New Neighbors and Worker Bees...

First thing this morning the show began.
It usually draws a crowd but this morning it was just Jim,
my trusty photographer in my time of need,
and Barry & Joey, of course. The crew, with a twitch of magic, eased this beautiful house into place.And, voila, it's done.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Barry & Joey!

One of the reasons no one else was there is that everybody is working.
Sherry & Karen are working in the rentals, painting the walls in soft pastels.Of course, proper painting techniques entail proper wall prep...and ceiling prep... and hair prep, right Karen?
Not quite sure what prep Sherry is working on...I know, directing.
And the Sandpiper Construction Boys were up on the roof of the shower house.
Gosh, they work hard!

We are so appreciative of all the hard work you all do. We will all benefit!

A quick report about this weekend's water volleyball. I sat under the gazebo on Sunday and watched 21 people playing our favorite game. Overheard conversations went something like this... "21 players! What are we gonna do when everyone comes back?" or "Let's lock the gates and not let the Winter people back in. They'll want to play!"

So if you can't get back in, well, that's why. No hard feelings.

Just try and keep us winter folks out! You better order razor wire for the top of the fence if thats your plan!

As Gov. Arnold says: "WE'LL BE BACK!"

When the plumbers showed up to work while our intrepid carpenters were busy working on the roof, one of the plumbers is reported to have said, "How OLD are you guys, anyway?"

That was quite a compliment, eh?
