Hi everyone,
I’d like to thank all of you who participated in our recent Summer BBQ party, I hope you had as much fun as we did!
A big thank-you as well to everyone who made use of the dumpster that we got in July. And a special shoutout to those who took the time to improve their homes following our spring inspections. Let’s continue working together to keep our community a clean, welcoming place to live!
RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT:
“What I Loved About Summer Growing Up”
“You know, our childhood was way different back then. We’d run around through the sprinkler and play in the streets until it got dark - there was so much freedom! Kids today go to a lot of camps, and their days are already mapped out for them. They’re always on their phones. I think they should be outside more. On weekends, since we lived in Bellevue near Lake Sammamish, we were always at the beach. When my daughter was little, we had a boat and would go water skiing - I even taught kids how to water ski!
Later on, my husband and I started going to Hawaii for two weeks every summer. That was such a treat!”
— Dee Good
“Growing up, my grandparents would take all of us siblings to a campground where we’d go fishing and spend special time together.
We lived in Wenatchee, so we’d also pick cherries — all four different kinds — right out of the orchard. I learned a lot working in the orchards, driving the tractor and everything. For a while, I really thought that’s what would end up doing.
As a parent, one of my favorite summer memories was a two-week trip to the Flintstone Village in Canada. We visited national parks along the way — and to this day, our kids still talk about that trip.
These days, we spend summer at our cabin on Lake Wenatchee. I even built a dock out there. It’s peaceful, and the little projects keep me busy.”

2. Eat Your Water

3. Set a Reminder
Forget to drink? Use an hourly phone or clock reminder. Mark times on a water bottle (ex. Drink by 10 AM”).
4. Keep Water Nearby: Accessibility makes a big difference!
Place a refillable bottle or cup next to the recliner or bed and everywhere in the house.
5. Drink a Little All Day
Sipping slowly all day is better than chugging water once or twice. 1 glass with every meal, 1 glass in the morning, 1 before bed, 1 during medication time
