Good FOGGY Morning here in PURE MICHIGAN. You can tell FALL is creeping it's way in when you feel that cool, foggy feeling when getting up these mornings. Enjoy each morning, noon and evening as much as possible folks.........for some of us we know EXACTLY WHAT'S COMING SOON! 
Karen: Sure hope the board meeting went well for you and the rest. HOLD OFF on getting a MANAGEMENT TEAM to take over at ALL COSTS! They're horrible and DRAIN the treasury big time. We had issue of nobody wanting to be on our silly NON-Official HOA here in our sub. After years (20yrs) of asking people to set up and take over the 2 or 3 positions, mainly treasures and president, those people handed over the collection of funds and management to a company. Well, the SH*T hit the fan when that happened because the new management company made up a budget and HIKED UP the voluntary dues to double what it was. And that money was basically going to them as part of their fee. After 1 year of trying to get rid of that management company and it's THREATS to homeowners who never paid the HOA fees and were slapped with thousands of dollars to pay right away or be handed over to a collection company we got 4 people to take over the HOA operations.
The nicest thing that came out of that horrible mess was that we got our STREETS CLEANED from SNOW on the 1st day of a snowfall instead of having to be at the mercy of the township that put subdivision as a last priority removal. The joy of having NO RUTS in the street to maneuver around was a blessing!
So tell the little old complainer lady that her HOA dues would most likely go up 100% if the care of the properties was turned over to a management company. They are thieves waiting for your money BIG TIME. She's upset because her plant wasn't trimmed to her specks. Tell her to trim it herself next time and see how hard of a job it is to make it perfect. LOL
I need to get off of here and head into the kitchen and start boiling some water to pop those peaches in and then remove the skins and slice and package them. Later after they get frozen I'll be able to use my handy dandy FoodSaver vacuum machine to suck out all the air and seal them for whenever we want FRESH PEACHES in the middle of Winter. YUM.
While I was downstairs looking for some canning jars for a small batch of refrigerator pickles I made I found a SURPRISE...........6 jelly jars filled and sealed with Peach JAM! Surprise Surprise. And about 7 tiny tiny jars of Cowboy Candy. (that's the Jalapeño peppery spread) YUM to both finds.'
LEE & Karen ... I hope you both got a better sleep last night. Karen, I love a harder bed. They seem to break down quick enough on their own, so I'm sure yours will be a tad softer for you soon!
Lee I just hope you system can give you the rest you need at night. I know I haven't been able to sleep since my surgery and radiation treatments and all the dam pills I take. It's a horrible thing not to get 7-8 hours of PEACEFUL SLEEP. I found myself on the couch this morning! Hate when I don't make it to the bed. But at least I did sleep and feel good this morning. You might be a candidate for one of those SLEEP CLINICS I see all over the place around here. My doctor has suggested that for me many times and I just fluff it off. I think I would OVERWORK their machines with all my tossing and turning. Ha ha
You all have a wonderful TUESDAY/ Be SAFE and I'll be back later.
