Default Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live

We live in Winifred. When we came there were about 35,000 people. We knew it would be growing and predictions are 100,000 by 2011. Right now I think there is probably 60,000 or so. We can tell the difference with the way some people act. You will always have a few bad apples in the bunch; a few bad drivers, both with cars and golfcarts. A few grumpy people, but just remind them where they live and that should straighten them out. A gentle reminder to you newer retirees. You use to have to scurry here and there when you were working, but now you can take all the time in the world. Just relax and enjoy your surroundings when in the grocery line or at the gas pump. Smile at the bank teller as you wait in line. Think of your children or grandchildren when waiting for your food at any of the wonderful restrurants you can visit. Breath the wonderful Florida night air as you watch the linedancers at the squares. Fall into bed exhausted but happy for another wonderful day in The Villages and say "Thank you Lord".
