The Perks of Being President

The only thing I'm President of is the Highland Restoration Association, an organization that for 35 years has worked to revitalize the historic Highland area.  I work extremely hard at this unpaid position, but there are some perks to the gig--I get to see inside and outside some incredible Highland properties and meet the awesome people living in our neighborhood!

We are currently working on a Highland Garden Tour scheduled for May 18.  Seven neighborhood gardens will be featured, and it is going to be a memorable and fun-filled event--it's this year's version of the Highland Experience.  For two Sundays now, the committee has toured potential garden sites and occasionally gotten to tour inside the houses with the gardens.  Last Sunday I got my wits about me and snapped a few quick shots with my IPhone. 

Tour participants will not be touring the homes during our May event--so here's a sneak look inside one of the homes constructed in an old fire station, plus a couple views from tour gardens as the home owners work to get their outdoor spaces ready for the tour.
Anyone want to slide down the fire pole?
