Thursday April 28th, 2011

Well - first time for everything!  We went golfing today in 97 degree temperature - teed off at 1 pm.  It was HOT, HOT!! It was the last time to golf before leaving for our tour and heading home.  We did have a nice breeze while golfing and ended up in the pool after so that was nice and refreshing.
We spent the morning in a meeting with the Planning Committee of the complex here.  In order to make any changes to your property, you have to submit an application and hopefully get approval.  We are planning to get rid of all the overgrown shrubbery in front of the house and replace it with a patio.  We are hoping to do this in the Fall but thought we would go through the process now so we can go ahead with it then.  Bob (the Builder) did such a good job with the diagram that it didn't take very long for the approval.  We just had to sit and wait over an hour before they got to us.

We are getting packed and ready to leave for Santa Barbara, California on Saturday.  There always seems to be a lot of little things to do before leaving a house for any length of time.  We found a very informative house sitter who checks the house every week.  He's full of info re painters, construction people, etc. etc. so it's always good to get recommendations from someone in the subdivision.

I've been checking the forecasted temperatures for the towns/locations we plan to visit for the next 2-3 weeks and there seems to be a lot of 40s, 45s and 50s listed.  I'm hoping the weather gets warmer but am taking my ski jacket along just in case.  I'm wondering if perhaps we should be doing this trip mid-summer!!  I'm sure we will hve fun anyway.
