Our Labor Day Menu!

That’s right I create a Labor Day menu, while it seems a bit like I’m overdoing it I think otherwise. Why?

I look forward to Labor Day weekend every year because I invite some close friends and neighbors over and we cook together! Everyone gets an item that’s required for the meal (the reason for the menu) and they come over to my apartment at the Estates at Tuscany Ridge. We then cook together and it’s really relaxing!

Afterward we “hang” by the pool and just enjoy the sun. It’s a great way to enjoy Labor Day Weekend? How do you enjoy your Labor Day Weekend?

Here’s our menu for this year’s Labor Day!

Appetizer
Baked Caprese Salad

Entree
Southwest Turkey Burgers

Dessert
Cranberry Granita

Dog Doo Dilemma…

We have put requests in the newsletter time & again…
We have written notes to specific buildings and residents…
We have written lease violation letters to specific residents…

Yet we STILL have a problem with DOG DOO all over the property because pet owner’s are NOT picking up after their dogs.  The Estates supplies the DogiPot Stations for disposal and even supplies/pays for the pick-up bags…  so why are some of our resident dog owners NOT doing their civic & neighborly duty of picking up after the poop?

Our only option going forward, is to aggressively impose a $25 fine on those residents that are caught violating the Pet Policy.  In addition, we will will pay a $50 reward to those residents that supply us proof of such violations.

No one should have to be subject to this unsanitary and disrespectful practice and we will make every effort to ensure that no one is any longer.

Take A Walk…

Doctors and people alike always tell you to get 2 and  a half hours of activity weekly. we all know it’s good for us but do we always listen? No, we have excuses or other things on our priority list.

Stop all the excuses and make yourself a priority! You don’t have to join a gym to get the exercise you need. The Estates at Tuscany Ridge has a club-class fitness salon and gorgeously landscaped grounds with paved walk ways! Get your exercise here.

Personally I don’t enjoy treadmills, so I walk/run around the community as my cardio. I then head into the fitness salon and finish my exercise routine there.  I’ve created a great habit for myself and I get the chance to do it in my community.

Your Outdoor Scene…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your outdoor space at The Estates at Tuscany Ridge should be treated like another room. You can decorate it like you want and creat any atmosphere that you please but remember this, add candles!

Adding candles to your outdoor space at the Estates at Tuscany Ridge really brings everything in together. At night you can experience the glow that candles give off and it’s a great piece to talk about with guests!

Your candles can take on any style you wish to create for your outdoor space of your apartment; fun, classic, traditional, or romantic.  What will you choose?

When it comes to search engines I’m an avid user of Google. I’m loyal really, mostly because Google is very dependable and I love the themes the logo gets on certain days. Of course there are different search engines out there, you’ve got the old favorite Yahoo, and the newest addition to the family, Bing. What do you use when you search for things?
