I would like to thank all involved with our home owners. The pool looks the best it has in years and the pool furniture looks great. Once again Thanks All Of You I have been here for 12 years my oldest child just graduated from Cass we move here we she was in first grade and there is always ups and downs no matter were you live. I will tell everyone that wants to know We picked a great place to raise our kids. I have nothing but great things to say about our neibors.
