“FOR THE RESIDENTS, BY THE RESIDENTS”
Happy Labor Day September 2013
It feels like Fall ……….Somewhere
Fall will be here soon, although here in Florida it’s
hard to tell. You’re going to have to wait until about
the third week of October before the daily high
temperatures drop to the low 80s. The folks at the
Florida climate center say Fall happens when the
daily low temperatures drop below 60 degrees and
stay there. In the Tampa Bay area that doesn’t usually
Happen until you’re eyeing turkey for Thanksgiving.
You know its fall in Florida when------
You put away your light green bathing suit in
favor of your brown one.
You can roll down the windows in your car
and not run the risk of melting
You can plant things without them withering
immediately
The stores put out the winter holiday
decorations.
Everywhere you turn there is some sort of
festival celebrating art, food, wine, crafts,
history, cars, gourds etc.
Although we don’t get the rainbow of falling
Leaves that other states do, we do see a lot
of acorns and random other seedlings.
Hey, that’s less raking for us.
Time to Celebrate!
To honor workers far and near
Our nation passed a bill
To grant all men a day of rest
A Sabbath—if you will!
Much praise is due our labor force
For each achievement made
Who’ve furthered the economy
Our country’s growth and trade.
It’s also a three day weekend’n
The last chance to bask in the warm sunshine,
Enjoy the poolside and just have a great time
With friends and family with bbqs, parades and picnics.
Chill out this Labor Day with friends, family,
Associates and loved ones and wish’em a
Fun-tas-tic Labor Day weekend!

WELCOME BACK
WOW!!!!! It is hard to believe that Labor Day weekend is nearing and
summer is quickly coming to an end. It seems like just last week that the
season was just beginning and the snowbirds were leaving.
I hope it has been a good and healthy summer season for all of you. It has been a good
summer here at Southfork and now, in just a few short weeks, most of the snowbirds will be
back and many of the activities and meetings will be starting again.
FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN!!!!!!
September 22nd is the first day of autumn but here in Florida it is like any other day of the
year. Up North you are already thinking of cold weather, snow and ice and we here in
Florida can only go by the news media on what is happening and not missing the cold but we
sure do miss the fall colors.
So to all of us here in Florida, relax and enjoy with no worries about shovels or freezing
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT? (Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds) Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's. A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady! Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't work hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money. When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.' They don't say, 'Hurry up.' Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums out. Grandparents don't have to be smart. They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?' When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again. Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us. They know we should have a snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad. GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM! It's funny when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog. Send this to other grandparents, almost grandparents, or heck, send it to everyone. It will make their day.
