But, how do you know they are a snowbird?

Since 07, you meet someone new, usually first questions are where are you from, what did you retire from, and what village do you live in. When our parents came to use our homes, never did they say they were renting. Because they weren’t, renting, but using one of homes that we bought just for that purpose.

So unless there is a sticker on someone’s forehead how do you distinguish? Do you just assume because they are not living up to your expectations they are not a frog? Have to be honest, I have played golf with some really nice people, and not so nice, scary, not so scary drivers, rude and really nice people.

Unless you ask, how do you know they are a snowbird, or a renter.

If they answer to either one, does your opinion change so much that you become the not so nice person?
