I have an 89 (90 this yr) old father-in-law who has been legally blind with macular degeneration for about 5-6 years now. Giving up driving and having to depend on his wife for transportation has been very hard on him. He wanted to come to the Villages because I think he was under the impression that he could drive a golf cart and regain some independence. We brought him down last May (From Va.) but he realized that this would not be the answer for him. I don't think he realized how vast the Villages are and that you still need to be able to read signs, etc., in order to get around safely. Needless to say, they did not move here but my husband and I decided we would. We officially moved in Nov 1 and Love it here. Hopefully we will realize when it is time for us to stop driving--automobile or golf cart. Love the TOTV and have enjoyed reading all the posts since I found this site--very informative and entertaining.
