While I think I DO tend to take some things for granted now, living here will never become old hat. The Villages lifestyle is just too exciting to ever become boring. In fact, the older I get the happier I am that I found this place. When we first moved here I couldn't buy a pair of shoes nor could my husband buy a shirt in The Villages. Home Depot was in Ocala or Leesburg. Entertainment happened in a tent on Spanish Springs Town Square! Yet, despite what WASN'T here there was already so much more than in any other retirement communities we had visited. Your love for this place will not change, except to grow! The Villages changes around us but, for us, those changes have only added to the beauty of this place and provided us with yet more conveniences and experiences. After all of this time I still ride around in my golf cart with a big smile on my face! I am still amazed, I am in awe, and my love affair with this place grows deeper every day. I hope you get to enjoy many years in this place. There is nothing like it in the world.  (That's me, waving at you as we pass in our golf carts!) |
Between you, Villages Florida, and Gracie....TV doesn't need to advertise. I'm just sad that the world is coming to an end tomorrow because I can't get to TV by then to enjoy!
