Show and Tell Friday!

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! Thank you to all of you that join in every week!
 Today I'm sharing my little garden birdbath that I've had for a very long time!  I'v moved this thing to 3 different homes!  It's has a crack which I tried to repair and didn't but I still love it!  I have a plan to do a china mosaic in the bowl but it's been years that I've had that on my list and it's still not

Your Dream Retirement Home in Florida Active Adult Retirement Community Still Affordable

Buying your dream retirement home in a Florida active adult retirement community is still within reach. A new home in a Florida active adult community can cost you as little as $176,000. What will $176,000 buy you? How’s this value for your money…a 1,409 sq ft two bedroom, two bath home with a cozy, but open, feel? A one-car garage provides a place for you car or a little extra storage space. There’s a front porch to seat yourself while you banter with neighbors or, if you are the entertaining type, an optional outdoor summer kitchen – extra living space to spend time with family and friends.

Speaking of entertaining, this new home in a Florida active adult community also provides an open area for casual entertaining as the bright great room opens to the dining room and kitchen. All appliances are efficiently within reach and since the kitchen is close to the front door, carrying grocery bags from the car won’t be a chore. Need a rest after all the entertaining and shopping? Retire to your owner’s suite, located at the rear of your home – it’s like having your own private oasis. Soak in the elegant tub and relax on your (optional) lanai.

And, living in an active adult retirement community in Florida comes with community perks, too. Consider the partnership with nearby Stetson University in DeLand which offers continuing education within the community as well as on-campus. Security monitoring and organized block watches will give you piece of mind, especially if you enjoy traveling during retirement. And, the central community clubhouse hosts social events galore (for all you social butterflies!). For more information check out www.trilogylife.com.

Show and Tell Friday!

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I had planned to decorate for Fall last weekend but it was so hot here in Northern California that I just can't get into the Fall mood yet. It's been in the high 90s but it's supposed to start cooling down soon...thankfully!  We had such a cool summer, it was only in the 70s and low 80s almost all summer and now the heat comes in October!

 The only Fall decor I have out right now is a pumpkin on my front porch! I hope to pull my things out of storage this weekend! I started looking through my blog to see what I've done in the past and found these photos! I just love these sparkly pumpkin candles than I found a couple years ago at the grocery store! I thought they would be perfect to share today for Show and Tell!
