Hello everyone,
With memorial day just around the corner, I hope that each of us take a few minutes to reflect over the past years. Our country's service men and women away from their families, and friends who fight for our freedom.
Throughout our lifetime, our armed forces have never let us down. They have given up their time, and all too often their lives for what they believe in. Some of us could certainly take a lesson from these brave men and women, some are barely older than our own children.
I hope that their constant battle stays in the hearts of all those here in Lexington Oaks as well as the rest of the country. We tend to delve into our own personal lives and forget about others and what conflicts they may be having.
Memorial day has different meanings I'm sure for all of us. The end of the school year, the beginning of summer, certainly down here the start of the hurricane season is one everyone's minds. Instead of complaining and tossing blame on others we should be thankful that we are alive, we have our families and friends close by, we have the ability to enjoy each day as it comes.
On this Memorial day let's show our patriotism. Raise your flags proudly. Let's show our support to our troops and rise above our personal opinions and views. Join together as a community, proud to be a part of Lexington Oaks, and proud to be an American.
I would like to wish everyone a very happy, and safe Memorial day weekend.
If you're wondering, what happened to most of this week's commentary I have included those I felt important at this time to include. The rest, I'm sorry to say, I for one as so many other residents are tired of the constant bickering and complaining that appears here on a weekly basis.
This forum is for our community. I understand there are issues that do arise. I also understand that a lot of people do not have any idea as to where to go when they have a complaint or comment. But this constant mud slinging is amazing. We are all adults here, and it is unbelievable to week after week, have someone berate another resident. I for one think it's appalling and feel that perhaps we all need to do some soul searching. Is this what you want your community email to be. Is this what you want your community to turn into. Neighbor against neighbor.
We have a nice community here in Lexington Oaks. It's not perfect, but with who, or what is. We all need to work together to bring our community together, to make this the type of community we are proud to live in. But it takes everyone to make an effort. I am sure I am going to get quite a few hate emails from this. Because that has been the norm. But before you send it out, take a moment to re-read what I've written here. We ask our children to do their best, we don't care what their grades are as long as they gave it their all. Have we as residents given our all? Have we exhausted all avenues before we've decided to make that callous remark?

Hi Beth -
Could you send this out ASAP? Thanks.
This would be more for the Northhampton residents that live along the pond across from Remington Village (I've already emailed the residents in Remington). It's been about three years since the last alligator was removed from the large pond behind our house, so needless to say, I was a little bit shocked to see one there this morning. I've already called to report it but just wanted everyone to be aware that this is the beginning of mating season and they are on the move - and may be a little more aggressive. Please advise your children and watch your dogs until they can get out here to remove it.
Thanks,
Charlene Lerch

A co-worker of mine has a family member that lives here in LO. She is looking to hire a cleaning person for them. Does anyone have anyone they could recommend? If so, please forward their information to me. Thanks,

Does anyone know of anyone who gives piano lessons in your home? My 12 year old daughter is interested in taking piano lessons.
Thank you!
