The Renters

According to a renter named Marty,"renting is the lowest form of life." He is a nasty renter. He lies. He is not supposed to have a dog, but he does. It's a really big one. He thinks that he is better than he is. My husband and I split the cleaning of the condo. Marty caught my husband vacuuming and he dared to look at me and say, "what a good girl." I had to put him in his place explaining that marriage means working together. He said that he had been married and I smiled and said, "But, you're not now, are you?"

Renters have been really crazy. This past summer, we had a renter named Joyce who claimed to have been married to a Jewish doctor. She was invited to sit on our porch byMeryl, QUEEN OF THE RENTERS. Se told us all about her sex life and the guys that she met on-line. She claimed to be a nurse, but hooked up with a grave digger named Carl. We met him and noted that they had sex and prepared fish for dinner........but, not at the same time.

There were 3 Italian girls that rented a unit one summer. We called them THE SOPRANOS. I learned a lot about restaurants from them.

We also had an inter-racial couple that rented and they fought in the parking lot.

The best was a gal named Sheila and her second husband, John. All she wanted to do was go to the pool. Barbara, QUEEN OF THE POOL, kept closing it down on her claiming the Board of Health said their were problems. Every time the sign came off the pool door, Sheila ran to the pool, thinking that it was open. NOPE!!! Barbara ran to close it. Sheila complained to Jeff.Jeff told her to talk to Tony. Tony sent her back to Jeff. They played her for a fool. Her husband, John had no use for her. He was laughing with Jeff and Tony.

Paula a young tenant never could quite make it across our part of the sidewalk without getting soaked by the sprinkler while she carried her garbage to the dumpster. She was single and lonely. She adopted a handicapped, abused dog (they are the rage at our development). Next summer we will see how that turns

out.

Meridith and Andre are another interracial couple who rent. They truly like each other and get along with other people. They have an adorable son named Zachary. Next summer, we will see if they are still at the condo.

Another young couple, Keith and Allie live at the condo also. Their little guy, Evan, is adorable. Allie is a officer for NYS Environmental Protection and Keith was in training to be one also. Next summer we will see how that turned out.

What happens with renters is that they come and go and the entire configuration of the condo changes.
