Johanna Woods Salutes Our Veterans On November 11th each year, our nation officially recognizes the men and women who have served in our country’s armed forces. In the recent past, no doubt, many of us have watched this day come and go and enjoyed the peace and prosperity their efforts and lives have purchased for [...]

Are You Ready For Cooler Weather? Seems like a silly question considering the hot weather that has tried to linger into fall this year. But as sure as the seasons change, cooler weather will be here before we know it. In case you haven’t thought that far ahead yet this year, here are some things [...]

Community Improvements As we go through the process of individual home inspections each year, it seems appropriate that we also let you know the improvements that are being made in Johanna Woods.

Tomorrow…A True Labor Saver? It’s been said by true procrastinators that “tomorrow is the greatest labor saving device ever invented”. Before you sign on to this idea think about how hot it is in August compared to June, and even July. There were very few major repairs listed on anyone’s inspection this year and that’s [...]

Happy 229th Birthday to U.S.! The fact that our country is 229 years old, should make the oldest among us feel young again! But, if that doesn’t do it, maybe some home-made ice cream, a family picnic and some fireworks will do the trick. We hope that everyone enjoys time with their family and has [...]

Is it a Manufactured Home or a “Trailer”? We often hear manufactured homes referred to as “trailers”.

The difference between the terms can indicate a difference in viewpoints that can determine whether you live in a “trailer park” [...]

Summertime – It’s Almost Here! Wow! Summer is already upon us. The pool opens at the end of the month and the kids have taken to the streets on their bikes, scooters, skateboards and roller blades to take advantage of the long summer days. Flowers are blooming, yard work demands our attention and school is [...]

Preparing for Springtime in Oklahoma! It’s been said that “March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb”. Well, whoever said that didn’t live in Oklahoma in April! In our neck of the woods April can be pretty windy and wild. Are you ready? Before the winds and storms arrive take a [...]

Spring is in the Air! And the signs of Spring are all around us! The days are getting longer, tulips and daffodils are trying to peek out of the ground, homes are going up for sale in the neighborhood and more people are out looking to make Johanna Woods their home. Spring always shakes us [...]

Spring & Inspections Will Be Here Soon! It’s been an unusual winter in Oklahoma! We’ve seen a few teasing previews of spring mixed in with some harsh reminders that it is still winter! It’s hard to believe that we often see our heaviest snowfalls in March. Especially when it’s 60ยบ in January. It’s not quite [...]

Happy New Year! It’s almost 2005! Can you believe it? Personally, the years seem to be flying by more and more quickly. But then, mother said that would happen. She said it had something to do with age! Most of us reading this newsletter can remember at least 15 or 20 years ago. Some 30 [...]
