We are splitting time with my sister today. Her husband went in early and I am going in a while for an afternoon visit.

I had a chance this morning to go on one of the walking paths my sister told me about and I can really understand now why she loves this area. The path – actually trail – goes in different directions. The one I took was mostly by the small lake which also has part of the golf course on the other side. The houses along the lake are nicely landscaped as can be expected. The houses are across the paved path so don’t have direct access to the water, but a lovely view and about twenty steps from the back of the lots to the water. No swimming and no way to put a boat in, but there is catch and release fishing with numerous spots to comfortably fish from the bank. Only other joggers, walkers (to include dog walkers of course) and cyclists were out. The incredible amount of mature trees are a benefit except in the situation of the storms which as I mentioned recently wreaked havoc with massive tree falls and downed power lines for more than a week. There is still a lot to clear out and will probably take at least another week.
