Compliments Are Nice

Yesterday the Mister got a phone call from a resident of Higley Groves East. Apparently he walks regularly around the lake and he was wanting to report that some lights are burned out over there. Since they hadn't been replaced for several days, he thought perhaps the responsible party wasn't aware of the need. Of course, I've been waiting in great anticipation for several lights to go on (the Palm Circles at the corner of Higley and Elliot, the entry monuments to Higley Estates, etc.), and I'm discovering that these things don't happen all that quick. The Mister explained to him that Farm Bureau isn't actually the owner of the lake, nor responsible for its maintenance, and then the resident asked about the usage of the lake - which leads me to digress momentarily.

The Lake is technically owned by the Morrison Ranch Community Council, and provides the irrigation for some Morrison Ranch communities. Since neither Higley Groves East nor West are part of the Community Council or the Morrison Ranch HOA (they have individual HOAs), technically those residents are not supposed to use the lake. Our plan, of course, is for all the residents of Morrison Ranch to have access to all the amenities, current and future. We are hoping that someday the Higley Groves residents will be amenable to some sort of cross-agreements with the Council and Morrison Ranch HOA.

But back to Wayne, the resident making the phone call. He was quite complimentary about Morrison Ranch, and added that his brother visiting from back east declared it "perfect".

As he ended the phone call (thanks, Wayne!), the Mister found a couple of fellows waiting to speak with him; they live in the nearby Circle G development, and though they were there to discuss business, they too, were rather effusive in praise for the communities and the shopping center in Morrison Ranch.

Kind of a nice way to end the day.
