After spending time in the Villages we can see why so many have chosen it as their place to retire!

Yes. I am a person that vowed never to retire to Florida. But here I am.

Happy as a clam. Or a frog...smack dab in the middle of Florida where there was once a bunch of useless, cheap, land.

Living with a bunch of old-er people who I think are great fun.

Who knew that life really begins somewhere in the area of 70 years of age.

Love it. love it love it.
