Not looking for a small mountain town - looking for all The Villages offers in a mountain
town. My husband and I are not joiners and don't engage in clubs and the only activity we regularly participate in is golf; however, we do so with a great group of folks and enjoy going to different places for breakfast. I am referring to the way the grounds are so beautifully landscaped and maintained and the convenience of nearby shopping, doctors and restaurants. And the fact that The Villages offers so much it attracts a very interesting group of people.

I agree with Gomoho, who I have never met in person and who I consider a friend and also with Barefoot who I do know but don't see enough. I love the opportunity to go and paint with others quietly at the Art Studios, walk around the room and see what others are doing, work on my own panting, get a little help from people better than me and enjoy looking at their projects.
I like the comfortable folks who I see regularly in my golf groups and in my neighborhood and I love gathering them to feed them now and then and listening to what they have to say. I am seeing after five plus years here that people gather according to how comfortable they are with others views and that frequently means political views. This is the FIRST time that has happened in my life, because I never thought about politics, but now it seems to mean more, like a whole philosophy of living and we seek the comfortable acceptance of like minded people frequently at this age.
Age means less than anything in friends groups I have found and many like me kind of enjoy pulling their home and the people who live in it close around them and enjoy the serenity at the end of the day. I have partied with the best of them, enjoyed being young and lovely and alcohol fueled, but now not so much.
We are all different, but there are so many of us that we can find our comfortable group here.
