I understand. I also would be defensive at times, I'm just asking questions as they come up for me. I appreciate your response. I love the villages and have been there more than 8 times, it is where I want to live the rest of my life and age slowly!

Most of us did not even dream that living in any place in our senior years could be so wonderful and many folks reading this forum who have yet to move here are probably very skeptical and incredulous. WHO wouldn't be?

You have to live here to know just how great life is day to day even in the sweltering summers. Most of us believe that we live in the VERY BEST VILLAGE.

I was met with the same kind of defensiveness when first I asked questions on this forum. It looks different now from the "other side".

Keep asking questions.
