When you go to a square in the evening talk to people. A good opener is, "How long have you lived here?" Follow up with, "Aren't you tired of it yet?" The conversation will take off!
If you take the trolley you'll step inside the Sales Center and see the quality that pervades the Villages. Walk around nearby Lake Miona, or Sea Breeze regional rec center and experience more of the same. It's all yours.
Eat lunch at the Lighthouse Restaurant on the lake. If there's room for it, walk the Sumter Landing boardwalk and follow up with a Haagen Daaz ice cream. Notice that the speakers along the way are playing songs you remember from the 60's and 70's. And smile.
Definitely spend one hour at a pool and think to yourself, "one day that could be MY POOL."
If you hear some pocking sounds at a nearby pickleball court go and watch a few minutes and think to yourself - "don't those people know they are too old to be running around and having fun like that."
And when you stop by the Square at night and see the couples in their 60's & 70's dancing think to yourself - "they could be sitting home and watching tv every night instead of this."
Did I say, "talk to people?"
And you must . . . you must . . . you must . . . rent a golf cart for the day.
