It’s a Beautiful Day to…
…be alive and be outdoors. The sun is bright, the air is a comfortable 69 degrees, the breeze is very gentle. It’s a beautiful day to cruise the neighborhood in a golf cart, like Dee and Carol did. It’s a beautiful day to read a good book by the pool, like Sue did. It’s a beautiful day to swim in Grandma’s pool, like Sue’s grandchildren and their friends did. It’s a beautiful day to lie […]
The Sweet Smell of Progress
This was a big morning for my soon-to-be neighbor, Jan, and her husband, Steve. The lumber for their new Promenade was delivered.

In the picture below, Jan is asking framing contractor Mike Carr exactly when the home will be framed. And here Jan enjoys a sniff of the sweet smell of fresh […]
Flower Power—Still Alive and Well in Woodstock

As we chatted, I glanced out a window and saw four neighbors and three dogs gathered near my patio. I rather abruptly ended the phone call, telling my family I needed to go outside and talk with some neighbors. Needed might seem like too strong […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day…
from Maples at the Sonatas–at the end of the rainbow. I wish I could say the rainbow ends right at my Home Sweet Abbey, but it doesn’t. The pot of gold is hidden in a neighbor’s home. Photo credit for this beautiful picture goes to my neighbor Sylvia.
A Bear for All Seasons
When Diana and Bob moved into their Portico, they couldn’t find just the right spot in their new home for the large stuffed bear they had brought with them. So their furry brown conversation piece moved to the entryway of our community clubhouse. I have to admit, the bear was rather intimidating at first, standing over five feet tall on his hind legs. Many of us were a little startled when we walked in the […]
