🐝 Weekly Roundup - Issue No. 15

In partnership with

 Ho, Ho, Ho! 🎅 

If you know me, you know I’m not a holiday person, but…

Buckeye, you broke me! 🤣 

You’d have to be a real Scrooge to not catch the Christmas spirit around here! I mean, Christmas is everywhere!

As I write this, I have one ornament (a recent gift) hanging on our tree, so I am naturally curious about how someone gets their act together enough to pull off a magical light show like the subject of today’s feature! What fun I had meeting this incredible couple.

So, let’s get into it, 🐝 cause,

The more you know, the more you go!

IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW 🔎 

  • 🥶 Verrado Residents: The heater at the “play pool” (Center on Main) is broken so unless you’re a polar bear, avoid until it’s fixed. I’m told they should be receiving the part next week. The “Lap Pool” is heated and operational. The Heritage Pool is now being heated, until the “play pool” is repaired.

  •  🚂 The Safari Train at Wildlife World Zoo has been refurbished & is back on track! Even at my “advanced” age 😉, riding trains like this is one of my favorite things to do!

  • 🫶 Registration is now open for the next Helping One Woman event scheduled for 1/15/25 in Goodyear.

🦉 Only took a few steps out my door tonight for my walk when I heard the “hooo- hooo” and looked up to see this fella sitting on my neighbor’s roof.

Fun fact: It was on my Bucket List to see an owl in real life (outside of captivity). I had heard them several times in Orange County but never saw one until I moved to Buckeye!
