She and her husband and children have lived on  Gatlinburg Drive for about 5 years. She saw the Get Together notice on the <a href=\"mailto:gna@yahoogroups.com\">gna@yahoogroups.com<\/a> list.<\/p>\n<p>With Vic and Barbara, we had a great conversation about all sorts of  topics. My apologies for just summarizing the high points. <!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cora used to work at <a title=\"go to home depot\" href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\" target=\"_blank\">Home Depot<\/a> and recommends going to their <em>garden department<\/em> and asking for broken bags of mulch or dirt. Often they will sell  them to you at half-price, especially after bad weather gets everything wet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We all need to follow the <a title=\"go to congress link\" href=\"http:\/\/health.burgess.house.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">congressional debates about new health care<\/a> insurance laws. We all need protection from illness and accidents and  the costs are zooming ever higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We have some great garage sales in Gatlinburg and it pays (saves $$) to get out  and walk on Saturday morning!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are bothered by your neighbor&#8217;s noisy dog continuous barking,  you should talk to them but don&#8217;t let it poison your feelings  about living in Gatlinburg. We heard a story about someone who moved away to escape a noisy dog and their owner. Try to get help to mediate and find solutions. Calling the Pflugerville Police makes your complaint &#8220;official&#8221; and they will explain the City ordinances to you and your neighbor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Gilliland Creek water looks clean, but it still has high counts of  bacteria so kids or pets shouldn&#8217;t play in there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Clay requested somebody from Gatlinburg attend the July 9 city  comprehensive plan meeting at 6 PM at Pfluger Hall. You can watch video  from the June 11 meeting at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pflugerville2030.com\/\">http:\/\/www.pflugerville2030.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cora suggested a holiday cookie exchange in December. It was lots of  fun and she met neighbors that way. What do you think?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We discussed car vandalism and requesting more crime info about  Gatlinburg. Always investigate noise outside your house at night and  call Police. Always lock cars, remove valuables from sight, and put cars  in the garage if at all possible. Breaking into a car and stealing items  takes less than two minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We discussed the sign. An insurance claim with The Hartford company is  in the works says Clay who bought the police report to find out the  driver&#8217;s information. Stone work bids are needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its not how many of us get together, but the quality of the conversation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_s2mail":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[40,16,3,8],"class_list":["post-224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive","tag-crime","tag-meeting","tag-meeting-minutes-summary","tag-project-ideas"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233,"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224\/revisions\/233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gnafriends.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- WP Super Cache is installed but broken.
