Writing a Letter Is a Lost Form - Let’s Bring It Back

Communication is important to all of us. But, when was the last time you wrote a letter? I can almost bet, if you have children, they have never sat down to write a letter.

All of us are well aware of our modern forms of communication – email, texting, Facebook, and even Instagram - that tons of teens use. Somehow, in the modern evolution of technology over the last several years, writing a letter has seemed to completely fall through the cracks.

December is actually “Write a Friend” month. So, here’s a challenge. Write a letter. Pull out your old stationary (or go buy some new), and write someone about what you’ve been involved. It can be a family member, friend, etc. Once you start to write, you might be very amazed at how long your letter becomes.

Encourage your kids (or grandkids), to write a letter to their family members. Hint hint – grandparents love to get a handwritten letter. You might be surprised at how much they enjoy writing to their loved ones. It’s a great rainy day activity, and will more than likely keep them quite occupied!

Fall Leaves – Enjoy Them!

Know the phrase “take the time to smell the roses”? I invite you to take the time to enjoy the fall colors.

Take a look around. Our area is inundated with amazing colors right now. The trees are blazing with orange, yellow, and brown. The leaves are scattered all over the ground. It’s a beautiful time of year to take a walk, enjoy the crisp fall air, and breathe in the scenery before it is all covered in snow.

Walk around your development – or even better – take a stroll through one of our many local parks. Some parks in Bucks County that are great to visit include Lake Towhee in Langhorne, Silver Lake in Bristol Township, Tinicum in Erwinna, and Core Creek located south of Newtown.

All the parks mentioned above offer hiking trails – some also have picnic areas, off-lease dog parks, playgrounds, and boating and fishing areas.

Enjoy this beautiful weather – and get a breath of fresh air!

What will you be this Halloween?

Remember when you were a kid? Pretending to dress up, be a soldier, playing cops and robbers… for most of us, those are what we remember most about our childhood. And some of us might even still have some of those outfits!

Halloween is that one time of the year that we all have the chance to act like our kids. It doesn’t matter if your children are still young, or if they’re grown up and moved away. Everyone has experienced Halloween and the magic of pretending you are someone else for a couple of hours.

Stay safe this Halloween. Have fun with the holiday! If you are handing out candy or treats to trick-or-treaters, keep your porch light on so they can walk up safely. If your children are trick-or-treating, inspect their candy for tears in the wrappers – and don’t let them eat anything that is damaged or torn. Make sure they have a glow stick or flashlight so they can be seen easily by passing cars. Above all, make it memorable. Some of the best conversations you will ever have will happen while you’re walking around, or even while you’re checking out all of the treats they have gathered!
