I am a 80 years young mother of 3 sons, and GmaNana to 8 amazing grandkids! Pre-Covid I was more adventurous, loading my kayak on my Outback to paddle many local rivers and lakes. Other interests are Line Dancing, Classical music concerts, spending time with my grandkids as much as possible, reading, maintaining my home, cooking, and meet ups with good friends. Traveling again has been a slow process, but exciting. I live in a gated community with many amenities: lovely lake, challenging golf course, several beach parks with bbq, picnic tables, restrooms. Some have playgrounds and basketball/pickleball courts. While my home is not on the lake, I enjoy a beautiful lake view across the street. Our Clubhouse has a large dining room, beautiful outdoor patio dining with a view of the golf course, and a popular bar. We also have a Community Center across the lake with pool, & several fitness/yoga classes.
