which site.  It's a hard decision because the whole area is beautiful.  We welcome them as new annuals!!
 
Look at the beautiful hanging baskets that arrived yesterday.  They're gorgeous!  I don't know if these are for sale or if they'll be used around the park.  Will have to wait for information.
 
Heavy duty work continues over at the Bistro.  Here are pictures of installing the fire pits.
 
 
 
 
The columns are ready for stucco.  Notice that the steel beams above have been painted.  I didn't see it in action though.  Sorry I missed the procedure.  Dang!  I'll have to nag Lillie Corbitt so she alerts me when exciting things happen.
 
Getting ready to cap the walls that surround the bistro.
 
 
We keep singing praises for Ernesto and his brick work but we need to credit his partner Jaime too.  Jaime is always there lugging the bricks and mortar and doing a lot of the cutting.  Thank you Jaime and congratulations on such fine work.
 
I find it so exciting to see the flowers being planted.  That seems to really signal the beginning of the season for me.  These two gents are doing a great job!  It must seem overwhelming to see all those flowers to be planted.  
 
 
 
 
 

****************
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa, Florida.

"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. However, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have eaten,
or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said,
 "Wedding Cake."
