I remember being told our group was being held back because some members of the family showed up unannounced and wanted to play golf. The people behind the curtain say they believe in The Villages vision. So, my question is, do they live it? If so, why don't they tell us what they think and feel? Perhaps there is legal counsel in the woodpile.
I got an email with a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Morse at the new dinner theatre. It was sent to me by a long time Talk of the Villages poster, and the very first person to welcome us to The Villages in person. She said the Morses were seated in the next row in front of them and that she quietly went up to them at intermission and said "Thank you for this lovely place". She said they were very gracious. The picture shows them both dressed casually. People who have known the family in Michigan have approached me to tell me what nice people they truly are. My take is that they work a lot. I like that in anyone and I understand it. It is how we were able to move here.

So, I don't know but could guess there will be another town square down the road.....................do you know?

Same day tee time.....why not use the 3 day request. Waiting the same day leads to disappointment.

What does legal counsel in the woodpile mean?
