Mouse BD, Artisan Show

We received a text from the park this morning announcing that Palm Tree trimming will start on the golf course on Tuesday, June 20 at 6a.m. and will take about two weeks.  The golf course WILL be open during this time.  (Must be some brave tree trimmers!) ðŸ˜‰

I saved a life:  

 Sometimes a little honey bee will fall into the swimming pool.  I try to rescue them by tossing them up onto the edge of the pool (without getting stung!)  Then because I'm standing in the pool, I'm actually eye level with the bee as it tries to recover.  One day I happened to have my cell phone near enough so did a little video of the bee drying himself off so he could stay alive and fly away.  I thought it was fascinating to watch:


June 16 was Mouse's 6th year adoption day.  Such a cute baby kitten.

Now a 6-year-old spoiled monster.  😸

What a great idea presented by our Activities Department!  Many of our talented residents love their hobbies but may wind up with a lot of extra inventory items.  Here's an opportunity for all of us.  It's an Artisan Craft Market just in time for Christmas shopping.

Mark your calendar now for Saturday, December 2 when all these lovely hand-crafted items will be displayed for sale.  This advanced notice will give our crafters the opportunity to create some special items for sale.  This should keep our woodshop, pottery, stained glass, and all crafters busy building inventory.

I'm sure Chef Maywalt will have a great lunch for us that day.  Speaking of Chef....here's another reminder to our summer residents to visit the Ballroom Cafe for breakfast or lunch!  This week's special will be those yummy Monte Carlo sandwiches!  That GREAT salad bar will be there too.
