Indian Land, SC

Last week I had a nice lady visit the Carolinas and she is a very young and vibrant 67 year old. She is moving here to get out of the cold Minnesota winters. She wanted a beautiful ranch and in a community that provides lots of activities.

I showed her several neighborhoods and then showed her the Del Webb Community... An Active Adult Community for 55 and older.

Sun City Carolina Lakes

The buyer enjoyed looking at re-sales and then we visited the model community and she ended up choosing a beautiful lot and plan and will build.

While there she learned that this community provides many activities from...

• Golf
• Wood Working
• Stained Glass Classes
• Master Gardening
• Swimming
• Tennis
• Dancing
• Groups for all Interests
• Daytime Trips
• Over Night Trips

She was thrilled and is looking forward to retiring and moving into her beautiful new home next spring.

If you are considering moving to Charlotte or the surrounding area I would be happy to help you as well.

As the parent of a student who is just now driving on his own I worry quite a bit about driver safety. With school starting many parking lots and roads will be filled with you and inexperienced drivers. I caution these young drivers to be aware of your surroundings and other drivers. Does not matter how good a driver you may be, but you also need to be looking out for other drivers. Neighborhoods need particular attention because with so many people and children out walking, skateboarding and riding bikes drivers need to be cautious and aware of all the folks enjoying the outdoors. With school starting back up allow plenty of time to get to school as folks learn new traffic patterns and so forth and please exercise a little patience. As the mom of a new driver I try to tell him not to worry about doing the things right with impatient drivers trying to pass him or toot their horns trying to hurry him into on-coming traffic. Please be considerate because it seems each week I hear tragic stories about young people dying senselessly in automobile accidents. Put this on your list as you start the new school year to be a safe driver and be respectful of the other drivers out on the road. STAY SAFE!
