LOOKING
Because of the anticipated sale of the unit she rents, S. B. is looking to rent an E or F model in the HOA. If you expect a vacancy in the next 3 to 4 months, call her.
DUCT REMINDER
Individuals who've had their dryer ducts cleaned out and seen for themselves the lint buildup urge others in the HOA to call a service man who specializes in this cleaning: i.e., San Diego Air Duct Cleaning, 276- 4356.
DOGS YOU'LL MEET
Sweet Pea, a 3-year old Labrador, has been a VM resident for the past year. She is described as the family's "shadow". And though she has come to accept being alone while family members work, Sweet Pea expects them to be at her beck and call otherwise. When they're not, she's been known to chew a book or two. And the family is exploring the possibility of enrolling her in a separation anxiety study.
MORE HISTORY
The McIntires, who've live in Villa Monterey since April of '74, offer the following memories. First, the home pictured in the MESSAGE was based on a picture they supplied. As well, the new construction disrupted the life of "many creepy crawling critters." By way of example, the McIntires recall a tarantula slowly making its "hairy way" across the living room floor late one Saturday. Walking through the new construction, Dick observed that it was Lowenbrau beer that most of the construction men drank. His conclusion: we were built on good German beer. He also remembers the "hub-bub" over the kids playing baseball in the green belt hear the pool. There was a concern that the spindly eucalyptus trees would be destroyed if they were used as bases. And though some were, the strong survived. The McIntires conclude that the last thing on the minds of those early residents was paying for new tile roofs.
