Rummy Anyone?

 Thanks to Terri and Barb in Activities, 28 of us had a fun time at the first 3-13 rummy tournament on Friday afternoon.  In fact, we had so much fun that we decided to have a Rummy game on Sunday afternoons at 1:00 in the Adobe Room.  Rummy is a very versatile game with many versions and can be played with any number of players at a table.  Do you like to play cards?  Like to meet new people?  Come to the Adobe Room Sunday at 1:00.  No need to sign up anywhere.  We'll decide which games to play depending on the number of people who attend.


While I was out having fun at the card tables, Don was home watching the team from Rodriguez landscaping who came and washed out our gutters and downspouts and trimmed the palm trees in our front bed.  They did a great job!  





All this debris from just one downspout!

When they finished, they rinsed the whole driveway and even cleaned the debris from the street.



Wednesday was our ice cream social.  It's fun to meet with folks for a nice snack and some social time.



We kept the staff busy with dishing up the goodies.


I can't get a photo at night but the asphalt crews are out patching cracks in the streets.  Starting tomorrow we face the challenge of getting to our cars and carts and avoiding the wet asphalt.  We received a text message with the following announcement:

Starting next Monday, 8/14, the paving crew will be applying seal coat on the roads north of the tennis courts.  There are 6 phases of this paving project, and it should be completed by the end of August.  Please review the attached map to see which phase your home may be in.  The night before your street is scheduled to be worked on, please park your car on an adjacent street on the north side of the street.  Please do NOT drive on your street for 24 hours after it is sealed.  Driving on fresh oil can cause damage to your vehicle and can stain your driveway.


I just checked Weather Bug and see that we should have some relief from the heat.  It's still showing triple digits but at least its not OVER 110!!  And....there's even a slight possibility of some rain??  I'll believe it when I see it.
