[Villages Kahuna]

...my wife and I really consider The Villages home. This was the first year we did "the snowbird thing", returning to what has been our summer home on Lake Michigan in southwest Michigan in time for Memorial Day. (Home for about forty years was a north shore 'burb of Chicago with lots of time spent in Michigan.) We headed back the day after the Michigan-Notre Dame game in mid-September. We've already decided that next year we'll reduce our stay up north from the Fourth of July until just after Labor Day. Who knows what future year's plans might be? Our trek to the northland won't be any longer, of that we're certain. Make no mistake...The Villages is home!

And Kitris was right. Our full-time neighbors greeted our return as if we were long-lost relatives. One couple visited us in Michigan. We're planning on several more of our Villages friends and neighbors visiting us on the big lake next summer.
