Quite fun but we were really moving in the golf carts heading towards Dunkirk Trail. And then it started raining. My "date" handled all my golf cart driving well. I went with one of the widows in my neighborhood.

That sounds like so much fun you should do it again. We went to Dunkirk in 2016 and it was amazing. We went again last year and could not believe how much more traffic there was. Hopefully when it warms up a bit we might try it this year and hope for NOTHING but the best.

So that's why you plan another trip before you've even taken the first one you planned - lol. Definitely a good idea though. And the next trip to TV may come with NOTHING but the added bonus of meeting you and Mrs K. That's if we're not already moved there by then.

Can you believe we all may be seeing this wonderful light show for the last time? We were NOTHING but told by two different residents that this will be the last year.

I'm not sure if its the extreme amount of work and expense or if they want to give the neighbors who are not into it a break which sounds very fair to me. The people who put this together year after year are amazing people and we Thank You for the beautiful show.

There is a spot near the end of the show where they are accepting canned good and the like to donate and they are also accepting cash which goes to others, not for the operation of the massive light show.

We will miss them a lot but Thank You Again for everything.

NOTHING but Bada Bing! I hope the bet ends in a tie! Everybody wins!

Let's keep the positive thoughts going for our Buddy In Tampa!

No swinging from the Chandelier or a Lamp Shade on your head like last year Mrs. FW. Three parties in one week, not sure I could do it. Unless they ended by 9 PM. LOL.

Thanks guys! You all have the best life down there. We literally had to turn down invites because we already had plans for the day/evening.

Swinging from a chandelier - heck, that's what I was doing while we were in TV........or was it a trapeze?

But in all seriousness, the most important thing now is to stay focused on positive thoughts as you say for BK. I think she said the appts and testing will continue into today so she may not know anything for awhile. It is often the most difficult place to be when dealing with health issues - the not knowing stage when your mind goes wild with the possibilities. I'm praying for answers and most importantly peace.

Uh oh.......I gotta get my NOTHING going again. I keep forgetting it!

We went last week. It wasn't crowded at all which surprised me. Maybe because we went NOTHING but early around 6 or 6:30 or maybe we just hit a good night to go. The 2 things I really wanted to do was see a lot of the decorations and do a lot of trail/nature walks. Unfortunately things didn't turn out that way. We did see some nice lights around the areas that we traveled, but didn't get in nearly the walking I was hoping for. Several reasons for that - weather (I was freezing some days - I think I have NOTHING but Florida blood now), too many people to catch up with especially since my husband hadn't been down in over a year, and also because he has been having some major issues with his hip being out. It's weird because he can do everything but walk - yard work, 2 hour gym workouts, etc - but walking kills him. He did start treatment before we left but needs to get back to it ASAP.

LOL - yeah, well we found out what happens when you have NOTHING but "company" in your home for over a year and then you get a little time alone. That could be another reason we didn't do as much as we had planned but I'll never tell - lol.

Nice post, Nucky. I thought I had read right here on TOTV, but I could be mistaken, that the reason it may not continue is because the gentleman who is the mastermind behind it is "retiring" and they weren't sure if there would be anyone who would be willing or able to take it over. It sure would be NOTHING but a shame but totally understandable as it is a big undertaking. When I read that I told my husband we had to get there just in case. It is really amazing. Wish we would have had time to ride through a second time.

We'll all win - I'll make sure of it. We just have to get Mr and Mrs K down there for a first visit that will wet their appetite enough to want to make the move sooner rather than later. It really is an unforgettable place once you've laid eyes on it and experienced it even if for a short visit. NOTHING like it!

If it wasn't for the gap between now and when we could get Medicare we could problably do it now. But we wouldn't be able to travel like we want to.

NOTHING but sacrificing today for a better tomorrow.. lol

Glad you made it home safely.

I used to love to travel but now that I am here in The Villages I find I am not as much interested. We have been to 3 continents and the Caribbean many times. It just seems like so much work now to go someplace that isn't even as nice as here. I think traveling was always just about getting away and now we don't need to.

Medicare is NOTHING but a deal breaker but you could find a job here where you could get insurance for a while. You might have a different perspective next year when you come.

Even if we move there in five years I'll still have 5 years until I can get Medicare. That will be taken care of with the difference in what we sell our house for here and what we pay for a house there. No way I'm getting a job there. Mrs. K on the other hand.. Not sure if she can stay away from nursing. She says she can but I'm not sure. I can see her going per diem at one of the hospitals there just to stay busy. She's not good at doing NOTHING. .

As far as traveling, I can't imagine losing that passion. Still way too many places we want to see.

K, all I can say is we have NOTHING but a lot to talk about. So for now just get your as..... I mean butt down there and get your feet wet. It may or may not be life changing for both of you but it is for many. And I'm sure we can share some info with you that may be helpful on what we've been doing healthcare-wise, etc. First things first, you have to see if you have a change in the level of your passions. I agree with fw about the travel thing as have others I've talked to about that. But it is an individual thing and only you can decide.

I know there are other things to consider too. No pressure intended here but if it's not already obvious, we want you there.

I tried this earlier this morning and it didn't stick because the website went down again. I'll give it one more shot before I run out the door to work.

Today is Wednesday, December 12th. Sure missed you NOTHINGS last night. It did get me to bed earlier though and I'm sure my body will be happy about that as the day goes on. Hope to "see" you all later tonight. Have a great day!
