So happy for all of you living the dream down there. Here's to many more years of enjoyment and good health ahead....... And hey, save some of that fun for the rest of us who are still trying to get there.

Beer and prayer in the same post? That seems like NOTHING but wrong.
I remember being in The Villages starting gate waiting for the gun to go off. The first time we sold our house it was in about 3 days. I had to delay and kill the deal. When we put the house back on the market, CRICKETS! Zero, Zip, Nada. The day after I asked the realtor for an unconditional release from the contract, Bingo we have a winner, sold.

The struggle to get here is worth it. Nothing is perfect but this operation is very close, so far.

Our biggest disappointment was after Irma, no electric for so long was rough on people we care about who had no place to go. It was a rough one though so I think the power companies get a pass as long as lessons have been learned and thing go smoother next time. We have responsibilities also to do the smart thing to survive a catastrophic storm. I don't mind telling you I was scared. I not a rookie anymore. Now I'm ready.
