Danita did a brilliant job of cooking ahead so we could eat home-cooked dinners during construction. Her cooking plus a few restaurant dinners took us up to Friday, which was the original estimated completion date. Unfortunately, it looks like we will have two more weeks of construction, which is currently at a standstill. We are waiting for the kitchen backsplash to be fabricated and installed. The biggest excitement was the party to decorate the clubhouse. Danita normally goes to this annual event and I usually stay home. This year, I attended so I could share in the pizza and cookies available to those who decorated. I even found a job I could do to help out.

Our biggest excitement was the delivery of shelf liners. There were two boxes. One was delivered to us Friday afternoon. The second was delivered to our neighbor about 10 PM Friday. In the delivery instructions, we ask the delivery persons to ring our doorbell, so we know the package is on our doorstep. They did not ring our doorbell for the afternoon delivery, but they did ring our neighbor’s doorbell Friday evening. Our neighbor was startled.

My other project last week was to switch our clubhouse internet service from Comcast to Verizon. The switch was triggered when Verizon notified us that they no longer support land line telephone service. We now have all our phones lines provided as part of the FIOS internet service. As a bonus, we saved money on the new arrangement.

I hope this finds everyone doing well.
