Swimming pool
You are very kind and I agree totally. We did hit the lottery to surround ourselves with with wonderful people in The Villages.
QUOTE=MandoMan;1952034]If I wanted to swim laps, I’d swim in a recreation center lap pool. I use my pool a lot, but only to sit in the 92° water with friends and enjoy life. If it were 10 feet square, it would still be big enough for my needs. I never swim in it. I also enjoy watching the pool guy clean it while I sit in my air conditioned living room writing checks for its upkeep. It’s a small pool, but all told, it costs me, with occasional repairs, maybe $250 a month. The jealous people making catty comments about a 68 foot pool should consider the cost. Some people have bigger houses or more toys or bigger incomes, and also bigger expenses, but everyone living in The Villages has won the retirement lottery. It’s like going to heaven: maybe all you get is a tiny basement level efficiency apartment with a dumpster view, but you are still in heaven walking on the streets of gold. We are all winners here.
