Found a great home site. Our Liliac home will be completed in December. We are so darn excited!

However our friends are not. No matter how many pics I show them all we get is statements like-

Your crazy why are you moving to God's waiting Room to Die?, Got your rascal scooter and a oxygen bottle ready! All those bugs snakes gattors crime and illegals. So your gonna ride in a Golf Cart and dance in the streets.

Wow I gave up even telling anyone. I think we are very lucky and have found a great place to live. I have had nothing but positive's after visiting TV for the last three years. From sales staff, villagers local business the banks.

Maybe upstate NY taxes grey sky and annual 200 inchs of snow make us miserable? LOL

Did any of you get the same flack we are. Just curious!

Join the club!!!! We are from NY also --Long Island ---
Not only were our friends making faces about our move, our kids were angry and had all the same reactions. OH did I fail to mention my wife said the same things to me !!!!!!!!! until we made a lifestyle visit --she fell in love --not with me --but with TV----lol

We moved here last Oct. Our daughter who is 30 came for a visit --and hase been back 3 times with her friends --

Yes you will ride in golf carts --dance in the streets (all year long) without a shovel !!

What we have found is that we had to stop trying to sell our move to others.
All we could do was invite them to visit ---------

When and If they come they will see what you could not explain ...

Congrats on your sale --get here before you get snowed in up there !!
