It takes more than a list of ingredients to make me a chef! When asked if I can cook, I often say "I can follow a recipe". I can do the simple things pretty well. I don't undercook or overcook and I know what I like. When I watch a chef put together a meal, however, I realize there's a big [...]

Some like in town living. Some want Active Adult Communities and others want to be out in the country on a few [...]

Then you go through all the paperwork and the packing and the moving and one day you live there. Is it what you hoped? Are the neighbors [...]

What I'm trying to say is - get to know Delaware and then you can decide what kind of community is right for you. I finally understand why so many people from New Jersey are sure they want to live in a 55+ community.
