Default Lots of Great Advice

We just completed an evening with our Sunday School Class and then an evening with dear friends. We love them all and leaving family and friends is one subject I don't dwell upon (get too emotional), but we have given all our lives and now it's time for us to have "our" time. Am leaving our only son, who is currently at home, a brother with MS and lots of precious friends. But we are about to complete a 7-year journey getting to TV and realizing a dream is the most wonderful thing my DW and I can give each other!

Everyone sharing their experiences, fears and anxious moments may or may not help with your decision, but, I can tell you without reservation, that after our first hour at TV in 2005, we knew in our hearts that was the place we wanted to spend our "golden years" together. We can stay active, and actually get more active. Making friends is the easiest part, and you don't have to be that outgoing of a person. It truly is "Florida's Friendliest Hometown"!

Finding all the services you need is far easier in TV, and especially here on TOTV. All you have to do is ask and you shall receive! We are just about packed and getting a few "touch up" projects completed on our house in Montrgomery will have us ready to hit the road to our new home in TV, hopefully by the end of the month.

All the best with your decision. We extend our hand of friendship and would love to welcome y'all as our "next" friends in TV!!
