If you are feeling under the weather they are right there to pick up the slack. It feels really good to live in a tight knit community, even though it is a large one, where people care. Bravo to good people of The Villages!!!! You make our house feel like a home.
I agree with you there. For the most part, the people in the Villages have been very forthcoming in offering help to anyone who looks like they might need it with usually no expectation of benefit for this help. I have found this at Doggie Doo Run Run, in my neighborhood, on TOTV, and elsewhere as well. They even have very friendly police officers from my experiences (very limited to my car breaking down a few years ago and my mentioning my work as a survivor of crimes' advocate in a Thank You letter for the roadside assistance).
