December 19, 2023Goings OnAm I the only one or have you noticed over the recent past, the casual and careless tossing around of a primary word of distinction? “Awesome!”
The word indicates something striking in presence or effect. It virtually takes your breath away, stops you in your tracks. It’s something substantial. And even these descriptors do not do it justice. The word is reserved for the very few encounters. And yet, it has become a catch-phrase. You’ve likely heard the abuse.
“Okay, I’ll pick you up at 5 tonight.”
“Awesome!”
“I have two Pepsi’s in the cooler.”
“That’s awesome.”
Really, are these mundane events deserving of being awesome?
And then you have that gut-wrenching phrase: “It’s awesome, dude.”
A word reserved for the most spectacular significance relegated to the ordinary, the unremarkable, the routine. Another loss of sensibility.
Summerfields Friendly Village: An experience of significance.
What makes an experience stunning is the creative thought that went into it. All it takes is one personal visit to Summerfields and you will immediately understand what cannot be fully conveyed in pictures and words in a website. And that is why you should call today and make an appointment.

November 29, 2023Goings OnI’ve noticed for some time now, that words spoken by employees in retail outlets has become out of hand (or should I say, out of mouth)? And it’s my pet peeve. Here then in the most annoying.
Even when I say thanks a clerk, “Thanks for your help,” I say.
The response is most often, “No problem!”
When I ask to see a watch in the glass case and afterward say, “Thank you.”
Again I get, “No problem.”
Really?
What does this mean? “No problem,” meaning it could have been a problem? Or that it was no problem going out of your way to help me or answer my question? Does this response tell me in some coded way that the service provided was a bother since it turned out to be, no problem? I think from now of I will respond to that response by asking, “Well, I had no idea what I asked you could have posed such a problem for you.” I can only wonder what look would come across her face at hearing that?
I suppose we can only conclude that anyone born after 1980 felt it necessary to transform the ag-old, “You’re welcome,” with “No problem.” However, it doesn’t stop there. The traditional thank you also has other replacements. I’m sure you’ve heard them: “No worries!” “Anytime!” “Of course!” “Sure thing!” “Uh huh!” We have certainly lost stability. I’m sure this isn’t going to change anytime soon even if we begin to call it out. As for me I’m going to do just that!

October 31, 2023Community's LifestyleTurns out, good friends are actually good for health, and can help you celebrate good times and stand with you in the bad times. Friendships increase a sense of belonging. Self-worth and self-confidence are increased in friendships.
According to many studies, friends also play a significant role in promoting your overall health. People in strong social relationships have a reduced risk of significant health problems. Developing and maintaining good friendships takes effort, but is worthwhile.
It’s important to work at relationships by staying in touch, reconnecting with old friends. You can both make new friends and nurture existing relationships. How about attending community events or volunteering. Joining a chat group or online community might help you make connections.

August 16, 2023Community's LifestyleLife has a way of teaching us that not every adventure that looks good should be the road taken. What’s more, it gave me an attitude necessary for living and that is, keep going forward because the conditions you face today will likely change tomorrow. And if you’ve been moving forward, you’ll be where you need to be. But do be watchful for any ravines.
“Just because you’re standing in the front of the room facing everyone, doesn’t make you a leader.” People need to believe in you and what you are passionate to achieve. But even the most passionate vision cannot move forward without strong leadership. Over the years in my work with clients I came to formulate four functions required to be an effective leader:
Leadership of self.
Leadership of others.
Leadership of things.
Leadership of circumstances.
If you are in a leadership role, (not just business but family, relationships etc.) give this consideration. It will go a long way to support you and those around you.
Summerfields Friendly Village, proof of leadership in living well
Leadership holds “living value.” In other words, it’s decisions are proven out over time. Such is the case with Summerfields Friendly Village. It truly sums up what quality living can offer along with low maintenance, home design, flexibility, savings and a community that supports one another. The leadership decisions made by The Temple Companies has shown the wisdom in reality in this unparalleled community of note, on every level of expectation. And you can experience it yourself with a casual and un-pressured visit. Contact us today.

