Apartment Update

 I want to introduce you to
James.

James is the man who allows you down the street, when it's all clear.
He usually is stationed just outside our driveway, which happens to be the middle of the road.
Over the past six months we all have gotten to know him well.
He arrives at 6:30 A.M.
He is the last guy to go home, usually around 7:00 P.M.
A few times while eating dinner, we look out the window and there is James, still working.

James has it pretty good around here.
The neighborhood has
adopted him.
We bring him refreshening drinks during the heat of the day.
Warm cookies out of the oven.
Hot coffee early in the morning.
Hint: most of the workers like bananas.
Easy to eat and comes with it's own wrapper.

James is always good for a huge smile and a friendly wave.
Never forgetting our names, as he says, "Have a good day."

Come to find out, James is our neighbor!
He lives in a condo at the end of our street.
We couldn't have a better neighbor.

Looking down the street,
you can see the first building.
It's complete!
There's even a sign out front.


Look at the landscaping!
Hummmm...

It's an Open House!

The first tenants will move are moving in soon.
"Our" apartments will be finished around mid-November.

What an I going to do when they are completed?
What am I talking about!
They haven't started building the condos next door.

Finally, My Bags Are Unpacked - Lots of Laundry!

Tom and I just got back from the
most wonderful place in the world.
THE BEACH!

 
 Not just any beach,
Cannon Beach, Oregon!

We went to visit our grandchildren, and 
Kimmy & Mark.
They have been gone since the last week of September.
(remember the Bon Voyage party?) 

Tom and I missed the chatter and pitter-patter of little feet.
Here are some highlights of the past few days.
