Cascade Lakes Residents

As many of you know, Arthur and I have been taking care of my elderly parents around the clock. It’s not just a full-time job; it’s actually much more than a full-time job, and naturally, it’s getting more labor intensive as time moves forward. And truth be told, I’m utterly exhausted.

That being said, I need to prioritize my time and step away from nonessential things that take huge chunks of time which I just don’t have.

So, while I know most of you will greatly miss my synopses and commentaries, I hope you understand that I have to put family first.

Thank you so much for all your support, which I appreciate more than you know.

Instead, I will present from time to time what I call “CL-Updates” which is short for Cascade Lakes Updates and is pronounced “clupdates” for short. It will be a lot less time consuming.

So those of you who like to break the rules and whose mindset is “while the cat’s away, the mice will play” might want to think twice about what you do going forward.

Cheerio, and until we meet again,

Your faithful scribe,

Vicki Roberts
