I called The Villages information folks to find out since we are in the same situation of living together but not married, for 11 years. I was told, and I looked it up and saw it in writing, that IF WE HAVE DRIVERS LICENSES THAT SHOW BOTH OF US WITH THE SAME ADDRESS, EVEN IF THE ADDRESS IS NOT IN FLORIDA, that I could get a 3-year blue ID card because Paula owns the home in The Villages. We fell in love with the atmosphere, the people, the activities after our second, 3-month visit and so Paula purchased a home in the Silver Lake area. We look forward to spending a much longer time in The Villages this winter (for me) and fall/winter (for Paula). I hope this helps. As a 43-year newspaper editor, I've learned to check Internet forum information with the official sources. And to get it in writing so there's no confusion. I'll be flying down in December for 10 days to purchase a golf cart to park on Paula's driveway, and to have it repainted with a "WV" and West Virginia University Mountaineers blue and gold colors. Any suggestions about that would be welcomed.
