| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | FEBRUARY 2021 | 59 From Courtney Taylor, publisher: Last month's joke was an ad for a crazy adventure. After nearly a year being stuck inside, a little adventure, crazy or not, doesn't sound so bad. We all spent 2020 doing something new… for me, 2020 was the year I learned how to use a semicolon. When we went into lockdown, I asked an expert to help with editing. Her name is Dr. Diane Fox, but I call her mom. She has been in education her entire life - as a teacher, administrator, and a student. She's super smart and, best of all, retired. I was hoping she'd break away from ID Murder TV and Golden Girls to help edit. She did. And that's when she discovered I had no idea how to use a semicolon. "Is that a full sentence after the semicolon, Courtney?" she'd ask, thinly hiding her disappointment. Usually it wasn't. It's such a simple rule. I'm glad I finally learned it. Thanks mom for pitching in and continuing to help! If you would like to win a free dinner, find the ad, article or just weird, out-of-place, completely made-up (and hopefully funny) item in this month's Lifestyles. When you find it, fill out the box below and (new!) EMAIL IT TO sunlakesnews@yahoo.com before noon on the sixth of the month. If you are the first correct guess chosen at random, you will win a free dinner. Good luck! Congratulations to this month's Dinner Winner: MARY ANN MELLEBY Please call Kelly in the Admin.

Please thank them by visiting their place of business or calling them first whenever you need their service or product. THE BEST! I'd rather quarantine for another five years than walk a tightrope! Especially one that connects two hot air balloons. Sallie F. Now that I have finished with kissing rattlesnakes on the lips, this looks like the next fun thing to try. The email address is also my comment - never@inamillionyears LOL. George P. I'd love to sign my husband up for class, but wait until I increase his life insurance. Lynette S. In my life, I have certainly done a few adrenaline-producing activities, but tightrope walking between two hot air balloons might just be a tad beyond my comfort zone! LOL. Dix H. I would try this, only, let me have the wine, forget the spectators. Joyce C. And I thought shopping at WalMart was an Out There Adventure. Victor G. No thanks, but I'll sign up for the wine. Bob A. Having lived in Temecula we used to do this all the time. When virus is over we're thinking of creating a club for this. Nick P. After the 'tightrope' we've been walking for the past year with the pandemic, this sounds like a welcome change with a new view! Let's go! Jeanne V. This whole year has felt like tightrope walking. We've weighed the need for getting out of our homes versus risking COVID. Beverly R. Sign me up! I will even do the tight rope blind folded just to be able to get out of the house! LOL Susan C. Hope y'all figured out the TP square thing... cause I think it'll be a BYOR for this event! Margaret W. I think I would also need a blindfold… Along with a parachute and a wing suit!
