IT WORKED I have pictures - part 1

I can't believe it. It worked. I just figured it out. It's just words and gobble-de-gook until it gets published. This first one is my building from the front. Notice the minute attention to detail as I have carefully replaced the real name with the methodological name of "The Home." That funky black and yellow speed bump is the counties response to a request to add a speed bump to slow the drives down and they fly past. They did add the speed bump, but it's in the loading zone of our property. The street is too the left. The only ones being slowed down are us.

We have this beautiful wrap around porch at the front and side of our building. In the summer there is often a group sitting at the front as it is about the only shady place on the property. We also do evening BBQ's in front of out building - also for the shade. Every Thursday from Memorial Day to Labor Day we BBQ’s in front of out building (BYOM - Bring your own meat). We start the season with a donated ribs BBQ and continue whatever people bring. Usually that means hot dogs and some hamburgers. On a warm summers night you can always find a group sitting and enjoying the evening together. Doesn't that sound lovely. Doesn't it sound like the most wonderful place in the world to live?

This is the two buildings together. The one on the right is the larger building. We have 18 apartments and they have 44. They also have the commons rooms, the pool table, the library, the fireplaces, the grand piano, the living room — HEY we was robbed.

I'm excited that it worked and I can share the beauty of The Home. In the next blog I will take you inside my building and it you are real good, maybe I'll take you in my room. Of course that depends on me getting it cleaned up enough for the Better Homes and Gardens photographers can come and make it look like a palace.

This didn't turn out exactly as I expected. I was trying to add more photos and the layout bounced all over the place like a grasshopper during a plague. Every time I though I had it one photo would disappear. I will keep trying as soon as I get over my sore neck from looking at this computer. Just in case you didn't know, old people complain about aches and pains ALOT!
