We have worked hard to achieve our life style and I will protect that right. A big shout out to our great law enforcement heroes.

We wish we were in a bubble ... LOL ... yet we see the virus interfering with that idea.

Yes we do and the pandemic has shown that even more. Once you get out of the Villages, people are going about their lives as normally as possible. Stores have products and no one wears a mask unless it is required.

Our son best described The Villages during his first visit. “Dad, this like going to college but not having to go to class.”

Yes, and it's a very pleasant bubble! Low crime, friendly people, no graffiti, beautiful landscaping in common areas... I do escape from time to time, but I ALWAYS come back.

Well. My guess is that alemorkam has learned not to use amusing word play titles for his/her lovely photos!

Everyone lives in a bubble, no matter where they live.
