Welcome to Greenbriar Villas Social Club Community
september 2026
At risk of sounding like one of those old guys, we see around here shouting at kids to get off the lawn and turn down the music, I was stunned to see that Sam’s Club had decided to display fully decorated Christmas trees and other such items right next to the expected Halloween displays. Wow! August. Does that mean it is OK to start watching the Hallmark Christmas movies? College football season is here and the NFL debuts in just a week or so on a Wednesday (September 9) with a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl with the Seahawks hosting the Patriots. Let the fun begin. Labor Day (9/7) is the unofficial end of summer, but I doubt it will be the end of our scorching temps. I’m sure we have another month or so of our thighs sticking to the car seats and scorching our hands on the steering wheel.
In addition to Labor Day September has Patriot Day on 9/11; 9/17 marks the adoption of the US Constitution in 1787; Yom Kippur is observed on 9/20 and Rosh Hashanah 9/21. 9/22 is the Autumnal Equinox officially starting fall.

September Is Here — Somehow!
Well, here we are in September. The good news is that summer is finally beginning to loosen its grip. The bad news is that in Florida, “beginning to loosen its grip” apparently means the temperature drops from surface of the sun to merely inside a parked car. Still, September brings the promise of slightly cooler days, fewer reminders that we should be drinking more water, and the welcome return of neighbors who have escaped to cooler climates for the summer.
As we head into another month, it’s a good time to reconnect with our neighbors, catch up on what’s happening around the neighborhood and perhaps discover that the person you’ve waved to for three years actually has a name. So, grab a cold drink, settle in, and see what’s new. And remember: September may mark the unofficial beginning of fall, but around here, we’ll know autumn has truly arrived when someone finally says, “Wow, it’s only 85 degrees today. Feels chilly!”

Amazing, isn’t it. My apologies for helping a data center use up your water. I have opinions on almost everything, but I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I know AI may be bad on some levels, but it certainly does a good job at telling me what questions I should be asking my doctor(s).

Sunday, October 25 is the date for the annual……
Greenbriar Neighborhood Block Party.
There will be music, great food and will Viney make an appearance? Dare we hope?
We need volunteers to help set up tents at 5 pm. Music will be provided by Tight Jeans. The Food Truck will be Pernell Seasonings. See description below:
Pernell's Seasonings is emerging as a stylish Southern and comfort food destination with street food flair. Neighbors are encouraged to “come check us out” for a full-day experience of BREAKFAST, LUNCH, and DINNER, creating a vibrant gathering spot for seafood lovers and soul food fans alike. This food truck and food stand concept brings a trendy, made-for-the-community feel, highlighted by signature items like catfish, gumbo, boudin, grouper, crawfish empanadas, blue crab empanadas, and fried okra, plus MOJO and Cajun wings.
