 August  in  Texas  is  commonly  referred  to  as  “The  dog  days  of  Summer.”    Speaking  of  dogs,    recently  we  had  an  informative  and  positive  meeting  with  the   dog-owners  of  The  Stayton.    Those  of  us  who  are  dog-owners  

all  love  our  four-legged  friends.    At  the  same  time,  we  have  to  remember  that  not  everyone  is  a  dog-owner/lover.    The  dog  owners  agreed  that  keeping  their  pets  on  a  leash,  cleaning  up  after  their  pets,  and  not  allowing  pets  in  dining  and  common  areas  were  prudent  and                              understandable  policies.    I  appreciate   the  willingness  of  our  pet  owners  to  be                                  responsible  neighbors. Living  and  working  communally  is  a  great  social  experience,  but  there  can  be  things  that  we  sometimes  see  differently.    The  key  to  success  is  open,  honest,  and  respectful                                        dialogue,  much  like  a  family.    As  future   disagreements  arise,  let’s  remember  that  as  a  family  –  we  have  to  keep  the  dialogue  going. On  behalf  of  the  staff  here  at  The  Stayton,  thank  you  for  being  part  of  our  family.

Two  months  ago  I  posted  a  list  of  books  that  needed  to   be   returned   to   the   library.   As   of   now,   only   two  books  have  been  returned.  I  have  decided  this  is  a  lost  cause  and  I  need  to  accept  the  fact  that  the  books  are  not  going  to  be  returned.  What  puzzles  me  about  this  is,  those  who  read  mysteries  and  large  print  books   return  the  books  to  the  library.  The  problem  lies  with  those  who  read  fiction  and  nonfiction  and  not   returning  the  books  when  they  finish  reading  them.
