Delaware Home and Garden Show!

Hi All,

I will be at the Delaware Home and Garden Show today with Mick Kenney, VP of New Homes. Come on by and say hello! It will be a great opportunity to learn all about our sales and building processes, and maybe get something special for your new McKee home! ; )

Love, Jenni

Congratulations to Dennis Rozumalski of Champion's Club for his participation in the Polar Bear Plunge.  Dennis sent us this great picture of him with his lovely, bundled up wife, Margaret, in their Champion's Club hats right after his icy swim. Dennis raised $785 for the Special Olympics. Way to go, Dennis!

Hello Spring!

This weekend I HAVE to work on sprucing up our porch, deck and patio. They are looking raggedy.

So, let's do it together!

Start with a good scrubbing. Sweep the floors and take a broom or dust brush to swipe off spider webs and other gross things from bannisters and "underneaths." Hose down what you can. Quickly windex door side lights, and sliding glass doors.

Once everything is scrubbed and shiny, take covers off of furniture, or take furniture out of storage. Give it a good cleaning! I like Simple Green, or plain old dishsoap.

Add some greenery. Take out your pots, or invest in some new.

Hot tips to personalize:

1) Go to a Paint Your Own Pottery store and put your initials, address or whatever you like on a ceramic pot to have a one-of-a-kind message. On my front step, I am going to have one that says "Welcome" and on my back deck, I might just have one that says "I HEART BBQ" as a little reminder to my husband. That or "WATER ME", as a little reminder to myself.

2) Get a Stepping Stone kit and let your artistry really shine. I like the ones from Midwest Products.

3) Make a unique planter out of your favorite chipped ceramic casserole dishs and display on an old serving cart or bookshelf.

4) Reupholster your deck furniture cushions in a fabric that feels totally you. I like the yellow print below.

 That's all for now. Here is top hoping that I actually get any of this done!
  

Phillies Hot Dogs!

McKee Builders participated in a Meet The Builders Celebrity Chef event for trade partners a couple of weeks ago. Set up by the Delaware Home Builders' Association, the event brings together builders and associates to meet, greet and socialize. Each builder picks a theme and serves up tasty food to go with it!

This year, McKee did Phillies Game Day! Here is our table all set and ready to go!

Ed Goddard, our Sales Manager at Champions Club, writes,

'Working with The McKee Group is a pleasure. Frank McKee is on the side of our Homeowners, making it possible and affordable for us to work together to turn a house into a dream home. After working in custom building for over ten years, it is important to me to work for a company that gives us the freedom to make changes to the home so that our customers can get the home that really works for them.

I truly enjoy what I do for a living and believe that our customers know that. Working with the 55+ age group is just plain fun. This is the time of like when everyone brings something different to the table. The people that we meet, our customers, their knowledge and stories that I get to be a part of every day, is a joy.

Having also worked in property management for fourteen years, custome home building, and now 55+ communities with my wodnerful wife of 28 years by my side, I could not be happier. We too are empty nesters and I'm okay with that - visit my sons, visit often, love you, now go home (my wife may not agree!).

Coming from North Baltimore we would make the annual trek through Dover to the beach every summer with our boys, but we never imagined that we would be living here. We quickly found that we had been passing through a gem called Magnolia, centrally located to Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and a quick 40 minute drive to the beach and the Rehobeth beach outlets.

Come visit us in Magnolia, Delaware. See our homes, tour our clubhouse, meet our Homeowners and you too will fall in love. If not now, when? Enjoy the next chapter in your life with good friends and neighbors. 55+ is not a limit, it's a lifestyle!
