Tom forgot to mention that all the neighbors planted their chairs in the center of the cul-de-sac waiting for the shuttle to arrive with our neighbors at 8:30 last night. We do have a great neighborhood 16 homes on 2 cul-de-sacs. There is something always going on.
And yes Tom...you are a wise man to worry

We will only be gone for 5 days. The damage can't be too bad....Can it?

Well, Tom, it doesn't take that long to paint a house purple or, even worse, lime green. Have fun on your cruise. I might stop by and help your neighbors come up with an idea or two. ;-)

Tom!! Word on the street has it that because of your short 5 day vacation, your neighbors are calling on the help of villagers from the surrounding villages of Pennecamp and Tamarand Grove to help with the "Welcome Home" decorations when you return!!!

Maybe I should take the cruise around the world. This way the ornament police will have time to arrest everyone responsible for the unnecessary decorations before I arrive home.

If this was a practical joke by other neighbors, well, never mind.

When snowbird neighbors get phone books, POA, etc in their driveways during the summer I either remove the item or put it near the front door for their "watch" person to deal with.
Everybody needs neighbors like you 07. That picture is so upsetting!!

It looks like I'm in bg trouble. Maybe I should hire an armed guard to watch the place while I'm gone.

Gracie I got the email as well and I'm in charge of the doggie poop depot.
Folks, I'll be emailing you the drop off address very soon. Tom, have a great trip and be sure to have boots on when you return.
