Yes, fellow Villagers, our new friends, our new family, our friends and family up north, everyone.....YES, we are still in UTOPIA! The article called this a "really big problem"? Almost 4 years of living and working here and it is "UN believable" Yes, 07, it is our time! We are home. We work, but sure have a lot of active fun times, in "LEISUREVILLE". When we are retirement age we will work less and volunteer MORE, hopefully! .........My hubbys parents talked and talked about "someday" spending winters in florida. We brought them to FL. many times through the years for our family vacations.... Well, "someday" never happened. We started to say "someday" a lot. It was almost an honor to move here for them. My Dad visited and loved it here. He was not a golfer, but sure loved dancing with all the "gorgeous girls" here! He loved "rokin" :hot: ......I guess its in the blood! LOL My Dad also said he might like to move here "someday". Then he passed away this last Nov. :'( .... Other family and friends have visited and said "someday"...... life is just too short to say "someday". Our children have said they will not sell our house when we die. Of course we told them its a long, long time till that happens! ;D Our son (golfer) and his fiance up north want to be able to come here to Utopia for winters when his family has grown. We hope that our little slice of paradise is passed future generations!! A Toast to UTOPIA!!! HOME SWEET HOME!!
