the back nine - Part 2 “So, if you’re not on the back nine yet, let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, what- ever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don’t put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you’re Larry Wonderling on the back nine or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life....so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!” “Life” is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY! HAVE A GREAT DAY! Remember ‘It is health that is real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver.’ LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS:  
 *Your kids are becoming you, but your grandchildren are perfect! 
 *Going out is good. Coming home is better! 
 *You forget names. But it’s OK be- cause some people forgot they even knew you! 
 *You real- ize you’re never going to be really good at anything like golf. 
 *The things you used to care to do, you aren’t as inter- ested in anymore, but you really don’t care that you aren’t as interested. 
 *You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV ‘ON’ than in bed. It’s called ‘pre-sleep.’ *You miss the days when everything worked with just an ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ switch. 
 *You tend to use more four letter words. ‘What?’ ‘When?’ 
 *You notice everything they sell in stores is ‘sleeveless’!!! *What used to be freckles are now liver spots.  
 *Every- body whispers.  
 *You have three sizes of clothes in your closet, two of which you will never wear. 
 *But old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!  
 *Stay well, ‘OLD FRIEND!’ Send this on to other ‘Old Friends!’ and let them laugh in AGREE- MENT!!! *It’s Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived. 
 TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN; YET THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.” Although the author is unknown, I needed to share his words with all of you. – Larry Wonderling, Ph.D. Email: [email protected] Update from the Beautification Committee, Amy Bentley We have completed and posted the survey so the real work now begins. The mission of the Beautification Committee is to have a coalition of neighbors working together as a voluntary group to achieve a higher qual- ity of life and increasing property values. Our goals are defined by the survey and we pledge to work on all attainable ideas whether we individu- ally support those ideas or not. What projects are realized will be left up to a democratic vote on the annual bal- lot. Expect to see a whole menu of items ranging from CC&R amendments to actual “shovel in the ground” enhancement projects. We are an association of ap- proximately 1,300 paying members so the sheer size of our community allows us to very affordably sculpt our neighborhood into one of the most desirable places to live and enjoy the benefits or our masterplan. In order to reach our goal of several menu items on the ballot, it is going to take a team of individuals work- ing in subcommittees to do the research so we bring forth correctly written CC&R amendments for the bal- lot. We also need people with finance and bidding skills so any projects that cost money are well researched and forecasted on the cost of build as well as the cost to maintain. Since there is a mountain of work to be done, I have reserved the POA building for every Mon- day until Sept 16 with the exception of Aug. 20. The meetings are open to every resident and I hope that we fill the building. I have also reserved and paid for out of my own pocket an ad in the newsletter each month. This will help residents who don’t have internet keep up to date on developments. Next, I have purchased with my own funds a webpage PCCBeautification.Org This webpage will keep residents up to date on our mission as well as act as a communication channel so we get input from as many residents as possible. Lastly, I have signed up for an email address for correspondence. That address is [email protected] Please join me as we move forward on many projects to achieve a higher quality of life and increase our property values. I really need everybody’s help and input. pccnews  August 2018  7