July 19, 2023Community's LifestyleWhen I was a child, I learned that a magnifying glass could burn a piece of paper, when the rays of the sun were focused through it. The fire could start only when the sun’s rays were concentrated to a small point. When the magnifying glass was moved too far away or too close to the paper, the rays were not focused enough, and nothing happened. This experience describes vividly the power of concentration. Concentration can be described as focused attention. It is the ability to direct the attention to one single thought or subject, to the exclusion of everything else.
Perhaps the art of attention is more necessary now than ever. We live in constant noise and interruptions with signs, advertising, phones and other devices. When our mind is focused, our energies are not dissipated on irrelevant activities or thoughts. This is why developing concentration is essential to anyone who aspires to take charge of his or her life. This skill is essential for every kind of success. Without it, our efforts get scattered, but with it, we can accomplish great things.
Summerfields Friendly Village Magnifies Opportunities
There isn’t much that requires and demands more concentration than where you will live your life. That is precisely what all age Summerfields Friendly Village provides. A concentrated community of low maintenance, low cost, and low overhead, the factors that do not require your concern anymore. This allows you to concentrate on the things you want to do and enjoy life in a new and wonderful way. Call us today and see this for yourself. We will properly concentrate on you as our guest.

June 22, 2023Goings OnIf a farmer were to plant corn, he certainly would not expect a crop of tomatoes to grow would he? If he were to plant no seeds how could he expect any harvest at all? The old timers planted their wheat by “broadcasting,” the seeds. They did this by throwing it on the soil in a fan shaped arm swing. We get what we plant but only if we apply proven principles: the soil was prepared, seed planted in season, and all the appropriate care provided. Then we earn an extraordinary harvest. Living out of our extraordinary-ness is a privilege.
Regardless of the extraordinary gifts we have, creating positive outcomes takes nurturing and time. We must remember this and not become frustrated: Everything starts small. The tallest gardens started in microscopic form. The high-rise buildings around us started small. Fields of corn started out small. Blue whales started small. Global businesses started small. Hey, you started out small! Everything in existence started out small. The ancient Jewish writings proclaim, “Do not despise the day of small beginnings.” (Zechariah 4:10).
Summerfields Friendly Village: A strong Start.
When this amazing all-age community was conceived, it was a dream in the mind. Then it moved to a blueprint. Then it developed into reality. The harvest, so to speak, is what the community is today. A homeowner’s opportunity. Sometimes we miss opportunities due to not taking action. We are here to help you determine what will be superbly suited to your life. Contact us today.

May 18, 2023Community's LifestyleThe purpose of this post is to encourage you not to give up on a goal or dream. Failure is often the process that leads to success.
Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and failed a first business shot with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, called Traf-O-Data. Only later did he launch Microsoft.
Orville and Wilbur Wright battled depression and family illness before starting the bicycle shop. Years of hard work, and failed prototypes, they finally created a plane that could sustain flight.
Soichiro Honda began with a series of failures and fortunate turns of luck. He was turned down by Toyota for a job after interviewing as an engineer, leaving him jobless for quite some time. He started making scooters of his own at home, and spurred on by his neighbors, finally started his own business.
Akio Morita started Sony. His first product was a rice cooker that didn’t cook rice so much as burn it. It didn’t even sell 100 units. That energized him to push on to create the multi-billion-dollar company.
Albert Einstein’s name, synonymous with genius, didn’t start out well. He did not speak until he was four and did not read until he was seven. He was thought to be mentally challenged, slow and anti-social. He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. Following many failures he went on to win the Nobel Prize and changed modern physics.
The list goes on and on, and you may be just as qualified to be on it. But to do so you must overcome failures and press on.
Summerfields Friendly Village, a winning reality.
The failure to develop a community for all-age homeowners that stood at a higher caliber of quality was the driving force that moved the Temple Companies to do something about it. They understood the need for such a community and have created an exceptional way to enjoy homeownership with distinction. Contact us today to learn more.

April 18, 2023Community's LifestyleIf you would, give me the liberty to rant a bit. I spent my career working in several ad agencies. Clients expected and deserved solid creative concepts that told convincing stories about products which attracted consumers to purchase. In the current climate a great many commercials are at a loss to develop real creative concepts. It seems that whenever you can’t solve a client’s sales problem with a real, effective solution, you just have people dancing and leaping to music. There is no connection whatsoever between the dancing and the product in the commercial.
Then you have the fast walkers. The commercial has a spokesperson walking fast through a car showroom or along a street. You notice how they are doing their best to walk fast and talk fast and keep balance.
Here again, there’s no reason, no alignment between the dancing and fast walking and the product. It’s just a technique to use when there’s no good ideas generated. And the worst part is that marketing executives are paying ad agencies for this nonsense. I wonder what the CEO thinks when he sees such a brainless commercial for his products/services. I suppose we’ve answered that question since these types of commercials keep coming.
Summerfields Friendly Village, a creative concept in reality.
You can live in a creative concept that offers practicality. Enjoy a lifestyle you desire in this all-age community. Visit with friends and family in the spacious clubhouse or take a swim in Olympic size pool. Historic Center City Philadelphia and Atlantic City are only a short drive away, as are many activities along the famous New Jersey inland waterway.

