Hey friends,

We have 2 weeks until my mom becomes a full time Villager. She is getting nervous, anxious, scared, excited, etc about what to expect. If the move doesn't drive us both batty, I am banking on she is going to do just fine down there. Just wondering if anyone can share some advice for a new Villager. Anything related to being a new resident, how to cut costs, how to make friends, what things she must have (surge protectors?), what things can she do without for now, anything you can offer based on your experiences. Would you do anything different, if you had the chance to start over in TV?

She is a widower, and I guess that is where some of her anxiety comes from. I will be down for a few days with the move, but sadly can't stay a long time because of my job. I know she will be fine, but any advice you can give will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
