Hi janrbob,
I lived in Houston 35 years and my husband is a native, so we know a lot about the weather, winter and summer. We moved here from Delray Beach, FL. We were concerned the climate in The Villages would be more like Houston than South FL, but thankfully, it's not.
When we sold our last sailboat we thought we might move back to Texas, to Lake Conroe N. of Houston, where we used to have a lot, but didn't get any farther once we investigated TV.
If we can get enough Texans here maybe we can have a club like all the other states do. I already know Texasfal plus a couple from Houston that have been friends for years.