March 9, 2023Community's LifestyleVery likely many of us at one time or another head the words, “That’s just pie in the sky,” as response to some notion or dream or goal we announced. Typically those words were effectively discouraging. I had a friend in younger days who lived in Germany. His father, and his father, and his father were all engineers. When he announced that he wanted to work as an illustrator in advertising, he heard the words, “That’s just pie in the sky (in the German version), we are all engineers in this family.” He was promptly told that he would continue the family tradition and besides, his father noted, doing drawings would leave him starving in the street.
Here is one of his illustrations
Not to be deterred, my friend finally convinced his father and came to the USA for a few months to investigate opportunities. He showed his portfolio of illustrations to a few ad agencies and was hired right away. He worked in the agency for a year. He then returned to Germany and opened his own graphic design firm which became extremely successful. So when you hear pie in the sky, reach up, grab it and eat a big slice.
Summerfields Friendly Village, a pie in the sky success.
Those who hold on to their passion do get to reach for the pie. Summerfields Friendly Village, all age community exists because the designers and builders did just that. And you and many others can now enjoy the dream. So come join us and be part of it. Call us today.

February 28, 2023Goings OnHow many amazing ideas, businesses, products, services, bodies of knowledge, and innovations started as a scribble on a napkin? You liked shared yours with a friend, took out a Sharpie and mapped out the vision right there on a napkin at the table. There it lay, in black ink on a one-dimensional surface waiting for life to engage it, to inflate it, challenge it to become reality.
In those early days you had to blow your own wind into your sails. You knew however, somewhere just ahead, something awaited you. Think of the Wright Brothers whose wings awaited a push to leap into the sky, a place everyone accepted, belonged only to animals with wings and not humans. And yet those passionate people came to learn the great secret: The little napkin of ideas and dreams has to be made into a sail that takes you to a destiny. Think about that today. What’s on your napkin, maybe it’s time to get that napkin out and reignite the idea.

January 31, 2023Community's LifestyleAfter high school, I prepared for college. My mother sat me down and said it was important to know how to iron my clothes and handle basic sewing. She pointed out that at school I would have limited funds. She never sent to me school with wrinkled or torn clothes. That would be unacceptable. (I’m surprised she didn’t mention clean underwear.) So, she gave me lessons.
At college, I lost a button on an expensive shirt. Still wearing pajamas, I draped the shirt over my knee and sewed. “Wow, I did it,” I proclaimed, and then stood up only to find that I had sewn part of the shirt to my pajamas. Well, I didn’t hear the end from my roommate. But wait! I was in the laundry room ironing pants and got busy chatting with a gal. Instead of keeping the iron moving, I was too busy talking to her, and she simply pointed her finger at the ironing board. Smoke rose, only to display a burn patch the shape of an iron on my pants. I could only wish it was my roommate standing there instead of her. She was gracious. I was embarrassed. Ugh! I will say that numerous times afterward, I did sew buttons and expertly ironed my clothes.

December 22, 2022Community's LifestyleLet’s chat a bit about being creative. It’s unfortunate that so many people have been convinced that they aren’t creative. I believe this stems from connecting creativity specifically with art, writing, acting, performing and so on. But these are only sectors of creativity and not its final definition.
Any time you solve a problem you use a creative process. In other words, you take what already exists and combine it with other ideas, information, and notions to come up with a solution. There’s no “magic,” or specialty in this process. Creativity isn’t making something new but a combination of other things in a new mix.
Essentially, you take what you know and look at it from new angles and approaches and fitting it all together. One of the keys to succeeding here is not to try and be creative, look at the challenge and begin to think about what relates and what doesn’t. Pay attention to the things that don’t typically fit. Often that’s where part of the solution is generated. Don’t over think it or you will stop before your go far enough. Look toward things that are not routine but beyond the norm. It’s time to go for it; turn the light on.
Creativity isn’t always about being realistic. It’s about breaking mental boundaries. Robert Epstein’s book, The Big Book of Creativity Games, suggests that we should broaden our horizons by signing up for a course that’s outside our normal view of things.
Summerfields Friendly Village: Expectation Delivered.

