The View From Your Window….
by Pat Dickerson

I have been thinking lately about the view from my windows as well as the beautiful view that we all have as we walk the streets and paths of our community. I think we are blessed to have a rolling landscape, wonderful trees, and marvelous flower beds and grass in the yards and in the islands of Summer Lakes and I want to personally thank everyone for the “eye candy” that I enjoy.

Having said that, I would like to ask that everyone be alert to any heretofore unnoticed items that could detract from our otherwise beautiful “view from our windows.” The covenants that we all agreed to follow when we bought our lots in Summer Lakes have only one purpose; to keep the sub-division neat and clean and orderly for all to enjoy. And, of course, to keep the value of our investments going up continually. I suggest that we all steel ourselves against the boredom sure to follow and dig out our copy of this infamous document and at least scan it to remind ourselves of our agreement for the betterment of all around us.

I know that I have some things that I need to spiffy up and I am guessing that some of you do also. Stuff like yard equipment left out within sight of neighbors and visitors; that left over material from a recent project or items that we will fix as soon as we have time; or even the travel/utility trailer, camper, or boat that stays away from the storage lot longer than need be.

Rosie and I are so very proud of where we live and thankful for the good neighbors that we have and we want to thank all of you for being here and being our neighbors.

Pat, couldn't agree more with your sentiments. If everyone 'cares' for the neighborhood by picking-up, cleaning-up and adhering to the rules, Summer Lakes will continue to be a charming home for us all.

I agree with what was said - but I can understand the hesitation to store items in the storage area given recent crime! The so called improvements have not yet been completed and do they not realize people can still go over the fence?
