Thank you MaybeKid. By sharing your story, you have soothed the wounded souls of many of us who made the decision to move here. My husband and I were met with similar incredulous reactions by friends and family. While some have realized as you did, that this place is THE place for us, others are still hurt. Needless to say, I've copied and forwarded your "thread" to those. Appreciate your kindness in taking the time to post. Its truly "A wonderful day in The Villages"
