Our dumpster is for:

CLEAN, DRY PAPER ONLY

It is NOT for:

Household trash/garbage

Remodeling products

Dog poop, glass, aluminum or plastic of any kind.

The cost of removing foreign and non-conforming materials is too high. It affects the recycling opera-

tion and, therefore, reduces the amount the park gets paid.

THANK YOU (in advance)

SWFTMD(Swiftmud) Update

On April 27th, Al Burnett (our consultant) Chuck Caro, Wanda Stevens and I went to the Swiftmud

office in Tampa to discuss with Claire Muirhead and Bob Thompson the additional steps needed to be

taken by our park in order to try and regain our expired Water Permit. Up to this point we have com-plied with all requests for information but since this is

being treated as a "new" permit, there are multiple requirements. We have agreed that in order to

continue to comply with their requests we need to have Al Burnett take on the task of completing a

"Variance/Waver" to prove to them that it would be a hardship for Tippecanoe Village to either dig new

wells or tap into city water. We will post any updates in the newsletter or on the "Tippecanoe Village" web-

site as they are received.

Thank you and have a safe and happy summer !

Beth Caro/President TVHOA Board

Old Sayings Grandma used to say

Regarding a sloppily dressed woman - "She looks like an unmade bed"

My Grandma would say "work your paws and not your jaws". She would say this when I was drying the dishes

Grandma said "you don't have to like everyone but you have to love them".

My wife's riding Lawn Mower is now for Sale

Here's the story. It's still hard to believe the way it turned out. My wife said she wanted a riding lawn mower. She works all day and was always tired when she came home from work. I thought that a riding lawn mower would help her get the yard work done quicker so she would have more time for the chores inside. So, being the handy sort of guy that I am, I made her a riding lawn mower. I thought she would squeal with delight or something and give me a big hug. I even put a light on it so she could work at night (see photo below), after she finishes putting away the dinner dishes.

To this day I still can't understand why some wom-en are so hard to please!!

P.S. I can see out of my left eye pretty good now

and should be able to leave the hospital sometime next week!

My grandfather would always want us to eat with him when we visited. If we told him we weren't hungry he would say, "Well, we need to go into the kitchen and at least rattle the dishes." That was his way of getting us to at least eat a little snack.
