WASN'T THERE AN RV PARK HERE SOMEWHERE??

Picture one you are standing on Cuatro looking West toward the Sawmill with Entrada on your right. Picture two is a pile of concrete slabs. You are looking Southwest at Aztec and Seis. (site 309 behind the tree and the trailer on 310)








They started construction on the second block of Patio Sites on Saturday. (We thought they were starting Monday.) They are moving right along. They will take the dirt down to grade, about 4 inches, relocate the water, sewer, and cable and stake out 2 or 3 sites by Tuesday morning when Chuck flies in from CA to give the OK on the angle of the sites. There are patio tables and benches on 260, red rock on site 252, and dirt on another lot and truck loads over in storage at FHE. It will be on to concrete, trees, and patio walls. I will keep you up to date as progress is made.


PS Denise & Lew: This is a visual of what Betty was trying to explain to you.

They just moved to a house that their son Daniel had made handicapped accessible. Liz golfed one day with June. I'm sure they'd love to hear from anyone. Thanks for your friendships toward them.

HOT! HOT! JOB

Repairs are also going on on the roof. Just imagine the Arizona heat and then the "WHITE" roof. Tom Brown a temp worker was on the roof everyday last week. The whole West side of the roof has been patched and Elastic coated. Next week or the next we will start on the East side of the roof.

SAUNDRA ADDING MORE ARIZONA COLOR

Things are changing all over the Village. The clearing work is wrapped up in the Uno Wash. The paint is going up in rooms AB & C. Tile was added to the back splash of the sink in room C, Cactus Room. Irma & Jesus took the wall paper off the wall behind the bullentin boards so that it could be painted also. So far the vote is still not in on if it is liked or not. The color behind the easels is Celery Ice.

WASH CLEANING BEHIND UNO

Two temp workers, have been working for over 2 weeks to clean the wash between Uno and Sunquist Apartments. The wash has been building up over the last couple of years and with the construction of the wall last year debris has been left in the wash that had the potential of impeding the flow of rain water and creating a fire hazard. The green trees look nice and cool and relaxing but remember this is AZ and the temperatures have been a 100 or close to, so it's like a sauna.

MAY 20th Coffee & Donuts

More Info On Phone Numbers/Gas Boycott

Re: Google Search with phone numbers.

Windows Live Search will also give the name and address of a phone number typed into the Search window. I did not see any link to opt out. They also said the number was associated with Ashburn, VA, Puerto Rico and that 520 was the Postal Code for the State of Iowa. Information flows like water.

Passing it on, tell your friends.

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007Don't pump gas on MAY 15thIn April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gasprices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station inprotest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network,and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companiespockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for atleast one day.If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) resend this to all yourcontact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
