Hi Parks61 and tgelkamy!! Welcome to TOTV. And welcome to THE VILLAGES, FL. You are going to love it. I purchased a house on my first visit back in April. Can't move down there till April '09 and I can't wait. You guys will not believe how easy it is to mingle and join in at the squares, at the pools, anywhere in TV. Graciegirl is right in that married peeps treat us singles the same as they treat their married friends. It is just amazing. You have come to the right place to make friends and feel included. Just \as Redwitch said, give out a holler and somebody will meet you at the designated place. tgelkamy: You must eat at Amelia's (the restaurant in the Waterfront Inn). Great food and you'll have to try the raspberry cheesecake - JUST TO DIE FOR GOOD. Try to eat outside around sunset. It's gorgeous. Also try Lighthouse Point Cafe around sunset - another treat not to be missed. Look for the baby alligator. Last time I was there he made an appearance (around 10 pm on a Sat. night). The waitress spotted him. She even named him. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
