The Livin' Is Easy

Whoever designed Park & Market apartments must have been using one of those over-sized EASY buttons, that graphic image from Staples that everyone associates with getting work done more efficiently, in less time and without so much stress, so we can take things a little easier. Truthfully, if the livin’ gets any easier I won’t even have to get out of bed in the morning.

Last week, two nights in a row, I invited good friends I hadn’t seen in awhile to come have dinner and see my new home. Here’s how it went… walk across the street for my commute home, set up a few drinks and a bowl of snacks on the kitchen island, meet my friends downstairs by Harris Teeter to show them in and around, and enjoy a lively conversation until time to see about dinner. Or more accurately, time to let Piola see about dinner. The cost? About the same as buying groceries. The EASY button? No grocery lists or cleanup.

Friday I was headed to a potluck and planning to bring fruit salad. Things ran later than I expected at work. No worries though, because I stopped by Zoes Kitchen and picked up two containers of their hand-cut fruit, emptied them into my best dish, and came home with an empty bowl.

More EASY buttons? How about one for your social life? This week brought not one but two Resident Meet-Ups, one at Firebirds and one in our club room before the final Beach Music concert of the season.

Maybe you were thinking EASY button for your fall wardrobe? Click on Park & Market’s calendar and you’ll see Scout & Molly’s is hosting a live DJ Party exclusively for us on September 22nd.

Looking for a way to support a local charity while giving your dog a day on the town? EASY once again with great updates on local events, in this case Celebrity Paws for COPE on September 11 from 9:00 – Noon at Laurel Hills Park.

How about having someone change your air filter while you’re at work, or arranging a private wine tasting from one of those great local vineyards, you know, the stuff you would do if you had more time? You probably can’t make more hours in a day, but you can make the move to Park & Market, where the livin’ is definitely easy.
