Annabelle - Beautifully written.
I agree with you. I was born and raised in Richmond and even though I moved away from there in the 80's, I still
miss all the things you mentioned - being surrounded by history as you are in the Old Dominion, so close to
DC's numerous cultural events as well as those in Richmond, the beaches of Virginia Beach and the Bay, Williamsburg,
the four seasons, my childhood and school friends who are still there.
However, while sentiment remains, once in The Villages, it's like a whole new life begins - it's Paradise and Fun City all in one!
You will love it.
