What Riddle Village residents are excited about

“There’s so many things we can do here, but I’m definitely going to use the putting this year. I also want to give cornhole a try, and I do enjoy going outside for a brisk walk. There are so many activities we can do here, and I’m looking forward to a great spring!” – Martha Daly

“I’m going with Middletown Township to go see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Then, I’m going to Chautauqua in New York for a week seminar to hear a lecture on foreign services. I’m excited for upcoming trips.” – Clinton Britt

“I’m already looking forward to Fourth of July! I go to my niece’s for an annual party. There are many kids that play cornhole, and we talk and laugh.” – Dorothy Armezzani

“I’m looking forward to starting up bocce, that begins in a few weeks. I play tennis so I’m excited to get outside since I’ve been playing indoors. I’m looking forward to the nicer weather!” – Jeff Schmitt 

“I’m excited for more opportunities to be outside with the dog! I want to get outside and walk more, and there’s a spring concert for the Riddle Village singers coming up that I’m a part of.” Carol Crown

“I’m involved in bocce, putting, and just walking outdoors. I’m looking forward to this season on the courtyard!” – Richard Glover

“I’m really looking forward to more time in the courtyard. Whether it’s bocce or putting, I’m just looking forward to being out there with a group of people.” – Barbara Hickey

“I’m definitely looking forward to going down the shore. I have a friend with a place in Sea Isle that I always go to. We are friends from high school so that goes back a long time, and we always enjoy our time together. I always go down in the spring, summer, and fall.” – Joan Abbott

I’ve got a house at the shore and one of my son in laws has a boat so we’re looking forward to being down at the shore like we have been doing for years. That’s one of the big attractions in my family since I’ve got 8 grandkids! I go down for a week at a time starting in the spring.” – Bert McGann

“I do have plans. I made reservations this summer for Avalon, and I’ll be going to Sea Isle with my daughter. I also have a college reunion coming up. I keep busy!” – Eleanor Currie
