Crestview Manor Our Home


Yes Cretview Manor has been our home for the past ten years, and we have thoroughly enjoyed living here. It is a Co-op Housing so therefore the daily operations are looked after by a Board of Directors and Committee's who do an excellent job of keeping it well maintained.
This picture shows a bit of the design but I think Cal took it in order to have a picture of the flowering tree that has been so nice this spring.
Our apartment faces out the opposite direction and as you will see from the pictures we do have a very pleasant view.

Balcony View Pictures


Cal took these pictures from our balcony and of course all are golf course views, but are taken from slightly different angles.
They were taken about seven thirty in the evening so not many golfers can be seen.
In this picture there is a couple on the green and a golf cart up on the hill.

This is a NE view



This is looking east and its a pretty view in the morning. On occassion we see two or three water fountains going and usually can watch the ducks or geese.

Yes that is a railway track seen here. It is only a side rail line so we don't see alot of trains, but its another view for us when they do pass.






This view is more of a SE angle and although it is much the same as the one above this shows the walking trail. So again another interesting view we have of seeing people strolling by, it may be parents with children, some walking their dog, and leisurely bike rides by all ages.
They tell us the winter view has its beauty as well, but we will have to wait till then to see.

Move Completed

Our move has now finally been completed and we have did the required cleaning of our vacated suite, the rugs will be cleaned soon and then it will be ready for the new residents.
We are feeling very much at home now and of course enjoying the view, which is much different than the parking lot view. Hopefully we will get a picture or two and post them for you.
We even have had our great granddaughter come by for a visit, so that was special. I am sure anyone reading this posting has already been keeping up to date on Lew and Kathy’s blog and seeing all the pictures as well. Brett has a great collection of pictures posted.
So there should be no one doubting the fact that Chloe is a loved little girl and a special addition to our family of which we can claim.
I really haven’t minded the fact that I am now a "great grandmother" that was until I read this quote in the book "Chicken Soup" that I received for Mother’s day, and it says
" A friend of mine was asked how she liked having her first great grandchild. "It was wonderful," she replied, "until I suddenly realized that I was the mother of a grandfather." Sorry Lew, but I will get over it and go on enjoying being a GG.

Apartment Change

Yes we really tried to keep this under wraps, but when it was announced to the residents here at our Annual General Meeting on April 26, the news never made it to our kids, so that was a plus for us even though we know that they would have been here to lend a hand, but their plates are already full. It wasn't a major move, if so we would have been calling, but we did fine.
However the next move will likely be their obligation, so Lew and Kathy if you are really feeling left out that thought will give you something to look forward too.
Our apartment number is 309 on the same floor as we were, only closer to the elevator, we have a golf course view, so what more could we want.
