Sparkling Party Punch
Graduations, weddings, and Father’s Day celebrations are happening all over town, and all the while the temperature keeps rising. Stay cool with this delicious and festive sparkling punch, refreshing for any occasion and perfect for kids and adults. Some of the ingredients may take a little effort to track down, but the results are well worth it. For dads, grads, brides, and anyone out there with something to celebrate, cheers to you!
1 12 oz. can Minute Maid limeade concentrate (it’s the best)1 2-liter bottle chilled seltzer, plain or flavored2 oz. raspberry or strawberry puree or syrup1 tsp. rosewater - optional, but very delicious
Handful of fresh, well-washed mint leaves
Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl and stir well - careful, the seltzer is very fizzy! The splash of rosewater gives it a subtle flavor that is delicious and almost impossible to describe, but too much of it will be overpowering, so be careful. A garnish of unsprayed rose petals is beautiful, but be very sure they were grown without any dangerous chemicals. A scoop of sherbet or sorbet added to each glass first would be extra-festive, or some ice cubes made with lime slices, mint leaves, and berries.
Once the county has finished its work replacing the electrical box and signal post, the beautification committee can add more plants and make our neighborhood even more beautiful and welcoming. Please visit the Colonial Gables Facebook page later this month and cast your vote. Want more input? Attend the Association meetings held quarterly at Colonial Oaks Park - the next one is September 4 at 7:00 p.m.
Speaking of the Homeowners’ Association, each of us was mailed an envelope with a notice of this year’s dues. It’s only $25 to join the association, and membership dues go toward projects just like this one, and keep our community looking sharp and our property values rising. Your dues pay for water for our common landscaping, go towards keeping our backflow preventer in compliance, fund our annual community holiday party. Your contribution benefits the whole neighborhood, so please be sure to submit your dues as soon as possible.

Hi, neighbors! Big changes are underway and the newly re-elected board of officers needs your help choosing a new color scheme for our entrance signage. The membership agreed that the signage at our entrances needs some updating: a new design with new lettering, and a fresh new color palette for the entrance at Woodmont, with Hayden and the other entrances to follow. At the most recent Homeowners’ Association meeting, the membership favored a palette of shades of blue, so the board of officers has been hard at work selecting paint samples to present very soon on our Facebook page for selection by popular vote. We have narrowed the selection down to three possible palette choices to be applied to the stucco wall, its concrete cap, and the newly designed sign announcing Colonial Gables.
A volunteer is needed to deliver the newsletter to the 20 homes on Lakewood Drive. It’s quick and easy, and everyone is friendly.
