Default On the Rise in Eastport: The Summit Rock Wall Update

Hi kids!

I wanted to take this moment to thank our intuition. We made our choice last year to purchase between Lake Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs when moving from our snowbird villa. We had originally planned to move to a new Veranda model down south, but after visiting a couple of times, my wife and I both got a feeling that, even after it "grows up" it would not be the same as the older sections.

Yesterday, we received an email with the subject "On the Rise in Eastport" with the first article titled "The Summit Rock Wall Update." It confirmed our decision as being the best one we could have possibly made. While I understand that The Villages is an active lifestyle community, not a retirement community, I just don't see a climbing wall in the public square as being in line with the original intent. Like the playground, it seems to me that they are trying to draw in families with young children. Am I taking crazy pills?

So, thank you Intuition!! You made the right call. And you don't have to drive north to find golf courses and MMPs that are not shared with automobile traffic.

What say you?

P.S. - I make a switch from the "I" to the "we" several times in this message. Some of it is coming from me, while other parts are referencing my wife's and my point of view. I know this is not an English class, but I was curious as to whether this was correct grammar in this context. Here's what I found:

Yes, it is grammatically correct to use both "I" and "we" in the same paragraph, if the context is clear. The pronouns' use should be logical and consistent with the description.

For those that care.
