WYLDEWOOD
We are back after a delightful summer in Indiana. We were able to see old friends, spend time with family, and enjoy the local golf courses. While gone from Wyldewood several unexpected but predicted guests showed up. First, some unnamed tropical storms rumbled in the Gulf but then Helene showed up with not as much baggage as expected to our area but still very uncomfortable (scary). The sheets were changed, the yard cleaned up and then surprise surprise Milton showed up two weeks later. Here at Cross Creek the damage was minimal, but other communities in the state were as devastated as Fort Myers Beach was two years ago. As I write this Raphael lurked out in the gulf, but decided not to bother us.
Our official social calendar has not yet come out but expected is the usual Monday evening get-togethers, a little bingo and perhaps some unexpected celebrations will be held. Neighbors are starting to appear, perhaps a little slower than in other years, but it’s still early November. When this is read, we may need names tags to remember everyone, especially our newest residents.
So, I kinda got used to reading newspapers online, (South Bend Tribune, The News Press, and some others), but now the Courier has gone digital. Our stories are now ones and zeros. No more newspaper to take to the recycling bins, but now if we move, how will we pack our dishes, and how are we going to wrap fish after they are caught? Dilemmas…
