Welcome home!
Many of us enjoy it more every day. I love living with seasoned grown ups surrounded by all this beauty and an opportunity to do something different every day..or just chill on the lanai.
I love it so much that my friends back home don't like for me to talk about it and people who don't know me well here, think I am paid to say stuff.
I hope you love it more and more as you live here for at least a thousand years.
Excellent choice!

It is as great as those before us have said. Welcome to your new home. Just post any question you may have and people will always help you out. Watch for the new comers meeting at Crisper 10/21/16 at 3pm. It's a great way to meet a few of your new Villager neighbors. Take care.

Welcome.
Nucky mentions the Crispers meeting. That is at Southern Trace Shopping Center just north of the Villages High School near the intersection of CR101 and CR466.

My friend Tal--did you just have a dyslexic moment??
What does 466 and 101 in Southern trace have to do with the Regional Hospital by 441/27 and Morse???
And I haven't been to Crispers yet, but 466 and 101 is correct. If you come from the south, just go up Buena Vista to Belvedere Blvd and cut through. When you hit 466 go straight across and it will be in the plaza on your right.
Your directions remind me of college when we sent Freshmen to a non-existent building on a road that was fictional:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I am still finding my way around The Villages. Thank goodness for GPS. I will make the 10/21 get together with its help.

I'm sure you'll do fine. BTW, my directions are by auto, if you take your cart it's a bit more complicated.
I've been here a year and circumstances have prevented me from getting to Crisper's, but I hope to make it soon. Hope to see you there, welcome

Oh baby, we dined like Vikings once we got home! When I want real lobster I'm gonna have them imported from Fulton Fish Market or from some joint my sister swears by in Rhode Island. Just waiting for one Really Northern Member of The Lobster Crew before we dine over here at The Love Shack! :1rotfl::1rotfl:

Most people think, that one is throwing the bull, when trying to explain TV.
One visit cures them of that perception. :D
Congrats. Best wishes as you start living the dream. :smiley:

How often does this group meet? Can't make today because we are signing our Letter of Intent (or whatever it is called) at 3 pm. Will be full timers, so I really want to learn the ins and outs of TV and to start meeting people.

a fun way to learn your way around is to go take the trolly ride numerous times, and ride with different guides,,,, it is somewhat a sales pitch,, however only 25% sales pitch,, they show u different area,, they dont take you up north of 466, there are not any new houses for them to sell up there, and lot of different, less restrictions, pink flamingos in the yards, and lots trailer type homes,, that certainly look like manufactured homes. great ot learn the southern 2/3 of this place.

Twice now, I've seen 10/21 listed as the date for the get-together. Since today is 10/25. Did you mean 11/21?

The 10/21 date was referring to this month's meeting as those posts were written before the 21st. The next meeting will be 11/18. Hopefully, I will be able to make it as I will be in TV then!
