Our Friends
We bought a land in Pinehurst, NC with a plan to retire there. Our friends are meticulous researcher and went up and down the east coast from NC to Florida visiting at least a dozen places but finally did a life style package and shortly thereafter bought a place at TV. We went to visit them and I liked the place very much but my wife was non-committal. She was initially shocked by just the mass of gray hairs at the restaurants we visited. Pinehurst is not a retirement community per se but when we went there one time in winter, the quaint little town was so deserted. We remembered how active TV was. While we were still contemplating, we mentioned TV to a friend who was contemplating retirement. They visited for the first time for a few days and came back with a grin and told us they bought a model home with all the furnitures. With all these happenings and the great east coast snow storm of 2010, my wife finally agreed that we should be Frogs there. The fact that grandkids moved from NY to Orlamdo this August helped make the decision easier also. Our son says he doesn't mind retiring there when he reaches 55.
