Construction News At Ennis Luxury RV Resort

The following photo shows the concrete pads for the office and clubhouse with the utilities coming out of the pads as of June 7, 2022. The concrete will change color once it cures in a couple weeks. The next step will be to complete the driveway past the office and clubhouse as required by the fire department. Once the driveway is installed, then the construction of the office and clubhouse can begin. We are expecting to start construction before the end of June. The office is important to us because that will draw even more pre-leasing activity than we have experienced to-date. One of our investors in this project recently said, “Thank goodness my money is not in the stock market.” If you are not receiving our weekly RV Resort News, then subscribe by sending your email address to [email protected]

As you age, your body is at risk of diseases associated with aging, and what you put into your body can tremendously affect your ability to prevent those diseases. While healthy eating is important at any age, I’ve come to find out that it’s even more essential when you’re older. Eating right keeps you healthy, but it’s also the key to maintaining a positive outlook on life. No matter your age or eating habits, it’s never too late to change your diet and improve how you think and feel. Here are some tips to eat optimally so you can enjoy this part of your life.

The Benefits of Eating Healthier

First, let’s review why healthier foods are so important. Having good nutrition can boost your immunity, fight illnesses, and keep your weight in check. You can also reduce your risk of heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, and so much more. Eating more fruit, vegetables, fish, and nuts can sharpen your mind, which improves your focus and decreases your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. You will have more energy throughout the day when you’re eating healthy foods, and this spark in energy can also boost your mood and your self-esteem.

What Foods Should You Avoid?

What Foods Should You Eat?

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: As mentioned previously, food like fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts can sharpen your mind. But this food group can also prevent inflammation and slow down the process of age-related macular degeneration, which leads to poor vision. Nutritionists suggest eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids twice a week. • Calcium: It’s essential to consume foods high in calcium because if not, your body begins to reabsorb it from your bones. This causes your bones to become more fragile and brittle. The World Health Organization suggests that people over the age of 50 consume 1,200 mg of calcium daily. Many dairy and nondairy foods can provide this, such as broccoli, other dark leafy greens, milk, yogurt, cheese, enriched grains, and fortified cereals. • Fiber: As you age, your digestive system slows down. Having more fiber in your diet will promote proper digestion and reduce the risk of heart disease. Fiber-rich foods include nuts; whole grain cereal, bread, pasta, and brown rice; and fruits and vegetables. • Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Potassium, and Magnesium: Eating foods rich in these vitamins and minerals will boost your energy and resistance to disease. These include fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and seafood, plus any foods fortified with these nutrients.

• Processed Meats: Hot dogs and sausages have been salted, cured, or smoked to enhance their flavor. The sodium and chemical preservatives used in the process can create health problems and even cause cancer.

Packaged Foods: These foods contain lots of added sugars and sodium. The majority of packaged foods are also processed and contain high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and artificial

coloring. Think of chips, granola bars, fast food, and frozen pizza. These are typical packaged foods you want to avoid. However, nuts, eggs, olive oil, and milk are exceptions, even though they can be packaged.

I care about you and your family, and I want nothing but the best for you. I hope these tips help you make these years the best of your life. If you have any questions or concerns about your diet or your health, contact your doctor or nutritionist for more suggestions on what you can do to remain happy and healthy.

Learn something new. Hear us out — this is designed to be fun. The goal here isn’t to make your kid memorize multiplication tables over summer break. (Though, if you suggest it, they might find something else to do very quickly!) What interests do your kids have? Whether it’s firetrucks, dinosaurs, fashion, or something else entirely, they have countless opportunities to learn more through your local library or the World Wide Web. You don’t have to restrict them to book learning, either. Your kid might love the opportunity to try countless hobbies like sewing, sculpting, or even gardening. Camp close to home. Most kids love the outdoors, and they’re easily distracted by a bit of novelty. You don’t have to travel far to enjoy nature — you just need a backyard, a tent, and some sleeping bags. The prospect of spending the night outside will sound thrilling to most kids. If you have young children, make it a family affair with a campfire, roasted marshmallows, and songs. Let older kids invite some friends for a unique sleepover, complete with flashlight tag and scary stories. Summer will be over before you know it, but you and your kids can have more to show for those months — and great memories, too! Forget about “I’m bored,” and prepare yourself for a new mantra: “When can we do that again?” ‘Mom, Dad, There’s Nothing to Do!’ Keeping Kids Entertained Through Summer

Kids look forward to summer vacation all year long, but it often only takes a few days before the “I’m bored” whines begin. It gets worse; many kids will happily spend months staring at their devices, wasting time they’ll never get back. So, how do you get children outside, active, and entertained? Make a summer bucket list. It even happens to adults: We blink, and the season is over. All those things we “meant” to do somehow end up having to wait another year (or more). Don’t let that happen to you or your kids this year. Make sure everyone gets their fill of summer fun by making a list of can’t-miss activities. Include staples like visiting the pool or the zoo — but also entertain ideas about backyard crafts and water balloon fights. Don’t forget to incorporate plenty of things the kids can do at or near home. The next time they’re bored, point them to the list and urge them to complete one of their activities.

