The warm weather is finally here, inspiring many of us to make plans to get out and enjoy our favorite fresh air activities. With perfect timing, the Cape Gazette’s guide to Spring and Summer Festivals lists well over 100 fun things to do on your own or with family and friends [...]
Whether you’re a major “gearhead” or love someone who is, you should make plans to visit one of several upcoming car shows in Delaware.
The British are coming to Lewes on Saturday, May 4th between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Lewes Ferry Terminal located at 43 Cape Henlopen Drive for the Lewes British Motorcar Show, presented by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce and the British Car Club of Delaware. NOTE – you have to arrive before 2 p.m. or you won’t be able to get [...]
One of the best aspects of life in Delaware is our climate. While our summers are getting hotter, most days are still pleasant enough for outdoor activities, especially if you can get to one of our magnificent beaches or airy state parks. And although I still yearn for more snow for more festive holiday seasons, I’m grateful that most [...]

Longtime Cape Gazette reporter Ron MacArthur developed a list of fascinating facts all about life all across our state https://www.capegazette.com/article/all-about-delaware-and-survey-says/271418. Here are some points, both good and bad, that I think are especially unique:
A few weeks ago I started a series of blog posts predicated on the idea that a lot of people feel as if they’re stuck inside because of cold weather doldrums this time of year. I thought it would be a lot of work to go searching for things to do during these “quiet” months.
While we also have to pay transfer taxes that are typically divided between the buyer and seller, this is a one-time charge.

One of my favorite New Year’s resolutions is my commitment to volunteer more, give more, and do more to spread kindness through everyday actions. This year, as I think back on the posts I’ve done about Independent Living options for seniors https://www.activeadultsdelaware.com/blog/posts/2023/11/01/take-a-luxury-cruise-or-move-into-the-lodge-at-truitt-homestead/, I’d like to spotlight one of the best ways to support older folks who want to age in place in the homes they love.
As a result we have tremendous flooding in low-lying areas, with long stretches of roads either closed or significantly limited in the amount of traffic they’ll accommodate. On days like this it’s fairly easy for us to convince homebuyers to get the facts about flood insurance because these familiar places are literally underwater.
Unless you’re looking for something different. A quiet evening with a smaller group of friends and family, perhaps, with a special dinner and simpler entertainment . . . or even a bigger group of friends and neighbors brought together for a more reflective experience.
What’s always mattered most about our life in Delaware is the broad range of opportunities we have to enjoy nature, entertainment and culture, and the simple pleasures of good friends and neighbors. That’s why my last two posts about the winter holidays have focused on parades, performances, gorgeously decorated homes and other wonderful experiences.
