BORED?
Seriously? With another new adventure just waiting for them in the Thursday Recreation Guide or The Lifelong Learning Catalogue? How can this be?
Daryll, when you asked for the downside to living in The Villages my first thought was... There's too much to do, and not enough time!
Downside:
It's very easy to be overscheduled here. There are so many exciting new things to do & learn & explore that some nights I just fall into bed exhausted.
I have to keep a planner.
I have to set the alarm clock.
And then there are the expenses: I need tap dancing shoes, a jingly hip scarf for zumba, a new cute bathing suit, watercolor painting supplies and paper, numerous tote bags to carry all my things to all the different classes... and the list goes on.
I can understand being bored with the predictability of each day if you retired somewhere else, but I can't imagine where else they would choose to live that would give them so many opportunities for new adventures.
