The Older You Get the Faster Time Flies The beauty of The Landings should not be overlooked, especially the scenery. The variety of palms and the light and dark green colors of the tree leaves in the spring, winter, summer and fall are lush and always magnificent no matter which road you walk on throughout the community; not to mention the budding of flowers are always pretty no matter what time of year, it is sometimes breath taking!
Not all places have this beauty in Sarasota. We are lucky enough to have the best of both worlds. Our Siesta Key beach with its powdered crystal sand only minutes away, and is one of the best beaches in the country. The warm Gulf waters changes color daily with the weather. The birds and the occasional sail boats pleasantly dot the scenery. When we look up, our clouds seem like our mountain ranges. Just take a breath and enjoy the
pleasant beach air. The beauty of nature is not to be overlooked. If you find yourself lonely or bored, think about coming to the Racquet Club for tea or coffee and some conversation in the morning. If you are looking for some new interest or projects, think about coming out to join our book club; card games; movie nights or trivia on Tuesday. You can find tennis games, or swimming groups, and explore the exercise room.

You will even find a surprise Ping/Pong table in there. We recently had an impressive art show; many afternoon discussion groups; and a wonderful music presentation by our Landoliers. Also, many activities offer delicious refreshments donated by us all. How great it is to see so many turn out! No wonder it seems like time flies when you are busy!
