Our life at Casa is everything we expected and more. It’s hard to tell what we enjoy most. Is it the daily activities we have to keep us active, informed, and fit? Is it the Hobby Shop where my husband has found his creative side, producing beautiful gift items? Is it the great food options which range from a casual meal, to a full buffet, to our fine dining venue? Some of the menu items are things I’ve never heard of and would have never ordered in a restaurant, but when I try them, they’re outstanding and, if we don’t care for them, there are plenty of other options.<br><br>Let me give you an example. Last week l went to an excellent concert, then went swimming, then ended up in our fine dining restaurant for a meal. What a great day, and all in one place!<br><br>These are all definitely part of Casa but perhaps the greatest joy is the friends we have made. Friends to eat with, to attend activities with, and who willingly share their favorite off campus haunts. It is so much better than just waving to neighbors.<br><br>Best of all when we looked at tax breaks and housing expenses - mortgages, maintenance, projects and even eating out (because who wants to have to try to figure out what to have for dinner every day for the rest of your life), our new cruise life style is no more expensive than running our household.
