Welcome home!

Many of us enjoy it more every day. I love living with seasoned grown ups surrounded by all this beauty and an opportunity to do something different every day..or just chill on the lanai.

I love it so much that my friends back home don't like for me to talk about it and people who don't know me well here, think I am paid to say stuff.

I hope you love it more and more as you live here for at least a thousand years.

Excellent choice!

It is as great as those before us have said. Welcome to your new home. Just post any question you may have and people will always help you out. Watch for the new comers meeting at Crisper 10/21/16 at 3pm. It's a great way to meet a few of your new Villager neighbors. Take care.

Welcome.

Nucky mentions the Crispers meeting. That is at Southern Trace Shopping Center just north of the Villages High School near the intersection of CR101 and CR466.

My friend Tal--did you just have a dyslexic moment??
What does 466 and 101 in Southern trace have to do with the Regional Hospital by 441/27 and Morse???
And I haven't been to Crispers yet, but 466 and 101 is correct. If you come from the south, just go up Buena Vista to Belvedere Blvd and cut through. When you hit 466 go straight across and it will be in the plaza on your right.

Your directions remind me of college when we sent Freshmen to a non-existent building on a road that was fictional

I am still finding my way around The Villages. Thank goodness for GPS. I will make the 10/21 get together with its help.

I'm sure you'll do fine. BTW, my directions are by auto, if you take your cart it's a bit more complicated.
I've been here a year and circumstances have prevented me from getting to Crisper's, but I hope to make it soon. Hope to see you there, welcome

Oh baby, we dined like Vikings once we got home! When I want real lobster I'm gonna have them imported from Fulton Fish Market or from some joint my sister swears by in Rhode Island. Just waiting for one Really Northern Member of The Lobster Crew before we dine over here at The Love Shack!

Most people think, that one is throwing the bull, when trying to explain TV.

One visit cures them of that perception.

Congrats. Best wishes as you start living the dream.
