Promoting some old-fashioned hospitality and neighborly banter in Morrison Ranch

School Daze


Don't these two guys look like rock stars posing for an album cover? They are actually both off to college this year; the shaggy one in front is our number one son, and the guy with his arms folded is Bias For Action's number one son. Bias For Action is in Texas at this very moment getting him checked into Texas A&M, and The Mister and I will travel the short distance to ASU to help our guy get situated this morning. It's a time of mixed emotions for all of us; new beginnings, and Change with a capital "C" - and you remember that all humans are resistant to change. They are both very good kids and should do well in this new chapter of life.

Even though we don't have any kids attending elementary or high school, lots of our neighbors do; and so I'll remind all residents of Morrison Ranch that the school zone speed limits are now in full effect. It seems especially difficult to slow down on Elliot, but that school zone actually begins right before the canal and extends through the light at Greenfield. We've also had some calls from residents in Higley Estates about speeding, especially on Prairie as folks rush to Elliot. The HOA is in the process of replacing the stolen signs reminding drivers that children are at play and they need to drive slowly. It's an important message.
