Default Too many things to do, so little time

Having lived in one county for 42 years, we DID wonder how it would be to move so far south, and start all over.
No problem. We instantly made a new, lively and fun group of friends. We play golf (could not afford to before the move) I take Yoga 4 times a week. There is always a group of gals or guys, going somewhere to do something, ie movies, meals etc. The Town Square is always enjoyable, and Vendor night is an additional source of "what's gonna be for sale tonight".. We live in Buttonwood and there many organized social events, street parties, etc., and our Neighborhood Of Buttonwood "sanctioned" club grew so quickly, the last event was moved to the Savannah Center which seats about 500 (not sure on exact number, but it has a ballroom) Neighborhood pools are always a social place, conversations start up, and more often than not, folks discover a connection either with previous home town, mutual friends, and even school pals. Hope that gives you a little taste of what life here has to offer. In our 16 month of living in Shangrila, we have NO complaints.
