The only negative for me, as far as moving to The Villages was concerned, was leaving my three children and 6 grandchildren back in Maine. I know that this can be a serious issue for many folks who retire away from the family. We know of several couples who sold here and moved back up north because they missed their families too much. For me, keeping the e-mails going back and forth through cyberspace is every helpful, as are the phone calls that we all make when we need to hear a voice. And, there is always Skype if you just HAVE to see a face! I think we all just have to give this drastic a move some time......time to see if the lifestyle makes the sacrifices worth it. For my husband and me, both coming from childhoods that were not very happy, The Villages has provided the opportunity to have that second chance to be a kid again. Let's face it: By the time most of us arrive here we are nearing the last few good years of our lives. My feeling is that we do not get another chance, in another life, to finally "play" and have that childhood that many of us never had. So, no matter if you spend the first week unpacking, or if you spend it shopping or on The Squares, your eyes will fill with wonder, your ears will hear the mockingbirds in a nearby palm tree, and your heart will be filled with happiness when you realize that you just made one of the best moves of your life! I hope you enjoy this place as much as we have. There is just no other place on earth like The Villages and I, for one, feel very fortunate to live here. It's time for Hopscotch so "Bye" for now!
