Neighborhood News

First and foremost, I haven't blogged in a while because nothing is really going on. It is hot. CJ has had weekends off, so we've been spending time with family and friends. It is summer, and we have been busy. All this equals us not working around the house, or even spending much time here.

But, somethings have happened. I was elected as President of our homeowners' association. CJ and I have been getting involved in the neighborhood Crime and Drug Committee through the Lyndale Neighborhood Association. I'm going to start being involved in that association too.

As part of the Crime and Drug Committee, I've joined the Lyndale Walkers. They are a group that walks around the neighborhood with bright yellow hats and badges trying to deter crime. I haven't actually gone on any walks yet, but I'm excited to be involved.

Today, the neighbor's gas was turned off. They had to tear up lawn to turn it off because they couldn't get into the house.


Afterward, it didn't look as bad as we thought it might.


In the end, they installed this thing.

They told me what the thing was and what they were doing, but I didn't understand exactly. I was just glad they didn't take down the fence.