Not Just a Language Tool THE HISTORY BEHIND THE REAL ROSETTA STONE

Rosetta Stone is one of the world’s most popular and well- known language-learning softwares, but many users have wondered about where its name came from. The original Rosetta Stone was once the most enigmatic Egyptian artifact that confounded scholars for a number of years. When they finally cracked the code, one of the lost secrets of ancient Egypt was revealed. The Rosetta Stone is a slab of granite that has inscriptions of a decree issued in 196 B.C. by Egypt’s ruler at the time, Ptolemy V, and a group of Egyptian clergy members. The decree was written in hieroglyphics, ancient Greek, and Demotic, which was a script used by the common people. Experts estimate the stone’s construction was over 2,000 years, just after the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The slab was discovered in July 1799 by a group of French army engineers who were operating under Napoleon Bonaparte’s orders near the Egyptian town of Rosetta. The British Army would go on to defeat France in Egypt during the French Revolutionary Wars in 1801. Under the terms of the Treaty of Alexandria, the British claimed the Rosetta Stone, along with other Egyptian artifacts found by the French.

The British relocated the stone to the British Museum in London, where it was stored in a temporary structure until they could strengthen the floors of the museum to

support its incredible weight. Various scientists studied the artifact with no success, and it was ultimately deciphered by French linguist Jean-Francois Champollion.

Champollion discovered that hieroglyphics were a combination of phonetic and ideographic signs. Earlier scientists had falsely inferred that hieroglyphics were simply symbolic picture writing and nothing more. For his discovery, Champollion was named the founding father of Egyptology. If you’re interested in viewing the Rosetta Stone, it is still on display at the British Museum in London where it’s been displayed for 220 years, with the exception of a temporary relocation during World War I. While the Rosetta Stone has called London home for hundreds of years, there have been recent requests to return it to its homeland in Egypt.

5 PATRIOTIC MOVIES THE FAMILY WILL LOVE AMERICA ON THE SILVER SCREEN

‘An American Tail’ Follow Fievel the Russian mouse as he immigrates to America with his family in 1885. With action and anxiety-inducing antics, “An American Tail” provides younger children with history and a glimpse at the beauty of the American Dream. Plus, it’s nostalgia fodder for their parents, who likely grew up with Fievel and his family! ‘A League of Their Own’ Packed with Hollywood stars, “A League of Their Own” is inspired by the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Created in the depths of World War II, the league ran for 12 seasons. In the movie, two sisters must find a way to overcome their personal differences to make their baseball league a standout sport. (If you enjoy the movie, be sure to watch Amazon’s TV series!) ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’ This is one black-and-white film your politically active teens may enjoy. When Jefferson Smith becomes a U.S. senator, he’s taken under the wing of Senator John Paine, but Smith soon learns Paine has more nefarious ambitions. In the film, your family will see Congress in action — and a little ribbing, too! Check your local library or favorite streaming service to watch these titles.

“You’re killin’ me, smalls!” is probably what you will say to your kiddo when they say they haven’t watched “The Sandlot.” You may even discover they haven’t seen many America-themed classics! So, we have just the lineup for your next family movie night. In the spirit of Independence Day, check out these family-friendly American movie favorites. ‘The Sandlot’ An obvious choice but a good one, “The Sandlot” follows a group of neighborhood kids in the 1960s who gather at the local baseball diamond to play ball. It chronicles the feeling of summertime freedom, the gut-wrenching fear of local legends, the awkwardness of first crushes, and the true meaning of friendship. Plus, that Fourth of July scene will have the family in stitches! ‘National Treasure’ You may be surprised to learn that “National Treasure” is an action-packed movie with a PG rating! Loaded with history, the movie follows a passionate historian and a team of unlikely heroes as they search for a hidden treasure, and the location has been written on the back of the Declaration of Independence. (Be sure to check out the sequel, too, and the third movie, which is slated for a 2022 release.)