November 22, 2022NewsWe all want to get things done and have more time to do what we want. One way to achieve that is by increasing the way you are productive. Here’s a thought on achieving greater productivity in any area. It’s the first and the biggest mountain to climb: Digital Gadgets. Yep, it’s that phone of yours. It can become another appendage to your mental state. It really is imperative that you make time to shut the cell phone down, not on mute, but OFF! Most people are unwilling to actually track how much time they use on the phone or using its apps etc. You would be startled.
Most mobile phone users spend 3.5 to 5.4 hours on the phone, and they check their phones some 60 plus times a day. That accounts for tremendously lost productivity. Even while driving, 63 percent check their phones.
Forget techniques, the only way to increase your productivity; personally or at work is not by doing 3-step methods or trying to trick yourself. It may work for a bit but doesn’t last. You must decide to cut back on things that eat up productive time. That’s the only way to achieve control. No gimmicks or pop psychology. You must make the decision.
Summerfields Friendly Village: you want to talk productivity?
It isn’t just the home designs and affordability. It isn’t just the lovely environment. There’s also a spacious clubhouse, Olympic size pool and variety of recreational opportunities such as golf courses, historical sites, and attractions right in the surrounding area.
Plus, Historic Center City Philadelphia and Atlantic City are only a short drive away, as are boating and fishing along the famous New Jersey inland waterway. It’s quite a high productivity lifestyle. Make today productive by calling to meet us.

October 26, 2022Goings OnTurns out we love nicknames. They are casual and easy to remember. It’s as though we find it too taxing to call Nicholas, Nicholas. Nick or Nicky is smoother and faster to pass through the lips. In ancient times name were much more important than they are today, and the name usually meant something.
We come up with nicknames for people not just to shorten the name but to represent them. Our football team had a linebacker called “Stump.” He was unmovable on the line.
Nicknames are everywhere and all over people.
• Charles: Chuck.
• Joann: Joe.
• Allison: Ali.
• Robert: Bob.
• Richard: Dick.
• Michael: Mike.
• Jennifer: Jenn
• Emily: Emmy.
• William: Will.
• Rose: Ro.
• Louis. Lou.
Nicknames are more prevalent in the sports world,
• Michael Jordan: Air Jordon.
• Earvin Johnson: Magic.
• Joe Frazier. Smokin Joe.
• Florence Griffith-Joyner. Flo Jo.
• Dale Ernhardt, Sr. The Intimidator.
So, it seems to me that the most likely reason we nickname people is a way of showing appreciation and/or love. Of course, some nicknames seem outlandish. Elon Musk named his son, X Æ A-12 Musk. No one is quite sure how to pronounce it.
Summerfields Friendly Village, All Age Community, a proven name with trust.
Summerfields Friendly Village could easily gain the nickname that has something to do with,, “Freedom Variety.” Homeowners here enjoy freedom from high monthly costs and a variety of home designs. Here is another benefit.
Instead of buying the land on which your home is sited, you lease your homesite. Generally speaking, you have the same rights of enjoyment on your leased site, and you’ll enjoy all the amenities, and services of a conventional adult community, with no upfront property costs. There’s no real estate taxes, or association fees. You simply pay an easy monthly land lease fee; simple. You must consider this benefit now. Call us today.

September 14, 2022Ask the ExpertSorry Mt. Everest, you’re not the tallest.
It’s the highest mountain, 29,029 feet, but not the tallest. The winner is Hawaii’s Mauna Kea Volcano at 33,476 feet.
Lakes Exploding?
Africa has volcanic gases rise to the lake surface like explosions. Below Lake Nyos sits a 950-mile chain of volcanoes. Gases came to the surface, an exploding 1.6 million tons of carbon-dioxide in a 160 feet high cloud.
Watered down gold.
Scientists estimate that the oceans contain 20 million tons of gold. On the ocean floor and in the water itself, in tiny particles of 13 billionths of a gram per liter.
Now That’s Deep.
The Mariana Trench, an underwater canyon in the Pacific Ocean is 35,813 feet deep. It’s home to unique lifeforms.
Gravity weight loss.
Due to an uneven shaped globe, gravity is unevenly distributed. Some places have lower or higher gravity like Canada’s Hudson Bay.
It’s alive and the largest.
The Great Barrier Reef, a system of about 3,000 individual reefs– The largest in the world, spanning 1,243 miles; the only living structure observable from space.
Don’t feel like you’re moving at 1,000 miles per hour?
Feel like you’re standing still, well, you’re moving about 1,000 miles per hour as earth spins. People on the equator move the fastest. People on the North or South pole stand still.
The world’s driest place and wettest place.
The Atacama Desert in Chile is the driest place on earth but sits next to the biggest body of water on earth—the Pacific Ocean. NASA studies it for living in extreme climates.

