Penny and Ron Root celebrate 26 years of marriage this week. Happy anniversary, Ron and Penny!
Our great grader operator Tim Candelaria has moved on to greener pastures. We are very sorry to see him go, but we wish him all the best. It looked as though we were not going to be getting any grading done for a long time, but lo and behold! It seems we now have grading being done by a contractor. We’re not sure of all the details, but we strongly believe that the
unusually quick response by the county was due to our MAC representative Steve Reyes bringing the issue to the forefront. Thank you, Steve! As before, if you have any questions, compliments, requests or complaints about our graded roads,
call 760-367-9880.
Handy Hint: If you share your home with elderly and/or ailing loved ones, here are a few things you can do to make things easier. Paint the insides of kitchen cabinets white for better visibility, use risers to raise the seat level of sofas or chairs, use table lamps with a push-button switch on the base, replace small light switches with larger ones, replace round doorknobs with lever-style handles and leave open floor space under the bathroom sink to accommodate wheelchairs or
seats.
Today’s Thought: Bob, a 20-year-old pet goldfish underwent successful surgery at England’s Toll Barn Veterinary Centre to remove a tumor from his fin. During the procedure, the medical team kept him wet to prevent damaged scales and infused the water with an anesthetic.
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.
