One question I don't see asked....why did one move away from where they lived and to The Villages? Where we lived, friends had moved away, traffic had become a nightmare, drugs and gangs were becoming more threatening, getting anywhere involved taking a freeway with heavy traffic that was many times, stopped.

TV offered beautiful surroundings, fewer worries about crimes, the opportunity to make more friends and something I really missed...the chance to take "back roads" around the state. Did I mention I really don't like freeways...

At prior home, lots of traffic, noise from planes, helicopters (Marine Corp base not far away) sirens (fire station nearby) and a constant din that you didn't really recognize until it stopped (on 9/11) made TV seem extremely quiet. Now, even with all the cars and trucks, (Morse is behind my house) it's not nearly as noisy here for us....maybe that's why hubby and I aren't particularly bothered.
