Thumbs up

My husband is in his 70's and I am 51. My parents have lived in TV for almost ten years now, and we have been visiting them for two weeks every spring. When I first learned that my parents were moving to a "retirement community", I was concerned. They are both vibrant people, and I had the typical preconception of a retirement community. When I actually experieced TV, I was truly impressed. I could not believe how incredible it was. I was concerned about meeting/seeing anyone my age (then in my 40's) during our visit, but we met so many people of different ages and from diverse backgrounds and everyone was truly friendly. Every year we go back, we make more wonderful memories. If TV does not make you feel younger and allow for ANY type of activity/involvement you desire, then there is no place in the US that will. I wish that we could become residents, but we have a minor child. It is truly a wonderful place. If there is any negative, it would be that it just keeps growing and getting SO big. Other than that, you have absolutely nothing to lose. As for being too old - there is no such thing. The residents of TV are having the time of their lives! My advice would be to get packin'!
