Though the age minimum to live at Gateway is 62 once in a while someone younger gets in and we all go crazy. How could you not fall in love with a resident's great-great-granddaughter??
Looking out my window I caught a peeping Tom!! Well, not really, just a guy from Comcast fixing some wires. Heck, I would question the sanity of anyone wanting to peep at Gateway residents!
Also and I don't why they are replacing the old doors with hurricane glass doors. The old doors have kept us all safe through all kinds of weather including hurricanes so I hope these will too.
Long story behind my Peter Max jacket. I bought it 50 years ago when I weighed 159 and a half pounds for 3 minutes, not to mention I was only 32 years old. I've kept it all these years in hopes that I would weigh 159 and a half pounds--nah! I knew/know that wouldn't happen but I just couldn't give it away.
An old man here (hi John--I'll see if he reads my posts!!) needed a jacket and as much as I hated to part with the 'artwork'--I haven't seen him wear it year but then he gets up early in the morning and is gone before I even think of waking up.
We do have another cold wave coming this week so maybe I'll spot John lookingt smart in my jacket!
Do you get surprised by neighborhood sights?

Adorable baby. I have been hibernating inside due to the cold outside. Tomorrow we are in the 70s and then I will go out to do some chores. I will be camera ready to catch any Christmas decor.

Not really but once in awhile, something pops up and surprises me.

Always surprised when the occasional emergency vehicle comes in to our community, wondering who has fallen or had a heart attack or worse.
