Grinch that Stole Christmas
December 24, 2021
Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays) to everyone at Lake Forest Shores! May your holiday sparkle with joy, warmth and love, and may your wishes come true. Naughty or nice, Santa will be coming down your chimney with wonderful treats or a bag of coal. Actually, a bag of coal to help warm up them tired bones during the cold season doesn't sound too [...]
Holiday Shopping and more...
December 7, 2021
Where did 2021 go? Christmas is right around the corner, so make sure to get your shopping done early this year. I know there is a lot of talk about empty shelves or low inventory due to the supply chain crisis. Personally, I haven't seen anything to worry about; except that my Walmart location has been out of cream cheese for at least a week -- but that seems [...]
Grateful for Everyone
November 25, 2021
Who said, "What if today, we were grateful for everyone?" (Keep reading for the answer) It’s official, the holiday season is here! Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends and neighbors at Lake Forest Shores. Even though it seems like "beach" weather, the end of the year is right around the corner and of course, it is a time to celebrate with family and friends; and to enjoy [...]
A Boo-tiful Night
October 31, 2021
Once again, it is HALLOWEEN time! Become whoever / whatever you want without feeling self-conscious; utter freedom to get out of your comfort zone. Go out and enjoy yourselves by visiting a haunted house, or take the kids trick or treating to fill up their bags full of candies and goodies. If you plan on staying home, then get into the Halloween spirit by watching [...]
Yasss! Finally DONE!
September 5, 2021
It's time to celebrate by paying tribute to America's workforce! And with that in mind, it means taking some much needed time-off for relaxation to soak up the sun at the newly renovated Beach & Tennis Club, which is approx. 85% complete (the lagoon is still under construction). The pool(s) are accessible without reservation and I have a feeling it is going to be [...]
Celebrating the 4th of July
July 4, 2021
July 4, 1776 is a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation by severing its political connections with Great Britain; no longer under British rule due to the creation of unreasonable taxes by the British king. To simplify the past in its shortest amount of time, becoming an independent [...]
Hello, Sunny(er) Times?!
June 13, 2021
Summer is quickly approaching, so get ready for fun in the sun! It seems the economy is on the verge of reopening, schools will be fully operational by the fall 2021 term and the days of pre-pandemic traffic levels are almost non-existent. Of course, there will still be limitations for months to come; perhaps years. At this point, I'm really interested in knowing about the mask [...]
Marching Through 2021
March 21, 2021
It's time to smell the flowers, Spring is here! It reminds me of a saying that was told to me by a co-worker during my early years - "If you can make it past January and February, you'll March right through the rest of the year". To this day, it gives me hope that I'll make it through life's difficult moments each year. We left a year full of uncertainty, but still holding on for [...]
