It's National Aviation Week: the perfect time to celebrate Don Thiel's love of radio controlled model airplanes! He built his first plane in 1958 and grew his fleet to 25 prior to moving to Silver Maples. Don currently has 6 planes (ranging from 18 inches to 7 feet), 1 helicopter and 1 drone. Additionally, he's a member of the Scio Flyers Model Airplane Club which meets weekly off Zeeb Road in Ann Arbor. Fly on Don - we love that you still enjoy this cool hobby! #nationalaviationweek

You’ll be surprised to learn the cost difference between your own home and a retirement neighborhood may not be as great as you might think. In this post we’ll compare the two options and provide certain aspects to consider for each. silvermaples.org/senior-living-cost-comparison/

Ice cream....a tasty treat that never disappoints! It's especially yummy when you can enjoy it on a warm summer afternoon with friends. The serene courtyard at Silver Maples and the cutting garden with all its gorgeous blooming flowers were an ideal backdrop for our summer events.
