On Monday, I decided to embrace the beautiful day by driving my Honda 110 Scooter to a club meeting at Laurel Manor Recreation Center. After the meeting was over I returned to the parking lot only to find out that my scooter wouldn't start and that my battery was dead. Thumper, who happened to be parked next to me, offered to help me by jumping the battery. When it became obvious the battery was dead and couldn't be recharged Thumper offered to return to his home and retrieve his brand new trailer to eventually transport my scooter home. In the meantime, our new friend Jimmie Stuck appeared and also attempted to get my scooter going but to no avail. Shortly afterwards, Thumper returned and he and Jimmie loaded up my scooter and transported me home safe and sound.

I must say I was both delighted and amazed by the generosity of both these men and their mutual willingness to disrupt their day by giving me a hand. I can't thank them enough for their kindness. So it appears to be true, The Villages is the friendliest and most helpful place to live !!

Not at all surprised, but nonetheless delighted. Isn't this a wonderful place to live?
