Fourth of July! Am I right? The dogs told me they finally got their lobby group to tighten up the use of fireworks, but they still are not on board with the celebrations. As far as I know, cats have only made their opinion known by passive aggressive hiding.
Speaking of the weather, Happy Heatwave! Why are we surprised every summer when the topic is the weather? First storm has already happened – Erick – but wait, first Major storm (since they are alphabetic and this season is Scandinavian too) so we are approximately 5 storms in (math!) and storm shutters and supplies are not even on our mind. Yet.
It is not bad advice to consider the past while planning the future.
The neighborhood is quiet unless you are the guy who keeps getting rain instead of sunshine, but then again – that’s most of us. Quiet in the sense that there are no major neighborhood events to promote, sponsor or attend. Quiet in the sense there is not a single mention of $25 HOA DUES! Nope, there are TWO mentions of $25 HOA DUES! Enough of that.
There is a feel-good-about-the-neighborhood story in this edition, and I want to thank Stan Recob (founder of the Island Crew) for bringing this to our attention. If you have anything newsworthy regarding our neighborhood – send it to us and we will feature your news!
Congratulations for navigating your way to the E-Newsletter (copyright pending) our paperless version of the HOA Newsletter for the summer months. We are taking a break from our monthly meetings also, but they will resume in August. When you are talking to your neighbor about this fabulous newsletter and they say – hey, I didn’t get that – remind them to send a message to WinterWoodsHOA@gmail.com, and get on our list to receive all those notifications and the newsletter.
There are home improvement projects going on in several locations around the neighborhood and they are a great indication that our residents are working to promote prestige and pride for the purpose of maintaining property value for everyone. Kudos to renovations! (a word of Greek origin, meaning “fame” or “glory”)
Even though you’re cooking your own hotdog, there are events in the fall to put on your calendar including the Neighborhood Night Out on Saturday October 4th, 5:00pm through dark and the Fall Garage Sale on Saturday November 15th!
Enjoy your vacations and bug bites! I’m on a boat!
