Let me start off by saying that I love children. We live in a neighborhood in VA close to all the military bases. So every two to four years (usually four) we get a new group of children coming in. Hubby and I are known as the grandparents in the culdesac! (that's funny as we do not have any grandkids of our own...and really we are too young to be grandparents anyway!) The neighbors always include us in everything. And when the husbands are away the families know we are just a phone call away.
I love to see the grandkids at the squares dancing with their grandparents and I also like to see the pride and happiness they bring to granny and pops. Maybe someday (when we have grandkids) they will be dancing on the squares with us. I do not like to see the older kids driving golf carts...it seems most of them drive irresponsibly and quite frankly I do not see any reason why they are aloud to drive carts w/o supervision.
Hubby and I just love TV. We are moving to TV because we love the friendliness, the beauty, the recreation, the fun...the lifestyle! I love the fact that kids can come visit for thirty days at a time...what a great place to come for summer vacation! What a sad situation for a child to lose his/her parents and and their grandparents having to raise them. But if everybody's grandkids started moving in full time it would become like any other neighborhood. It would no longer be a 55+ community with the lifestlye we all moved here for!
