We got to know each other and socialized together. I still count some of the "oldies" as my dearest friends.
Now with The Villages growing and a huge TOTV membership, things have changed a lot.
People seem busier now with neighborhood gatherings, golf, lunch with friends, groups such as Parrotheads, etc.
I don't think it's a bad thing -- just a sign of the times.
Well said Barefoot. The growth of the villages does have an inpact and I believe TOTV grew as more and more people were looking for answers concerning their move here. There are a lot of members here Ellen and I wish we got to meet.
