You are so right Shimpy. Last night the three of us were at a local restaurant here in West Chester, Ohio. A neighbor stopped by to chat and she asked when we were going back to "that village" in Florida. Sweetie said "That village has 80,000 people and three super Walmarts.....and 32 executive courses and 9 championship courses and....
Then our neighbor said "Oh. That's nice."
Sigh. No one can really understand until they see it. And driving here, leaving the areas of central Florida without zoning, (you all know what I mean) and entering the manicured, perfect area of The Villages, is just like entering OZ, the color comes on, the music comes up.
I can't wait to get HOME!!
