Default Friends brought us to TV

We came to TV to visit friends who had just built a villa in the area off Rio Grande - that was over 17 years ago. Boy, have things changed since then. We were far from retirement age at the time and I remember thinking that our friends were crazy for wanting to live the TV lifestyle. They had sold everything they owned in Michigan, left their family and moved to TV. Everytime we came to visit (over several years) I felt like we were intruding on them - they lived by the calendar - always checking to see what was on the schedule. Once we started renting our own place here I fell in love with everything about TV - I've been trying to convince my husband to buy in TV for the past 10 years. Finally, this past Summer, he agreed so we came down in August, found a place we wanted and closed on it in October. This year we came down from January through April. Once we sell our place in Michigan we will be frogs.
