I Think the Lazy Summer Has Started :=)

Every year in this part of the country the weather's the same.. One minute is winter and hailing and the next minute it's summer.. With no air conditioning, the humidity gets sticky, but its been great lately.. Love it!!
We've been taking advantage of the use we're allowed at our new community.. We were given a code the day we signed our lot agreement and can use all their facilities.. Been to the pool a few times and starting the know some people there.. It's fun.. I'm sure thats their idea.. get used to the place, so you're willing to accept any offer to get in!!
Last Tuesday we took our grandson.. limited hours for kids.. which is fine by me.. 11-1 and 4-5... He loved it.. there were several other little grandkids, so they all had a blast :=).. We went over yesterday for a few hours, met more neighbors who said we must come to wine and cheese Friday ($2/pp and byob!) and Marguerita Monday is a must!! Hmmmmm!!! see a pattern here :=)
From there we went to Chris' t-ball game, then to our favorite hang-out for beer and snacks:=)
It's the Cabana Bar.. a huge outdoor facility with bars, sandy lounge areas, waterfall, and palm trees.. Heaven in the summer.. Its attached to the restaurant I used to hostess, so we do know most of the kids.. So many come back year after year for summer work as they graduate from 16 year-old hostesses and bus boys to servers by the time they graduate from college.. So great to see them grow and we love seeing each other every year... It's also literally 2 minutes from home.. when we move it won't be as convenient.. long ride home at 1 am :=(
Our house showings have been slow, but heard its slow all over.. Schools just getting out, graduations, lots going on now..
Since the horrid rain and hail storm last Tuesday kept agents away, we're having another tour this week.. Monday just for all the agents at our listing agency (they get more commission if they sell an in-house listing), so interest is usually pretty good.. Then Tues, again agents from other agencies..
Still no sign at the bottom of the hill.. Agency is balking at putting one down there cause it's not our property, but we still have the right-of-way.. If they don't do it, its just more paperwork to get the neighbors to sign.. This whole process is like pulling teeth!!
Mentally we're finished sprucing up the place.. As we say to each other all the time "it is what it is!!"
So, gonna sit back and enjoy the summer...
