My Neighborhood

I live in the Bay Indies Resort Community. Bay Indies is a +55 retirement community. What does that mean? Simply put, owners of Bay Indies homes must be over the age of 55. However, guests of all ages are always welcome. Twice named Community of the Year, Bay Indies has a variety of on-site activities such as billiards, shuffleboard, tennis courts, horseshoe pits and hot tubs, saunas and three sparkling swimming pools to keep you entertained.

Additionally, there is a two mile hiking path that circles the resort community. There is always something to do here.

About Me :)

After teaching adult learners for twenty-five years in Minnesota, I decided to escape the cold and move to paradise, otherwise known as Florida. Last December 24th I loaded up my car - and a not very happy Mazi and moved to my new home.

It has taken me a little while to get organized, but now we are ready to invite you to spend some time in paradise. If you are interested in spending a few days or longer in paradise, please request my pre-home stay lesson.
