“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count,
It is the life in your years.”
~Abraham Lincoln
Fort Myers had a lot of rain during one of the hurricane weekends recently, so knowing that it was coming, Carol Donohue and Missy Fisher got down to the pool to get their water aerobics in before the storm. It’s wonderful to know that water aerobics continues in SBE. Many in our village love to stay healthy enjoying this form of exercise, even when we sometimes joke that our mouths get most of the workout and we almost always talk about food!
We recently had a conversation about what we’re looking forward to when visiting our winter home in Southwest Florida during the coming season. So, we’ve created a “To Do List.” What would you like to add? Email me at [email protected] to share what’s on your list.
• We both enjoy walking on the boardwalks at The Audubon Corkscrew Bird Sanctuary and the Six-Mile Cypress Slough.
• Attend a Yankees/Red Sox/Twins Spring Training game.
• Attend the Community Concerts and a play or two at the Barbara Mann Theater.
• Visit the Barnum and Bailey Circus Museum in Sarasota.
Greg is looking forward to increased participation of pickleball players and leagues. Getting lights on the courts would help boost that effort. Golfing on Wednesday afternoons with the Moodys are fun. Wednesdays are also great fun getting together at our SBE Pool Parties. It’s a great way to meet new neighbors as well as enjoy the company of cherished friends.
Carol loves being in the water for water aerobics and swimming laps at the Helm Club Pool. Although it starts a bit early, it’s worth getting out for the 9-Hole Ladies Golf group. The highlight is Sweethearts Golf. In January, Carol will again plan some watercolor classes, this time having a special class for interested guys, as well as the regular one for women.
Shopping is always a treat at Victoria’s in Bonita Springs. And Saturday Mornings are a good time to stroll the Farmer’s Market at Cape Coral.
I also plan to visit the Naples Botanical Garden and the Naples Zoo. I have a recommendation for lunch at the Botanical Café: The Wagyu Beef “Fogg” Burger makes my mouth water, just thinking about it!

Let us know what is on your “To Do List.” We’re certainly open to your ideas for putting “Life in your years.” The Landings and Southwest Florida are a great place to explore and be active.
