Healthy, Easy Meals for Active Adults

Empty-nesters often lament the transition from cooking for a family to cooking for one or two adults. As a result, too much food is prepared (and often thrown away after the leftovers lose their luster), or these individuals opt for eating out, which can wreak havoc on diet and nutrition.

Thankfully, March is Frozen Food Month (and March 6 is National Frozen Food Day – officially declared in 1984 and celebrated each year hence), and there are plenty of freezer options that are both easy and nutritious.

Living Large in a Windsong Community

To Adia and Pedro, size was an important factor in their decision to move into a 55+ community. As with many homeowners who downsize, spaciousness was a big concern. But with an open floorplan and wide hallways, their new home felt like the exact right place to start their next chapter.

Active Adults CREATE Their Best Life

It’s a lovely day for a drive – either to be out enjoying sunshine, or (like these past two weeks) riding around to forget that the weather is overcast and gloomy. Seeking adventure or inspiration, you find yourself inside a model home in a Windsong community.

On your tour, you are filled with excitement as you walk through an open floorplan with plenty of windows (that make even the gloom outside look brighter!), dramatic flooring, cabinetry, and countertops that bring to mind gatherings and dinner parties with family and friends. Heck, even the bathrooms and closets are show-stoppers!

Sherry Vining: First She Bought a Windsong Home, Now She Sells Them

For Sherry Vining, Sales Professional, deciding to join the Windsong team was an easy choice after her experience with buying her own Windsong home.

“My husband and I had to find one-level living because he has a disability,” explains Sherry. “We visited one of the Windsong models and knew immediately that was the home we needed because of our day-to-day living requirements. When we found out the floorplan we loved the most was named Harrison, which is our grandson’s name, we knew that was exactly where we were supposed to be.”

Loving Life… Boomer-Style

The “retirement” of our forebears is not what the next chapter looks like for today’s “employment-behind-us” generation!

Baby Boomers have re-crafted, re-purposed, re-invented just about everything. Since this generation entered the world, they have figured out what works for them, ignored or adapted what didn’t, and invented the bulk of what we view as normal today.

Active Adults Cultivate Winter Traditions

On February 2nd each year, we wait with bated breath to find out if Winter will be with us for six more weeks, or if we’ll enjoy an early Spring… based on whether a groundhog sees his shadow when he emerges from his hole for breakfast.

Thanks to a cloudy morning, Beauregard Lee didn’t see his shadow when he emerged on Tuesday, so if you place stock in the prediction cast by a giant rodent, Georgia can prepare for an early Spring.

Waiting in Winter - A Boomer Poem

I taste the morning coffee – an inspirational thing.

Winter dawn colorful one day, gray the next

In Georgia, where weather’s mercurial nature

Led us to invent “dressing in layers”

An assortment of coats, sweaters, scarves

Gloves for good measure

Active Adults Have Hobbies (and Time to Enjoy Them!)

January is National Hobby Month, in which people remember what it’s like to enjoy having time to pursue activities, to create, or even to learn something new.
