I love the way all things are so well maintained and well run. I love the opportunities to join a myriad of groups of like minded folks. I have so loved learning so much in the field of art and playing golf for pennies.
If you are considering Florida...this is the place. Maine sounds close to your children and similar to the way of life you are used to and very beautiful too.

Got to agree with you Gracie - no longer want to travel back and forth, and I no longer want to leave my home here in TV. We have relocated (per the company) several times in our life and I just want to have one home with all my "stuff" around me. We fly back several times a year to visit our children and their children, but this is definitely home now. We have also talked about what we would do when one of us has to depart this world, and we both feel that unless health is an issue, this is the place to live in ones old age. When we dine out, we notice people coming into restaurants who are infirm and there is no way these people could get around like they do here if they were to move back north. There really is no place like The Villages.
I have to add this to Senior - you have been on this website for sometime now and you are continually undecided about moving here. Don't even consider it until you really love it here, and more importantly, not until you BOTH love it here!
