Those of us in the older generation who have sons or daughters interested in bringing us to The Villages are among the luckiest people in the world. As a woman in her late 80"s I would advise your Mom to "go for it". I am slightly incapacitated and am not a "joiner" so I get into my golf cart and cruise around The Villages to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. One day a week I play Mah Jongg with a lovely group of women who convinced me that I would enjoy the game -- and I do! I also play bunco once a month. Bunco is a mindless game that promotes lots of laughter and gives me the opportunity to spend an afternoon with my neighbors. Most neighborhoods have groups that meet monthly at their Rec Centers. It is for all who live in the area and is usually a great evening out.
