Okay couch potatoes – we’ve all had a nice rest during these cold winter months but pretty soon the weather will get warmer, beckoning you to get outside, get in shape, or do both. If you happen to live in Sussex County there are many different types of gyms – including some, like [...]
Thanksgiving is an enduringly beloved American holiday for many reasons: the sumptuous cuisine, the beauty of the foliage, the extra time we have with our families if we’re fortunate enough and, to many, the joy that comes from doing things to make life better for [...]
Whether you’re recently moved to Delaware or are looking back on many years as a resident, you’re probably grateful for the opportunity to enjoy your senior years in a beautiful and peaceful place. One way to express that gratitude is to volunteer to make life better for [...]
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.
This week I’m spotlighting a major force in New Castle County – the Newark Senior Center https://newarkseniorcenter.com/. The organization is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and offers the following services for members who pay $33 a year or $300 for a lifetime membership:

This week I’m focusing on a wonderful resource for people living in Kent County. It’s the Modern Maturity Center in Dover, and offers a wide range of services, including:
This week I’m spotlighting another great resource for folks who live near Greenwood, Georgetown, Milton, Lewes, Long Neck, Frankford, Roxana and Millsboro.

As described below, The Lodge at Truitt Homestead https://truittlodge.com/ offers a similar opportunity. It’s located in Rehoboth near King’s Creek and the Rehoboth Beach Country Club. The best way to describe the feeling I get when perusing the Web site is that I’m looking at a brochure for a luxury cruise with fine accommodations, great food, and a wide range of social, recreational and educational activities, all of which are summed up in this fun video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZePM4XcXoB0.
