i can kind of understand not wanting to trust right off the bat, however we chose to purchase a home in the Villages in large part because we appreciate the standards, quality of life and the safe community. That is really why I named the first post mutual respect. My grandparents raised me so I have a huge amount of respect for my elders. We smile, hold doors open and obey the rules here, it would be nice if some of the less trusting Villagers could just give new people a chance. I am sure we can make friends here, already have with neighbors. I understand cliques, it's part of life, raised two sons to treat others the way they wanted to be treated, you know, the "Golden Rule". YES, there are very nice Villagers, I just did not understand the Cranks. We will try to be here for a Crispers meeting and yes we do plan on having new friends over for wine and snacks.........just as soon as the driveway and lanai has cured so we can get patio furniture out of our living room!
