Sometimes when I am riding in the cart with Helene to go to an art activity at Laurel Manor, I think that Millionaires in the past, extremely wealthy people like the Vanderbilts, couldn't have lived much differently than all of us do who live in The Villages.
There are miles and miles and miles of perfectly beautiful landscaping, dozens of golf courses and tennis courts maintained by others, flowers changed out every eight weeks, gorgeous large structures where we can go to craft or to paint or to dance or to listen or to play cards. Entertainment every night if we want to attend, enjoyable people to meet who each have interesting life stories............
Sometimes I even think, that if there is no heaven, at least I got to live like I am in Paradise.
