Many of the people whose company I have enjoyed passed away or moved out of the Villages.

One of these bowlers was kind of like Pauline from the Perils of Pauline . She had a new misadventure very often which we would have us at the dog park talking for weeks. She drove a friend in the old section of the Villages in her own golf cart and hit one of those posts on the middle of the golf cart path sending her passenger flying out the side. Her retired DC lawyer boyfriend passed away on the dialysis machine here in the Villages. A leak happened in the pond just behind her house. She drove her golf cart though the screen on her garage forgetting it was down. The last story we had heard was that she had escaped out of her nursing home just in her gown by taking advantage of her attendants being distracted while they tended to another patient. And her two dogs would often be creating huge holes in the ground at Doggie Doo Run Run while hunting for moles. We would fill in these holes for her because there was rarely a dull moment with her around. My first Villages' dog also loved digging holes looking for critters. Doggie Doo Run Run eventually put a stop to dogs digging. Some of the holes that our "Pauline's" dogs would create were rather large.
