Swimming, laughing and having a great time in the pools when it’s cold outside. They are hardy souls, makes me smile, I love it❤️

The smile on their face is because they are happy they have not become a FROG and lost their joy for things. They smile wide watching the FROGS complain and cry over everything. They are smiling because they can have a home in both locations and can leave when the whining gets intense.

They think the speed limit on Buena Vista is 85, not 35
What they do of the MMPs is mostly unmentionable

Some mistake the green sign for the Chinese character that roughly translates to "Free-For-All".

You know its the start of the great Snowbird Migration when sounds of horns and sirens fill the air...But alas, this year that sweet sound is being drowned out by the pop-pop-pop-pop sound of new roof shingles being installed.

You know you’re listening to a snowbird when the only thing they’re complaining about is how fast the winter goes by.

"rustyp" hit the nail on the head! Snowbirds use directional signals! Something that Villagers and local Floridian rarely do!

In the pool when it's 45 Degrees, or is that the weekly bath day for the regulars...

55 degrees is my cut off temp for laps, because it’s about the same as the temp in the great lakes

FROG = I will stay until I croak. My uncle and aunt died here after living in TV for more than 30 years. They were FROGs.

They must have been in the old section near Paradise Lake? We will have been here in the Villages for 20 years in June 2025.

Traffic here is a lot safer than on US19 in Palm Harbor. Probably drove past a very bad wreck on the way to various places almost once a month.

My parents had a seasonal home for more than a decade in the Historic section on Dustin Dr. My aunt and uncle bought a home in district one in the early 1990’s.
