Monday Update

Summer is a nice quiet time for little chores.  Since we had to clear out all the cabinets in the Adobe Room, we divided up the cases of chips among some of the summer residents and took them home for cleaning.


We washed and rinsed.


and dried


and stacked all neatly back after cleaning and vacuuming out the boxes themselves.  Mission accomplished.  Thank you to Avis Gray, Diane Reese, Cheryl DeHart, and ME for doing our share.  We want to keep all the poker players healthy and happy.  We must take care of all the toys.  :)


We noticed that all the RV sites are getting new address bricks.  They're painted with nice bold numbers so can be seen easily from the street.  Another chore by our maintenance crews.  Thank you.


Thought all this framing under the new house was interesting.  Measure twice, cut once.  Lots of work in prepping these sites.


They removed about a foot of dirt from this entire surface so the level would be right for the new pickleball courts.  



All the dirt is dug up and is now being hauled to the back 40 for storage.



That's all for today.  Have to get ready to play cards with the girls this afternoon and then we have Bingo at the clubhouse tonight.  I get to be caller again.  Go 55!

Here are some amazing home remedies passed down through generations:

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE
ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

 
2. TO AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT,
USE THE SINK.

 
3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED
FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS.
(REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.)

 
4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM 
ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

 
5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES.. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU NEED ONLY TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD,
USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
