I think I shall stay another year God willing

[dog friendly]

I came to the villages and told my husband I would give it 2 years. I still have the picture in my head of my 5 year old granddaughter crying as her mother drove her out of our driveway. Two years came and went, my granddaughter came to stay with us and she loved it, untill she left. So seven years later, I read all of the complaining on talk of the villages. I have also picked up some wonderful info about Dr.'s and grout, and ants, and dog poop, and the best carpet cleaners in the villages. I have heard how sorry people are when a member dies or moves away, or when they go to hospice. My point is I enjoy TOTV, I believe as we grow older, we need to vent. This relieves stress, and we see so much stress and pain in the world today. So thank you village people, I think I will stay.

"GOD willing" is something my mother always used to say.

Lovely first post of the morning to read. Thank you for posting it.

[In awe of TV]

Wonderful, heartfelt post! Life is short, we have to make the best choices for our own life.

[duffysmom]

Thank you for the refreshing post. I'm happy that you are living among us and I wish you health and happiness.:mademyday:

Thank you for your positive and reassuring post from someone who is closing on a home in TV in less than 2 weeks.

Very nice post. TOTV has been depressing lately for me. I was starting to question my decisions. Your post made me feel a whole lot better. Thanks!!

[wendyquat]

Thank you! I don't know why some want to Wallow in the gloom and doom hole, but I think most of us feel just like you! :a040:

[NotGolfer]

Thank you for this wonderful post! I'm "with you" in your thoughts...I too will be staying here!

My addition to this is that any move is stressful and adjustments need to be made. Our decision was to go somewhere warm and without the cold and snow and where golfing was available. Found this place, loved it and moved here!! Was it always "easy" and perfect...nope, but weighing the positives with the negatives----well my glass is half full!! I'm loving it and if I could, I would shake Harold Schwartze's hand and tell him thank you for having a dream. Thank you Gary and Mark Morse for caring that dream on! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it here!!!

I am happy for you.

What a great attitude! We should all read your post over and over and use it as a guide. So very glad you will be with us when we finally get down there next month. I hope I have the honor of meeting you. I'm a dog lover, too. Woof! Woof! :angel:
