I believe the Villages is place where people are constantly helping others in one way or another. Every day the paper is full of articles about volunteers raising money and helping charitable organizations in and around TV. We just believe in having some enjoyment while doing it. I feel truly blessed to have found this wonderful place to live out our golden years.
I wanted to comment about your friend of 58 years who dumped you when you came to TV. Same thing happened to me...my friend and I were friends for only 25 years, but it still hurts. Happened to a neighbor and another friend here, too. Seems like a pattern. Makes me wonder if our long-time, so-called "friends" aren't just jealous because we found paradise...and they didn't?? LOL!
