We felt very much at home in the one month rental and since the main purpose was to see if we could live in the homes......that decision was a no brainer for us. Not to mention, we were blessed with a week long visit by our youngest grandbaby.......so everything then revolved around her naptime, feeding time, etc.

TV has a lot of other great things going for it that we didn't feel any sense of loss.

I wouldn't be surprised if LONG TIME RESIDENTS never even go to the town square evening entertainment. Probably their visitors enjoy it very much as well as out of the village area residents. Obviously, there will always be those who live to dance that indeed will go every night. Maybe try a "slower night". Again after him saying there were no chairs at all, we just figured it wasn't that important to us.

Gracie: Side question. Do you go to the town square entertainment every evening?
Every ordinary day there are tons of chairs senior.

We rarely go now that we have friends with whom we spend evenings doing other things. I can't converse with the music in the foreground because of these damn expensive "hearers". So I prefer to enjoy conversation in a quieter venue...and I don't drink. Used to..never could get the hang of it. It made me think I was smarter than I am.
