Fire Dept Presentation, traffic, events

 Here's a sample of traffic during the summer time:

Looks like a family of at least 8 younger ducks headed over to the lake for a swim or just to see if Del and Ann Larue were at home.

We don't mind this kind of traffic, especially when our morning weather remains so ideal.  Nice cool morning temps and even a little cloud cover?  It's a gorgeous day!!

The Casa Grande Fire Department held a safety awareness presentation yesterday.  Martha (nickname Tita) is their education coordinator and does a great job of keeping us entertained as she moved from subject to subject.  It was amazing that over 75% of calls received are medically related vs. actual fire calls.

 We learned that the average life expectancy of a home smoke alarm is 10 years.  Uh Oh.....maybe it's time for replacement in some of our homes?  It's hard enough to replace batteries on the high ceilings.  Martha says the fire department will actually replace them for us.  Activities will try to set up a project where they could come to Palm Creek on a scheduled day to assist those of us who can't handle a tall ladder anymore.  Great idea!!

After a morning card game, several of us went to the Ballroom Cafe for lunch.  The special this week was a delicious Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries.  It was a favorite for many and received rave reviews.

I'm really looking forward to next week's special of Monte Cristo sandwiches.....and can't wait to try that soup!

LOL.........after lunch on the way home, we had another traffic delay while another young family crossed the road.  😉
