Two very nice ladies from TOTV met me the day after I arrived. I have met several other men and women through them. In addition wherever I go on my own, such as into a restaurant or into a fitness center, I tell people I have only been here a few days and we start to talk. Almost everyone came here from somewhere else so a newcomer is not facing breaching long term social bonds. Most men tell me all about the golfing although I do not golf much. Frankly, I am tempted to take it up again down here. The courses are beautiful. Many folks, married and single, want to share their stories and get to know me. Being single definitely is not a social bar in TV!

I have no favorite village yet. I am driving all over to get to know the turf.

This might even prove a typical evening out in TV for a single. Last night I was to meet a lady and some of her friends at an establishment providing music and a dance floor along with food and drinks. I arrived before she did and was welcomed to sit at a table with a married couple. By the time my friend arrived the couple and I were into a nice conversation. It turned out they lived near her and introduced her to some of their friends in the restaurant. A few of her friends later dropped in and she introduced them to me. We all had a great time.

Frankly time in TV is flying. I like it better here every day. I do not think it would take long for most people moving here to feel right at home and living life to its fullest.