August 30, 2022Goings OnExpectation is a real force, an energy that one can use in life challenges and opportunities. It’s not magic, but rather a way to drive us toward something we want. When your mind locks in on expecting something you will find that you begin to set and achieve goals. Studies have shown that expectation is more than a thought or feeling, it triggers action on your part.
It’s not a wish sandwich
Years ago I heard someone make the statement; “The last thing you need is a wish sandwich. You have a slice of bread in your right hand and a slice of bread in your left hand, then wish you had something to put between them.” Expectation isn’t some magic formula that materializes what you want. You can “expect” all day, but without some effort you will keep on expecting. Expectation is form of accelerant, it keeps you going, pursuing, and finding. It’s really about determination which is what expectation ignites.
Summerfields Friendly Village: Expectation Delivered.
An all-age community of beautiful homes designed to take homeowners beyond the typical notion of home ownership. Spacious rooms, lovely, styled kitchens, and true low maintenance exteriors. All you need now is to expect to be here in person and see for yourself what home ownership can really do for your life.

July 14, 2022Goings OnThey say that business, work, and life never get easier. That can be both true and false. The outside world is relatively the same all the time. There’s good times and bad times. The real key to what happens to us, at least for the most part, is our outlook, our attitude. Of course, one must be realistic. You cannot fix every challenge that life brings out. But overall, the best thing is to get through it relatively well mentally.
Everything begins and ends with our state of mind. They say that you are what you eat. They also say you are what you think. And that is much more powerful. As time goes on one gains wisdom, which in practical terms means using knowledge very well for the right outcome. In other words, you become sharper based on gained experienced. That allows you to deal more effectively with those unexpected challenges in life. In other words, someone said it so powerfully, “We cannot change the wind, but we can adjust our sails.” Now that is a wonderful way to live and face what comes whether good or bad.
The way we respond is going to have a lot to do with how situations go along and end. It really is our responsibility to be prepared to saddle our minds and direct our reactions. When this becomes a practice, life will seem simpler, because it is, because you are alert and in control.
Summerfields Friendly Village –it’s always been sharper.
If you build something to last and hold value you have to be sharper than the other guy, as they say. You’ll find Summerfields Friendly Village to be stunningly well-thought-out.

June 29, 2022NewsThere are more books and seminars on leading than one could consume. Proven leadership principles apply in all situations, whether leading a family, team, company and especially yourself. There is a need for effective leaders. When I conducted management seminars, I taught on the 4 areas of leadership:
Leadership of self.
Leadership of others.
Leadership of things.
Leadership of circumstances.
It really isn’t effective leadership unless one can deal with all four. In terms of a few key basics, leaders should work at the following:
State of mind. That is to say, your attitude. Are you fixed on adding or bringing value to what you are involved?
Respect. There are, believe it or not, people around you who are smarter than you and may have insights that can bring improvement, but that means moving your ego aside.
Eliminate Excuses. There can always be some unexpected hindrance and in some of those cases there may well be a reason for some delay or challenge, however there can never be an excuse.
Always Learn. No matter how high you rise in any position, you haven’t “arrived,” because new challenges require new thinking and approaches. So, always be open to learn and grow.
No Imposters. Don’t ever try to be someone you are not. The actress and singer, Judy garland said it right: “Don’t ever be a second rate someone else when you should be a first rate you.”
Accept Reality. Reality is not what you prefer it to be. It isn’t what you think it is. It isn’t what you expected. It is what actually is. Deal with that and enjoy success.
Summerfields Friendly Village, a Place of Leadership
Someone had to step up and take the lead when people wanted something more than a mortgage and maintenance and high costs. The Temple Companies stepped into that leadership role and created a way to live well with low overhead. The idea was to provide a community that offered more than a house and picket fence. It is truly about a lifestyle for all ages. Frankly, all the photos and wording on the website are helpful, but there’s nothing like seeing it for yourself
