How could you know!

Time for our annual ground rules. Before we go there 6 just has to make a statement about how many rules and regulation we have to deal with every day. Let us start at the top, 10 commandments, turns into 7 articles of the US constitution, which turns into (10) amendments the bill of rights, then to 17 other amendments. From there we need to complicate it even further resulting in countless number of federal, state, and local laws. What this means is something very simple has become so complex that no one other than the 6 could keep them all straight! Every single day our tax dollars are being spent by individuals who are doing nothing but making rules laws or whatever you want to call them to meet the constantly changing demands of their people. 50% of them make no sense at all and never take root, 49% of them grow like weeds but after 10 to 20 years just fade away and are never seen again, relinquished to the dark dusty law books. That leaves the 1% that actually takes root and makes a change for our lives. This one percent is the 17 amendments that we have put on the books in the past 200 plus years. So let’s just simplify our constitution from last year.

Kiawah Constitution: Pre-amble, We the people of the Kiawah Vacation alliance, in Order to form a more perfect Vacation, establish relaxation, insure family tranquility, provide for Rex, promote general debauchery, and savor  the Blessings we all have.

 1) everyday take a  10 minutes  and think about why we insist on taking something so simple and turn it into something that changes it shape more often than the breaking of the waves on Kiawah. 2) The GPB is full of          Wisdom, intelligence, and maturity (not age), so never question his judgment. 3) Follow the docket the GPB mandates.   See a simple set of rules this year!

Couple more things: Cousins night out is out! Girl’s night is in! No bare feet or flip flops in the condo, socks at all times. No profanity except during Hota and Kathy lee. No internet or phones unless pre-approved by GPB. Rex Everyday on the beach at 5:00, Gentleman Jack Sunday at 8:15 PM. Dinner at 7:00. Bring your 2014 Kiawah shirts (formal and wife beater). Lights out at 10:00 except for 61,62 and 71, their job is to keep 8 up all night long. Avoid pond 302 the gators are nesting. Water temp is 82 and rising, needs to be 84 for the jellies to come in. Sharks are attracted to shiny objects and bright colors, so ware your jewelry and pink cozy (7 shave your head before you come they love blood). Must all attend the new Family Vacation (July 29^th).

Words of Wisdom: keep you life simple; let your roots grow deep, so you don’t let the winds of change lead you off of the path.
