Do you continue with all your usual activities in the summer, or do you tend to remain inside where there is A/C? And how did things change once you made that commitment to live year round in TV.
Thanks for all replies.

I have lived in Florida since 1985 full time. Retiring to the Villages 8 years ago. The summer just is a change of pace and habits. During the Summer you do things early in the day and plan for less strenuous things in the afternoon. Yard work is always done early, swimming may be done later. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a must in the summer as is a wide brim hat. You adapt your lifestyle according to your interests around the heat. Some days you do stay in and catch up on reading or other chores. Other days you go out and have fun, but take gator aide and sweatbands or old packs to keep cool while you golf etc.. Your water intake should increase dramatically during the summer and it is a good idea just to get in the habit of having a bottle of H2O with you everywhere you go. Sometimes it is hard to make the transition back to cool weather when you have been here as long as I have....I miss the heat occasionally.
