We've been here 17 years. Love it year round for fdicferent reasons different parts of the year. Could never stand gray skies, ice, snow, cold weather, or heavy winter clothes again. We love being in one home year round. We aren't into stress or hardship. In summertime here we love: less traffic; easier access to restaurants; fresh local in-season produce; relaxing at less crowded pools; lots of indoor rec center activities; frequent trips to the Lake Square Mall for AMC theater viewings in comfy recliners with cutting edge technology - followed by mall walks when it's too hot to walk outside and other recreation activities available there; long golf cart rides especially down to the newer areas; less crowding at the squares; and lots of socializing with old and new friends in what seems like a more relaxed atmosphere.

The world needs dreamers; the world needs 'do'-ers. But most of all, the world needs dreamers who are do-ers.
