The typical Villages Home has..........

A "room" or two of NEW experiences/memories, getting fuller month by month.

A "room", maybe two, of OLD memories/experiences, slowly becoming less full.

The rest of the home is the center of daily updates to those "special rooms".

We are lucky those "special rooms" are easy to upsize and downsize. No approval or permits needed!

- The bills paid

- Common sense

- A full-sized, print-edition newspaper that doesn't have dopey Hollywood celebrity articles linked on the front page as "Most Read" or "Trending" or "Most Emailed", so that WE can scan the full-page layout of every page/section and decide what WE think is most important to see and read first, or to ignore.

villagetinker 06-11-2015 06:26 PM

Also:
The occasional Hot/tube or spa
Possibly a swimming pool
Generally a great view
ALWAYS great neighbors:a040::clap2::a040::clap2::MOJE_whot:
