I agree that we will have edges and I agree that making a big issue about Wildwood to me, isn't an issue.

I like old Florida...kinda. I don't like the lack of zoning on the outside of TV that has a nice, well cared for home right in the midst of people with all kinds of yardtrash and uncared for homes. You see it almost everywhere in Florida.

Worrying about any part of the process of making a huge move like this is part of the transition. People will fixate on certain issues because they want to be sure that they are doing the right thing and investing their hard earned money wisely.

When I am on the "outside" and return to The Villages, it is like a breath of fresh air. Miles and miles and miles of beautiful, well kept homes, clean streets and people who obviously treasure their homes living busily. The cleanliness against the Florida tropical atmosphere is just awesome.

But back to the reason for this post. People are bound to worry. That is the reason I love this forum, we can talk about it.

Good morning Y'all. I am going to get ready for a breakfast I am having for the girls on my street tomorrow. Then I am going to a wonderful art class at the LifeLong Learning college. My instructor is Nan Klein who is even older than me and far wiser.

I just love our life here.
