Views of the neighborhood – Seasonal Story Boards

~ John W. Howell

Today, we are going to the Lakeway Activity Center to view some of the seasonal storyboards.  There is a series of boards along the outdoor path of the activity center. Each board tells a story. Since there are 28 boards, there is not enough room for them all here. I’ve picked a representative sample. We are catered by Ezov Middle Eastern restaurant. Our entertainment is Human Nature,

  8. Loved reading all the histories! and that bus made me laugh. The menu is very tempting – I need a diet, so I will take the hummus and pita!

    Happy Christmas to everyone and every dog in your household!
