We have two residences and we definitely went to meetings to make our opinions known , others agreed and rules were changed to take away the majority of the power from board members.

That is why I love it on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska! I live on my five acres with no HOA, no one to tell me how to live, what I can build or how it has to look. BUT, I did have to laugh at some of your comments. I am glad you found some things to calm you down!<br /><br />Your Long arm table looked like how my apartments got when I was on the road all the time with the military, training deploying troops! I had to retire (after 36 years) and come to Alaska to regain my Sanity! Now I can have my peace and tranquility, and Quilt, Garden, Bake. AHHHH!<br /><br />Now where is my cocoa, so I can make a chocolate zucchini cake to take to work on Tuesday! I HATE Moving!<br /><br />Donna<br />in Rainy, Kasilof, AKDonna Endresenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161370395006714301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-18009030613433360602016-08-07T10:36:21.368-04:002016-08-07T10:36:21.368-04:00Gestapo barriers!

Maybe turn it into Uncle Buck and stick a raincoat over the barrier?

They seem to be doing their best to bring suburbia to the mountains which rather defeats the purpose of getting away to the mountains. Unfortunate that these few feel the need to destroy beautiful nature for all. I really feel for you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625072993099927005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2183157075184215152016-08-07T08:13:23.864-04:002016-08-07T08:13:23.864-04:00Why do stoopid people have to mess up what is stil...Why do stoopid people have to mess up what is still beautiful on this earth?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143611284824956619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-26044346695333204262016-08-07T08:01:37.810-04:002016-08-07T08:01:37.810-04:00Bonnie, this is so funny... not for you, of course...Bonnie, this is so funny... not for you, of course, because that is an UGLY deer head sitting on the electric gate thing.

Maybe the mountain has a bear or two which could pull off the tacky deer heads. If they had to put a deer, couldn't it be a whole deer statue not the hunting statue. Anyway, I have a peeve. I totally understand the reason for ads on blogs but I don't see why an ad has the right to block one of your photos. I am so tired of seeing that yearbook ad block every photo you post. I so appreciate all of yout time and effort to keep us informed and motivated. You are so giving of your talents, I don't see why any company has the right to block your photos.
