A friend of mine knew she wanted to buy a retirement home in Florida, and she had heard about The Villages from a teacher colleague of hers. I came along with my friend to The Villages when she went on her initial house hunting trip in 2010. I was so intrigued and pleased by what I saw in The Villages from my first trip in 2010. My friend purchased her home in The Villages in 2010, moved down full time in 2011, and she is a happy frog.

I have been back to TV several times since that first visit in 2010, renting in a different village each time to get a feel of what living in different villages is like. My long term goal is to live in a place where I won't need a snow shovel, ice melt for the sidewalk or an ice scraper for my car. I certainly hope to make TV my home someday. It is a wonderful place!
