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!

Hate to say it but I was one of the "why move to Florida?" crew too. After every visit to Florida, I was convinced that it's an ugly state with no seasonal changes and lots of negatives. Then I started to examine The Villages. Now I can't wait to move and am looking forward to leaving the four seasons of Minnesota (really only two) and the high cost of living here. I'll miss my friends, of course, but I think some of them are already reconsidering their retirement plans and may follow me to The Villages. Beside that, I hear gator tastes great.
