A MESSAGE FROM MARY
![3DNic=](3D"News1008Final_files/image018.jpg")
Things have been much quieter this =
month
and I have enjoyed some more time with the grandsons. The youngest, Nick will be two on =
the 18th
of this month and is getting so grown up.&=
nbsp;
He continues to try to keep up with his older brother and is talking
more and more.
My first week of two half-days went very well and I am=
sorry
to say, I will be babysitting for the boys and will miss Tuesday the 29
By the time you read this, most of the work on the new boilers in the 45 building will be done and when the weather turns cold we = will be able to turn the heat on. Because we had to drain the system of all the water it may take us a= few days to get all the air out of the lines, but I know it will not take any longer than that. The leak has been fixed and air will not be entering the system any longer on a daily bases (which had caused no-heat calls and the pipes to bang). When we are done with the 45 building, we will be doing some repair work in the 55 building to make sure that building up and running fi= ne when the weather turns cold.
Lee and I are so sorry we were rained out on the first= star party night and than it was overcast for the second night. We tried to see the moons of Jupit= er, but it was so overcast, that you could only see the planet. Let’s hope we can get out th= ere yet this fall to watch the stars and learn something new soon.
God Bless and have a great month! Mar=

YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR OWN NEIGHBORS!
We are renting apartments as people leave but we would rather have YOU choose your own “pre-qualified” neighbor rather than us! That way, you won= 217;t have to be introduced!
We will have a 2BR facing north available and a 1BR fa= cing south (on Nov. 1). The north facing units are nice because air conditioning bills are less in the summer and, although heating bills are more expensive, the heat is included in the rent.
Choosing Your Own Neighbors is Easy! Just give George the name and =
number
of someone you think might be looking for a nice apartment. That’s all there is to it.
Something for the funny bone
Adam and Eve had the perfect marriage. He didn’t have to hear about= all the men she could have married and she didn’t have to hear about how = well his mother cooked!
You’re no longer a kid when…..
- Driving a car doesn’t always sound like fun.
- You have friends w= ho have kids.
- Your parents’= ; jokes are now funny.
- Naps are good.
- When things go wro= ng, you can’t just yell, “Do-over!”
- You want clothes f= or Christmas.
- You look in the surveillance camera monitor at the convenience store, wondering who th= at guy is at the counter with the bald spot, and then you realize it is a shot of you from behind.
A PRAYER FOR THOSE GROWING OLD
Submitted by Phillis Ferguson (#327)
Lord, Thou knowest th=
at I am
growwing older.
Keep me from becoming
talkative and possessed with the idea that I must express myself on every
subject.
Release me from the c=
raving
to straighten out everyone's affairs.
Keep me from the reci=
tal of
endless detail. Give me wings to get to the point.
Seal my lips when I am
inclined to tell of my aches and pains. They are increasing with the years =
and
my love to speak of them grows sweeter as time goes by.
Teach me the glorious=
lesson
that, occasionally . . . I may be wrong.
Make me thoughtful bu=
t not
nosey; helpful but not bossy.
With my vast store of=
wisdom
and experience it does seem a pity not to use it all. But Thou knowest, Lor=
d,
that I want to still have a few friends at the end.
Do you have something you would like to share with the rest of our
little community? Give an=
ything
you like to George or email directly to Lee at LeeSail@aol.com. Examples might be prayers, poems, =
jokes,
cartoons, recipes, a personal story, someone you think should be honored, a
political viewpoint, etc.
