07/06/26 16:44: Homely: I last looked at this one in very early spring. It's really lovely now that the flora have all leafed out!
07/06/26 16:40: Homely: Same here today! Lots of folks sitting in and around the pool! I'll meet you there with the margaritas, N Q!
07/06/26 16:39: Homely: Oh, N Q, the insurance and roofing debacle is alive and well here, too. Scammers went through and made false claims that roofs had been damaged by hail and people got their roofs replaced for free. Then the insurance companies figured out what was going on. Now they have jacked up everyone's insurance rates if you have a roof over 10 years of age (mine went up $500 per month!) and nobody can get coverage for damages at all any more. We are all having to replace the roofs at our own expense. It's awful. Between the insurance and the cost of the roofing, some people are having to evaluate whether they can even keep their houses (lots of retirees around here), but they may not pass inspection and/or be insurable due to the ages of the roofs. It's an awful catch 22.
07/06/26 16:35: Homely: Love the twin dining tables - one inside, one outside. In my French class we were learning about French dinner customs. I can really envision the courses of food, the conversation, and the lovely long evenings they must have together here!
07/04/26 17:25: N Q: Lots of people here celebrating today. I'm thinking that it would be fun living here with this celebration right outside your door.
07/01/26 22:35: N Q: It looks like they put a sign on the house, it's an antique store.
06/26/26 15:00: N Q: They must be getting ready for their Zebrawoods festival, They've added tropical trees and grass on one side of the pool along with some plastic covered areas that I bet they plan to add sand to. I also see a zebra painted SUV parked there. I wonder how long the festival lasts for.
