That’s right I create a Labor Day menu, while it seems a bit like I’m overdoing it I think otherwise. Why?

I look forward to Labor Day weekend every year because I invite some close friends and neighbors over and we cook together! Everyone gets an item that’s required for the meal (the reason for the menu) and they come over to my apartment at the Estates at Tuscany Ridge. We then cook together and it’s really relaxing!

Afterward we “hang” by the pool and just enjoy the sun. It’s a great way to enjoy Labor Day Weekend? How do you enjoy your Labor Day Weekend?

We have put requests in the newsletter time & again…
We have written notes to specific buildings and residents…
We have written lease violation letters to specific residents…

Yet we STILL have a problem with DOG DOO all over the property because pet owner’s are NOT picking up after their dogs.  The Estates supplies the DogiPot Stations for disposal and even supplies/pays for the pick-up bags…  so why are some of our resident dog owners NOT doing their civic & neighborly duty of picking up after the poop?

Our only option going forward, is to aggressively impose a $25 fine on those residents that are caught violating the Pet Policy.  In addition, we will will pay a $50 reward to those residents that supply us proof of such violations.

No one should have to be subject to this unsanitary and disrespectful practice and we will make every effort to ensure that no one is any longer.

Yummy Crepes I’ve always been fond of crepes. From the beginning I’ve enjoyed those sweet crepes with chocolate, strawberries and ice cream.  Now that I’m a bit older I have realized that savory crepes are delicious just like sweet crepes! When I’m in the mood for crepes I make a whole meal out of it, dinner and dessert!

Want to know a great way to fill your stomachs? Try La Creperia Cafe! It has quickly become one of my favorites! Located off of 1729 E. 7Th Avenue, La Creperia takes the traditional crepe to the next level!

Over the past Twenty Two years, Chef Dinos has perfected the art of crepe making; Patrons stare in admiration, as he pours, twirls and flips the crepes. Using the freshest ingredients, which are then cooked to perfection, these crepes are a blend of a visual and delectable feast.
