It’s sort of our way to make fun of the few real aholes that put them down. We also do it when people jump on the great developers and family of this wonderful place we call home. They bitch about something and call them “Greedy Developers” so we turn it around when we see a new rec center or restaurant opening an smile and say “Greedy Developers”. When something new is tried, the snakes come out and blame the Family,
Stop and think, if it were not for the family trying new things, then seeing what works and what doesn’t , we would all still be living in another Florida Trailer Park. So next time you hear the term Snowbird, smile and be thankful for them, many of them will be future Villagers and keep this place growing and vibrant. Yes, there will always be “Negative Nellies” but don’t give them the power to take your joy and fun away. Most are just lonely, miserable people who see the glass as half empty. We all knew kids like that back in school. Some never grow up unfortunately. Smile everyone, in five months, a new wave of Snowbirds will be here, some perpetual, some new, and some last timers. And in 4 short months, they are gone, then who will the negative souls blame for their unhappy lives?
Enjoy life, it is short lived at this stage of our lives, why not make the best of it? We are proud to call this place home, and love “Living the Lifestyle “. 😀😎😇👍

If folks pay amenity fees 12 months per year and only visit 3 months, they are underwriting the expenses for the full-timers. They should be CHEERED, not jeered.
