My brother's first wife and kids missed us when we moved from Palm Harbor, FL in 2005 but I went back there on-and-off for seven or so years. They babysat a lot for my younger brother and his wife.

These kids have visited the Villages but are now grown up as so had the kid(s) of my younger brother. My younger brother married a Jamaican-American the 2nd time around and they did experience some harsh looks and actions from both sides of the extended families involved with the mixed race marriage. And some prejudices from people here in the Villages when they visited.

Do think things have gotten better in that area though here in the Villages. But, again, we have lived here since the summer of 2005.
