I have been a high school business teacher for 33 years. I am an avid reader and enjoy long walks for exercise. I also play some pickleball and golf, if that is what you want to call them. I will be a snowbird for a few years until I decide to sell the house in New York State. The longest time I have ever stayed in my villa is 10 days. Looking forward to spending the winter in sunshine! I will be arriving in late fall and am looking forward to the next chapter in my book of life. Hope to meet some of you soon.
I'm finally in The Villages! I arrived on Wednesday and have been slowly unpacking and running errands. I said slowly because the day before I left to travel down, I stubbed my toe in the middle of the night and broke it! I guess I was still half asleep because I didn't realize it was broken until morning! This is really putting a damper of my desire to be playing golf, pickleball, and going for my 2+ mile walks. I sure hope it heals quickly! So far, it is feeling a little better every day.

It still has not hit me that I will be here for at least the next six months. I hope I don't have a meltdown when I realize that I am not at my villa for one of my short vacations. I am sure I will adapt just fine, but you never know. I hope I will be able to meet many of you who post frequently.

Time to do a bit more unpacking.

Karen
