My name is Shelly. My lovely wife Sandy and I will be visiting TV on a LS visit in early March. We'll be there from March 6 until March 12. That's on the LS program, but we'll be there a day or two ahead of time and stay a couple of days later, at least.
We're prepared to buy something this time down. If we don't find what we want, no big deal. We plan on returning in May for another look around.
Are there any special things going on that we should be aware of? Any recommendation of things to do or people to see?
We have no real plans. We'd like to chat with the locals and get their thoughts about the wonderful place called The Villages. Other than that, we're scheduled to spend some time with real estate sales reps and I'd like to play some golf.
The last time we were in TV, a little over two years ago, we were extremely impressed with the friendliness of the residents. People seemed to go out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. I really believe the commercial is true. America's Friendliest Home Town.
My wife isn't a golfer and I'm more of a hacker than a real golfer but I played with three great guys who couldn't have been more helpful. After a couple of holes it was like we had been playing together for years. I wish I had their names and numbers. I can't wait to get back on the course again.
Anyway, we're looking forward to meeting some of you fine folks and we hope to be your neighbors before we return home, which is in New York State.

Hi Shelly,
You might want to give this topic a little time for answers. Everybody was out at the Mardi Gras celebrations at the town squares tonight. :beer3: What a night! :laugh:

My calendar shows a Golf Fest at the polo grounds on March 6th & 7th, the Villages concert band is playing at the Savannah Center on March 13th, and Urban Flats restaurant has wine-tasting dinners on Wednesdays. I'm sure there are many more events, but that's all I have on my calendar. Does anybody else have any info for Shelly?

Welcome!

I hope you feel so welcome. I know there is a Bingo and ice cream social at Colony Cottage on March 12, but that is the day you are leaving. There is a Trivia night at Odell Rec center on the 6th.

I would I could be so much more enthusiastic, but I just read that one of our dear friends on TOTV lost his beloved dog, Sadie Mae, last night in a terrible accident.

I hope you have a wonderful time and as soon as I can think, one of us will arrange a way to meet you in person. Please enjoy your stay.

Kindest wishes,

GG
