Default The SNOWBIRDS are back....

And we love them. They have every right to return to this beautiful place. I feel sad that something keeps them up North for nine months or even longer. Now that they are here they are eating at restaurants and parking at the square and enjoying EVERYTHING there is to do.

Some of those dear souls brought some new cold germs for us to share and they just love to drive their carts and cars everywhere and the traffic is a bit overwhelming at times. Many have forgotten how to negotiate roundabouts and some even think STOP signs are a suggestion. Now Gracie, We don't know they are snowbirds and they could be new to The Villages RENTERS. And the renters have every right to rent and most of them are wonderful folks who are learning the speed limits in the neighborhoods and may need to park right in front of the Drug Store or Grocery. They will soon get used to things....

We were snowbirds ourselves for several years but now are so glad to be Frogs, here 'til we croak.

Welcome home Birdies. (I think the ones in the Fruitland Park area are called Fruit-flies.)
