I have occasionally heard remarks about the inconvenience that snowbirds cause the full timers. We are very much part of the success story of The Villages. Many more homes would be unsold and would possibly lead to a slower growth rate. I love the Villages and cannot wait for my return. I 've met many wonderful people and wish to meet many of you. No disrespect intended.
I apologize if i strayed from the thread. I do hope no one was seriously injured.

Nice to see you posting, Bloomer...and do know they were joking. It's sort of like "How did I get elected to this particular club office?" says someone who didn't attend a meeting and finds out he now holds an office for the club. "Well, you weren't here so we picked you!" responds another. Without our seasonal residents The Villages wouldn't be quite the same. We love them, but on occasion, they get picked on...and it's said with admiration.
Hurry back, we'll keep the light on in the window...but do be careful if you're on Canal or Buena Vista!
