An Active Adult’s “Must-Have” List

From the very first homes we built, Windsong recognized the appeal of main level living while incorporating the features we loved about the large homes and neighborhoods in which we raised our families.

With an eye toward both luxury and practicality, each Windsong home features a smaller footprint but spaces that live large, making everyday living enjoyable, and entertaining easier.

Active Adults Favor Treats (Not Tricks)

As daylight grows shorter and chilly nights stretch

And onto the sidewalks, leafless tree shadows are etched,

Active Adults put their courtyard gardens to bed

And snuggle before the fire with books to be read.

Boomers Make A Difference

On the fourth Saturday in October each year, millions of Americans participate in Make A Difference Day, a movement which began in 1990 to improve the communities in which we live, work, and play.

While many volunteer projects require connecting with a non-profit organization or community group, Make A Difference Day can be anything you want to do that will make your community a better place to live.

What Is The Active Adult Lifestyle?

Philanthropic Tips for Active Adults

Boomers Benefit from Basic Computer Knowledge

October is Computer Learning Month, which is the perfect time to brush up on skills that are essential to everyday life.

If you use a smart phone, tablet, E-reader, the GPS system built into your car, credit or debit cards at a retail store, or most any electronic device these days, you are likely using some iteration of personal computer. It is to your benefit to become better acquainted with these machines that now proliferate every nook and cranny of our lives

Active Adults Make Excellent Neighbors

A Boomer Poem, inspired by Good Neighbor Day, September 28, 2019

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

These words precede a smile

Spoken with a gentle voice

Who invited us to stay for a while.

Perhaps that’s the idyllic goal

For the lives we aspire to live

A community becomes a neighborhood

When a smile is something we give.

Boomers Celebrate Abundance with Hobbies & Interests in “Self-tember”

Contrary to popular belief, “abundance” has less to do with how much money is in your bank account than with the amount of joy present in each day. Many people discover feelings of abundance in simple, everyday pleasures that are often taken for granted.

Ways Boomers Can Celebrate Positive Thinking Day

Friday the 13th is a GOOD DAY, especially when it falls in September. Since 2003, the 13th of September has been designated “Positive Thinking Day,” to help people overcome kevidekatriaphobia (fear of the number 13), and paraskevidekatriaphobia (the irrational fear of Friday the 13th).

Active Adults have many reasons to CELEBRATE the day (and every day, regardless of what the calendar says). Celebrating Positive Thinking can be summed up in a handful of positive quotes:
