Changes Coming to Our Restaurant Facility |
Submitted by Jim Romine As we approach the end of 2017, the operators of Putters Café have decided to end their food and beverage operation in Sun City Texas. Darren and Cecy will continue to operate Putters Café during their regular business hours until December 31 and they appreciate your continued support until their departure. New operator Nels Johnson (owner and operator of Wriggley’s) will take over as the operator of the facility in the first quarter of 2018. When more information becomes available regarding opening dates, menus, hours of operation, etc. we will communicate this to the community. |

Many of us have one holiday item that we cherish above all the rest: a delicate ornament lovingly wrapped in paper, a serving dish reserved only for the grandest of occasions, candlesticks carved by the hands of a loved one or a dog-eared cookbook with writing in the margins. With so many memories wrapped up in these and other objects, Sun Rays wants to know, do you have a special holiday heirloom or keepsake? What is its history? How did it come into your possession? What memories or stories are connected with it?
To be considered for publication in our Dec. issue, send your story (300 words or less, please) to [email protected] by Friday, Oct. 27. Photos are highly encouraged. |

Common Area & Irrigation Updates |
|
Fall Watering Fall is typically wetter and cooler and, for established landscapes, it’s a great time to see how far you can stretch those days between watering cycles. Don’t be afraid to shut the system down, and see what happens. If the yard is beginning to look stressed, turn the system back on for a day. |
|
Level 3 Common Area Mowing Update Next week phase one will have been completely mowed, and phase two will begin in Neighborhood 16.
