Mid August Update

OK...so the postings are few and far between, I apologise. This is what life is like in Regency Cove in the summertime. Life is slow during the heat of the day, and very few people are out. At night more adventurous souls wander out walking or on their bikes to exercise without the sunshine, but the humidity is still in the 90s. A few activities continue in the hall at night.

You Northerners are encouraged to leave comments down below, so we know what's up with you.

A few new folks have moved in. A few have moved out. Life goes on.

This weekend, on Sunday afternoon, there was some entertainment in the hall around the big screen TV and a handful of residents enjoyed some laughs together. We really should do that more often. Thanks, Peggy Saccente, for bringing this up!


Tonight we had a true potluck, with over 55 people sharing the bounty of chicken, beef, ham, and meatballs, and an unbelievable assortment of vegetables, salads, fruit plates, and desserts. A big Thank You goes out to the Yacht Club for providing the tablecloths, and also to the Friendship Club, for donating the coffee, cups, sugar, and even dessert plates. You club presidents are just so wonderful, and truely dedicated to the residents of Regency Cove.

It was great to hear one of the residents, the last through the buffet line, remark that rarely was there such an assortment of meats available at the end of the potluck line. Kudos to our residents! Our residents were very generous tonight with their delicious contributions to the potluck supper. I heard several comments about how nice it is to have a true potluck again.


After dinner, Linda Siddens spoke about her upcoming trip, and Friendship Club memberships which are now under her direction. We then celebrated June-July-August birthdays and anniversaries. Robby on Blvd 1, the harmonica man, stood up and serenaded the birthday folks on his harmonica with a soulful version of Happy Birthday. The mystery man is revealed!

Mary Willsey mentioned that Friendship Club dinners will begin again in October. Memberships and tickets will be sold. We will have another true potluck next month on the third Monday in September, just because we can. Many folks commented how great the food was tonight. If anyone has any ideas on entertainment, give me a call. (Ross in the directory) I think it would be nice to have some local talent playing for us.

The conclusion of the evening was the presentation of Ed Bedore's Internet Novelties. For the third time, Ed has accumulated a clever collection of funny videos that has thoroughly entertained the audience. It is so great to hear the audience's roars of laughter or the loud "oooh nooos" when an individual, usually a senior, makes contact with the ground in a way you and I never hope to duplicate. Such funny stuff!

Thanks to all to helped serve and clean up. Let's do this again on September 20th! Get to the Info Room and sign up!


The highlight of the day was tonight's sunset. We haven't had one of these for a lllooooonng time.

Hey, Regency Cove.. this one's for you...!!!! It's good to be Living In Paradise. Thank you, Lord.
