My golf club is twelve miles from home so once I golf and come home I am not in the mood to drive back out there for social stuff in the evening. I spend a lot of time on the computer, work on my fitness and diet, and watch T.V.
When we were in the Villages I spent a lot of time in the mornings in Starbucks talking to the locals, and also at the wine and cigar shop (GarVin) in town. We walked around the small stream and nature trail in Sumter Landing. Are there other such paths that are larger for nice walks? Loved the burgers at Glenview CC. Happy hour on the squares is a great bargin in the afternoons.
Well we did have an earthquake here today. My first ever. That snow that I photographed was a record here. We had two storms in 3 days and each was more then 3 feet.

We have neighborhood socials and informal gatherings. I play golf with a few from my block. My neighbor and I have down a few projects together like installing stairs to attic in garage and we helped each other install storm doors. I just came back from the golfing range at Colony and now plan on going to one of the executive golf course. There are no snowbirds so you can get right on to the course. I have about 6 courses within 5 minutes from my house. Best kept secret is summer golf here.
