We've been here exactly 2 months now and were surprised at how very easy our move was and how quickly we got organized. We found a great guy (Alan Buyer) to do all the handyman stuff that needed to be done (ceiling fans, under-cabinet lighting, closet shelving, attic fan, and more). He made our life a lot easier for us.

We've played golf at all but one of the championship courses and we've played 5 or 6 of the executive courses. We've signed up for 3 of the couples sunset golf tournaments and played in 2 (one was rained out).

We've eaten in many of the fine restaurants in and around TV and have joined and worked out 3 of the 4 fitness clubs and I've been to 3 zumba gold classes and am planning to try water aerobics, line dancing, and pickleball. There really is so much to do!

We went to the first meeting of the Tamarind Grove Social Club and will attend the 2nd one soon. Our neighbers have been great and we've met some really nice people on the golf course.

Getting around is a little challenging still, but you gotta just get out there and not be afraid of getting lost. There are always people ready to help. This really is a wonderful place. Moving here was the right decision for us. We love it more every day.
