It's great to have the Villages amenities and features all around as a barrier to the " real " world . I was in Spanish Springs recently and realized that it was the first visit there in about 2 years .
Just returned from a 2 week trip up North to visit family and friends . It was great , much that I miss . However I was happy to return , especially with every conversation eventually turning to the fact that it would be soon time to get prepared for Winter !

As we age, which is inevitable, we notice how convenient it is to live within TV and to have the convenience of either using a car or a golf cart to get around. We have friends who live on the beach in a far northern State in a beautiful home, but they are miles from shopping, movie theaters, restaurants (other than eat in the rough places which close in the winter), and most of their neighbors leave for the winter. She remarked that she had to drive an hour to a local movie theater, meet her friends, watch the movie and drive back in the pitch blackness of a Northern night with no street lights. Getting old is so much easier and more comfortable in TV.
