We struggled with that pic with our mom. Sister is on the right

Good morning.

They'd be lucky to have you, Skip.

Huzzah for peace and quiet, Kelly!

Long day today with the Resource Management Commission meeting tonight to top things off. Did most of my packing last night.

Good morning BBB friends.

Great photos Kelly.

Your neighborhood is certainly different from ours, Skip. Here they're desperate to get anyone to volunteer for the board. Anyone who steps up is elected by acclamation. I did five years, two as vice president, when we first moved in and haven't been to a meeting since.

Getting ready to head out for a hike. Gotta run.

Oh, and the 4 of us on our hoa board don't even meet up anymore, except for annual membership meeting in Nov lol. Its only us 4 anyway plus 2 more maybe show up,, of 75 lots. I'm going on 8 yrs on hoa board. 5 yrs as president. As are the other 3. Phft.its.a. joke. If anyone whines we just tell them they have to join board ....lol... then they go away ha! But, all 5 yrs I've collected 100% of the 150.00 assessments due ea lot. And the pond and entrance looks great. So whatever.

The lake hoa is looking to hire a full time office administrator. No thanks. Pay is like 15/hr. Its really bad there as far as whiners and folks doing whatever they want...

Morning BBB

We didn't join our HOA. It wasn't mandatory. We went to a couple of meetings before deciding and met with the president and asked questions. Mostly they just plant flowers at the entrance and host a Easter egg hunt and garage sale. When we asked about enforcing the rules for a house that had a shed in the front yard and a washer and dryer on the driveway for months they said yay we won't do anything. We decided they didn't need our $200. I did go help with the flower planting a time or two.

Ron's calf injury is healing well. He's not up for a beach walk but might head out our driveway and see what we can see. Today is Spanish class at the only place in town we have found with excellent beers.

Yesterday's shopping trip was a huge success. Found a place with soy sauce, diced tomatoes and peanut butter made with only peanuts and salt (not added sugar) the grain store wasn't open but at least I know where it is...will check back next time we are out. Plus saw a sporting goods store that looked promising. Shopping in Mexico is nothing like shopping in the US. Nothing is on Google maps and no one has a web presence. Hours are in Flux and there is never parking.

The ATM at sams wouldn't give us money and the parking lot at the one bank recommend was packed so will try again today.

Praise Gods we have NO HOA. We live in a lovely cul de sac with great neighbors. I will say though that an HOA would not have let our neighbor paint her house fire engine red and I’m not kidding. I’ll take another picture so you can all laugh!!

Thanks for the compliments.

If I can work from home Mary, I’d be interested in a job.
