If we are lucky most of us will grow older, and so will he.
But....if that guy ever visits here, he will soon see how smart we are to live here. Now even forty somethings are trying to move in!
Next week I expect to see a post from someone newly graduating from college who wants to find a job and home here.

Gracie...you are right on target, once again.
Yesterday our carpenter was here to discuss us adding on a 3 season sunroom off our kitchen on the existing deck.....(screened in porch addition). He is 40 years old, our son's age. Well, he was "singing the praises" of THE VILLAGES. His mom retired to Barefoot Bay which is near Sebastian Inlet........but while taking his two teenagers "touring colleges" in Florida........they wound up near Orlando and decided to "take a look at THE VILLAGES" as he kept hearing from people up north here how great it was.
Well, he LOVED IT. And told us so. HE WAS VERY IMPRESSED.
Many young folks DO LOVE IT. I just gave him one of my maps and an extra portfolio with the video and houseplans, etc. The place sells itself.
When people are ready....."they will come".
In the case of 40 year olds, they have to wait the 15 years but they can dream. And.....we had an exceptionally warm winter up here. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees in Vermont........unusual for March, to say the least.
But no leaves on the trees, etc., etc.
