Items Concerning Tippecanoe Residents (Cont'd)
Our dumpster is for:
CLEAN, DRY PAPER ONLY
RAINY SEASON COMING
It is NOT for:
Household trash/garbage
Remodeling products
Dog poop, glass, aluminum or plastic
of any kind.
Any time you see standing
Water esp. ….drive VERY
SLOW
Through it to
NOT cause a wake!!
The cost of removing foreign and non-conforming
materials is too high. It affects the recycling operation and, therefore, reduces the amount the park
gets paid.

SWFTMD(Swiftmud) Update
Thursday golf is a go, with
tee times at 7:30am, please

Dick Kilbourn,
813-715-4035
Reminder everybody...although Patriot Flea market is closed till fall,
Plant City Flea market is still open
Wednesdays just off HWY 39.
******
Also the Drive –in theatrer in Dade
City has a small flea market weekends.
Get there early as they close early in
the summer
On April 27th, Al Burnett (our consultant) Chuck
Caro, Wanda Stevens and I went to the Swiftmud
office in Tampa to discuss with Claire Muirhead and
Bob Thompson the additional steps needed to be
taken by our park in order to try and regain our
expired Water Permit. Up to this point we have complied with all requests for information but since this is
being treated as a "new" permit, there are multiple
requirements. We have agreed that in order to
continue to comply with their requests we need to
have Al Burnett take on the task of completing a
"Variance/Waver" to prove to them that it would be a
hardship for Tippecanoe Village to either dig new
wells or tap into city water. We will post any updates
in the newsletter or on the "Tippecanoe Village" website as they are received.
Thank you and have a safe and happy summer !

Old Sayings Grandma used to say
Regarding a sloppily dressed woman - "She looks like an unmade bed"
My Grandma would say "work your paws and not your jaws". She would say this
when I was drying the dishes
Grandma said "you don't have to like everyone but you have to love them".

My wife's riding Lawn Mower is now for Sale
Here's the story. It's still hard to believe the way it turned out. My wife said she wanted a
riding lawn mower. She works all day and was always tired when she came home from
work. I thought that a riding lawn mower would help her get the yard work done quicker so
she would have more time for the chores inside. So, being the handy sort of guy that I am, I
made her a riding lawn mower.
I thought she would squeal with delight or something and give me a big hug. I even put a
light on it so she could work at night (see photo below), after she finishes putting away the
dinner dishes.
To this day I still can't understand why some women are so hard to please!!
P.S. I can see out of my left eye pretty good now
and should be able to leave the hospital sometime
next week!

My grandfather would always want us to eat with him when we visited. If we told him
we weren't hungry he would say, "Well, we need to go into the kitchen and at least rattle
the dishes." That was his way of getting us to at least eat a little snack.
