Marianne, so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know how hard it is when we lose a parent. Please, when you get back here, home, come to Crispers. We love to meet new members and we sure do have a lot of fun!! I would be happy to introduce you to all the great people I have met. TOTV is the greatest place to meet new friends!

Hi Rokinronda!!
I miss you!

Hi Marianne, just wanted to say and let you know that if you ever want to have coffee or lunch or something, just pm me. I know the first couple of months I was very lonely here and then I met some "lifelong" friends. My husband and I just love it here and are always on the go discovering new things to do. We've been here since Nov. for good and now it feels like I've never lived anywhere else! :bigthumbsup:

Marianne,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I lost mine a couple of years ago and the pain and anguish was indescribable. I felt like I lost my best friend.

I must tell you that never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would make new friends at this stage of life. Well "The Villages " certainly did prove me wrong. In the 3 months that I spent in TV this past winter I met some of the most wonderful, kind and caring people that I have ever known in my entire life! It really seems like TV brings out the very best in people and I have made more true friends then I have made in 37 years up north. (I never would have believed it).

You will without a doubt make great friends in a short period of time. The people are wonderful and the villages is incredible. How blessed we all are to have found this utopia.
(I am on the shy side too!) it doesnt matter, people in "The Villages" will find you and help you to live a beautiful life. Good luck! ;D

We don't live in TV full time but I'll be spending the summer there and would love to meet you.

When we were there over Spring Break, we were so fortunate to meet many TOTVers and I must say I've never met a more friendly sincerely nice group of people. And what fun we had! Go to the Crispers luncheon...I can hardly wait to go in June.

Hi wav to everyone I met...I miss all of you!

[Rokinronda]

I am feeling the love!!!! Wish I could be at Crispers on friday. Stupid WORK! I think I would like to see if anyone would like to meet for lunch next week?? I can't possibly wait until June to see everyone! How about Tues. or Wed.? Anyone? or.......what would you guys want to do?? PM me and I will start a lunch/impromptu meeting/gathering/miss everyone topic!

Tuesday, LSL, Rocky and the Rollers! I will be at the clock at 5 PM! Hope you can be there also!

Marianne, I'm so very sorry about your mother. I'm glad you could share some of your joy for your Florida home with her. I'm sure she'll be thrilled when you get down here and make new friends. I don't know your beliefs, but I know my mom is on my shoulder watching, smiling and nodding her head when I meet someone new and feel I've met a kindred spirit and I've met so many kindred spirits here.

Ronda, in case you missed it, I suggested to a couple of visitors to meet us at LSL for Rocky on Tuesday. We just need to save a wall like Sam did last time. That really worked out well, don't you think?

Nonie, HB, BF, BS and everyone else who is gone ... HURRY UP AND GET BACK DOWN HERE! I miss all of you!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

[samhass]

We're trying to get back, Red. We're trying. We just aren't succeeding.

[renielarson]

I'll be there soon Red...only 32 more days g/f!

[nONIE]

I am donating lots of stuff to try to start getting this house ready to put on the market. My husband has one more year to work. Will be back in the Villages end of June. Hi everyone!

You have a wonderful attitude toward life! Look at the contrast between your post & mine! Heres hoping some of that good stuff rubs off on me!

Thanks RW, I'm sure we'd all prefer to be in TV.
But at this age, the faster I hurry, the behinder I get.
