Alert



Alert Alert................our park wide water will have to be shut off Thursday morning from 8 till about noon while a big repair is made to the main water line.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  

**************************

We were at Lucky's for dinner tonight when every cell phone in the restaurant announced a dust storm warning.  Our friend, Manson, had just washed his car this afternoon so he could drive us to dinner.  We laughed when we came out of the restaurant as his car looked like he hadn't washed it in a week.  Lots of dust and just enough spots of rain to really make a mess of his clean car.  Ya gotta love the desert to live here in the summer.  LOL

How does this look for a boring weather forecast?


Progress continues on construction over in the new north 40.  The new dog parks are being finished.  More bricks and pavers on the way.


Piles of gravel all over waiting to be spread out on new sites.



New houses are popping up all over out there.  We picked up this map from the sales office this morning.  Red circles indicate SOLD, blue indicates spec homes, and yellow shows where the models are located.



Don't see a lot of activity at the new center or pool yet.



The crop duster was busy as a buzzing bee again this morning.



Don and I went about our usual morning chores as we toured around the park.

Repairing irrigation lines.

Refilling water buckets for houses and RVs.

Sweeping down the spider webs before entering houses.



Every now and then we have to stop to enjoy the wildlife.


When we're finally home after morning chores, we have our furry friends to entertain us.




It's a hot quiet summer here.

Next week will be the date of my father's birthday so I find myself thinking of him quite a bit with fond memories.  He had several crazy sayings but I saw these pillows while going through houses this morning and immediately smiled.  

When he had no use for something, he would say it was as useless as a screen door on a submarine OR as useless as buttons on a pillow.  Wouldn't he laugh if he saw that buttons now tend to be a fashion statement.  If he was still on earth with us, I would buy him one for his birthday.
