Week-end

A special note this Friday: It was just one year ago that we all stood outside to watch the last launch of Discovery.  It was a sad moment and time sure has gotten away from us.....
*****************
The week-end has arrived and with it some beautiful weather.  The Village always has something to do besides using our beautiful pool.  Listen for those Owls or Sand hill cranes that visit us once in a while.

There is in the area, Art shows, flea markets and many theater presentations, Friday street dances & the fun beaches and of course we could all do a little yard work.

Take a stroll around the Village and see what some of our residents have been up to.
Have you been watching the weather up north?  Aren't we lucky to be here??  Enjoy our Village once again.
Many happy moments to you all.

whoops.....

We were told that another dog got out and decided to take a swim in our lake.  Nothing happened but we really are not sure what lives in these lakes.  This was the second little dog that was reported to jump in for a swim  and we sure wouldn't anything to happen to your little pets.  Watch out for them and don't let them take a swim in our other wise pretty lakes.  They really are for the fish and ducks....
