Suspicious Box Truck on Greany Drive!

This morning (Tuesday, September 16th) at approximately 3:07 AM, we were awoken by the sound of a large vehicle idling outside of our house. I could faintly hear voices outside of the house but didn't get out of bed thinking it was probably just a neighbor coming back from a fun night out. After several minutes, I heard the sound of vehicle doors slamming shut and the heavy acceleration of a truck. At this point, I jumped out of bed and ran to the bedroom window to see a white box truck (similar to the above picture) travelling down the street. Thinking the worst, I ran down the stairs and checked the house and garage but nothing seemed to be out of place. It was probably nothing, but I thought I should post this on the blog in case somebody on the street believes they were robbed this morning. My apologies if this truck belongs to you and was on Greany Drive for legit purposes.

Stuffs

Hi everyone! I have a room full of little decorations that I am looking to give away. The room had a "flower/sunflower" theme, and I have a few things if anyone would like them. I have a framed print of Monet's "Sunflowers", a small framed picture of an Anne Geddes Sunflower baby, two touch lamps with small blue and yellow flowers on the glass shades, some yellow candles, etc. Please come by and look at them at any time; I will NOT be offended if you are not interested in the items once you see them, I promise. I can also email pictures if you would like. Just contact me at hknadeau13@gmail.com or 508-839-6864. If not, Lynne, I would love to contribute some items to a yard sale! Thanks!

Great idea!

This blog is a great idea. I wish we had known about the yard sale ... as we have a garage full of unwanted "stuff" and were planning on having a yard sale. When we do go ahead and do it, I'll post on here for the other people that missed it yesterday.

Oil Exploration Begins on Greany Drive

Recently a few emails have gone around the neighborhood discussing the possibility of creating a Fuel-Oil Co-op for this winter's home heating oil contracts. Although many us presently use different oil companies, there may be a way to save significant dollars if we all contracted through the same vendor (see article, How to Save Money by Starting a Fuel Co-op). With the recent cut in production by OPEC and the hurricanes in the gulf region, it certainly looks like oil prices may escalate this winter. With this in mind, now is the perfect time to pool our buying power and reach out to a local oil company with a co-op proposal. From our initial research, it looks like we will need to have at least 10 homes participating (or 10,000 gallons) to meet the general minimums required. If your are interested in putting this idea into action, please post your comments and suggestions to this blog so that we can get create a legitimate 'game plan'. I suspect we will want to designate a point-person to be responsible for collecting our individual oil needs (how many gallons you used last year, the price per gallon, the vendor you used, etc.). Any volunteers? By the way...we think this is a fantastic idea and we thank the neighborhood resident that came up with it! - Andrew & Susan (6Greany)
