Now, if only home warranty would finally fix the water issues between my house and the neighbors houses.


We looked at a few houses where you live. I walked between the houses and my feet went squishy squish. The Villages agent told us the irrigation had probably just turned off. It was late in the afternoon. We had been in The Villages for 6 days and it hadn't rained once.
