When grandkids visit, there's time to enjoy their company. Kids love it here, our children as well as our grandchildren.
We live among our peers, who understand some of the little "difficulties" we all experience as we age, people who have had many experiences in life, people who are willing to help their fellow man. Oh there are some who are "grouchy" but for the most part, everyone is friendly and helpful. Try stopping your golf cart and take out a map...lots of people will stop to help get you on your way to where you want to go....

It might not be paradise, but I enjoy it here.

It was a simple question. When you think about it, you'll have your answer...one doesn't just move to another locale without reason. Since most on TOTV live here, will or want to, there have to be many positives.
Beautifully and thoughtfully said!!
