Longhorn Village Retirement Community

A huge thank you to Frank Cavitt and the H***y Tonk Band for bringing the boot-stompin’, hand-clappin’, good ol’ country fun right to our own backyard!

From toe-tapping tunes to smiles all around, it was an afternoon to remember. We even spotted a few dancers showing off their moves! 🎸💃

Fun in the sun, well, maybe not too much sun!

The temperatures are rising here in Austin, but we’re still finding plenty of ways to stay cool indoors this summer. Consider joining a new group like our resident book club, or take a swim in our enclosed swimming pool. If you’re looking for something more on the competitive side, take a seat and join a game of Mexican Train Dominoes.

May was a busy month here at Longhorn Village! From educational discussions and festive Cinco de Mayo celebrations to memorable trips to Fredericksburg, our calendar was packed with exciting activities for residents.

Check out a few photos from a special presentation by Admiral Bill McRaven, Dr. Nan McRaven and Susan Engelking, who wrote Legends and Leaders. They spoke with residents about the power of leadership and the importance of finding purpose in life.

Take flight with Part 1 of our two-part travel tips series. Whether you’re heading out of the U.S. or flying a few states over, here are three tips to pack in your carry-on as you head out on your next adventure:

1. If flying makes you anxious, consider arriving early and wearing loose, breathable clothing. Staying comfortable on board can make the trip smoother and help you relax.
2. Airline staff can also be a friendly go-to for any assistance and extra support.
3. Most importantly, what’s on your mind can set the mood for the whole trip, so don’t forget to pack your excitement AND a positive mindset.

Consider your plane flight the first part of your adventure! Let us know in the comments if you have any summer flight plans in your itinerary this year.

Retirement is a time for fun, learning and creativity, and living in a community like Longhorn Village makes it easy to embrace all three! With more time, space and energy, residents can explore new interests or dive deeper into the hobbies they already love.
