Thank you, Dana and crew
I moved into the Windsor Gardens Community in late April. I have
been so pleased with everything here (even OK with the assigned
laundry times)! But I must say that I am extremely impressed with
what Dana Cusack and his team have accomplished here. I had
lived here a while before I actually took a complete walk around the
grounds. Of course, I was totally impressed with the flowers in front
of my building – especially since I did not have to purchase or actually
plant them and to my surprise I did not miss doing that! Watching
them grow and seeing the beautiful arrangements was sufficient.
However when I did take that walk, I was amazed at the beauty
around each building and area. Every building had its own unique
shrub, bush and annual designs. No easy cookie cutter flower beds
for Dana! Each area has what grows best for their conditions...the
shady impatiens in the town home area are stunning and that area is
so peaceful looking. Everywhere I turned I was delighted at the new
colors, textures and thoughtful planning that made up each bed.
So I just want to acknowledge and thank them for the work they all do
to make this an awesome looking place to call home!

The Fitness Center
I was in the Fitness Center this morning and it was totally quiet. Soon
I was the only one left in there. One man came in and worked out a
few minutes – no interaction. Another woman came in and worked
out a short period, used her phone, but no sound was heard, no
interaction. I had music on my iPod. I felt like we were in a robotic
situation! Has technology taken the place of social connections?
This community was designed for senior citizens to avoid isolation –
or maybe not. Of course, all of this is in regard to no TV sound.
