Why do we want to live in The Villages?
 
Because it is warm here today, 23 degrees, with snow on the way Monday.

29F here in the "sunny" south (Eastern North Carolina).
Snowing....and a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EST
:cus:

Well, the sun is shining here in The Villages - 'cept it's a little nippy. Only 60 degrees.:shrug:

Ouch.
You have a bit of a mean streak.:coolsmiley:

Because tomorrow night here it will be MINUS 5 degrees....and that is NOT the wind chill.
Because it hurts to breathe outside.
Because all of the cars are gray with roadsalt that is making rust as we speak.
Because it is so dry in our homes that when you kiss your wife your lips blow off from the static electricity in the air.
Because you thank God daily for remote start because your car needs to run 20 minutes before you go anywhere.
Because it is impossible to push a shopping cart through snow ruts.
Because your furnace/boiler will not turn off now until April.

This should be our last year, (read our last winter) here in NY. I'm bummed because I ran out of ice melt for our walks, and had to go buy another 50 lb can of it.

69 more days until I am back down there. Can't wait.

Temperature Rising
 
Having a hot flash. Temperature now 25. Hubby trying to get leaves out of the pond, I'm doing lesson plans. This is no way to spend a Saturday. Should be riding around in my golf cart. Looking forward to being a Village resident in June. We close on our home in Buttonwood in March.

TednRobin 01-22-2011 11:43 AM

Because it was -10 this morning and with the heat wave it is now 5 above.

Really liked your post since we are from NY but in TV til May-- hopefully it will be warmER then:pepper2:

We hit a low of -15 last night at our place here in central OH.......but fortunately, no wind. It's now a balmy 15 ABOVE and we've have had a good amount of sun all day which helps "take the edge off things". Yeah, right! :cus:

Will arrive in TV again in exactly 3 weeks for a short stint. Regardless of what the weather will be like there, it's GOT to be better than what we've all been having "up north"!!

Bill :)

I want to live in The Villages because it's gorgeous, mucho golf, dancing, swimming, lovely people and I can drive a golf cart everywhere.

Here in Los Angeles I fight the traffic, struggle to get a tee time, would not go to a public pool or drive a golf cart - death would be immanent. State taxs are 10% and rising. I don't even get a loaf of bread or a block of cheese.

Our home in TV will be one story, have a non fenced yard without 24/7 security surveillance. Hey, it's dangerous here in LA and we are hyper-vigalante. We just want to survive long enough to get out of California and enjoy the many fruits of TV.

Buttonwood here we come. Our home is on the market and as soon as it sells, we will be full time Frogs.

Plus I played golf yesterday, a five hour round and it cost me $32.00 to walk a goat ranch compared to the gorgeous courses of TV.

I wish they would stop advertising, I want The Villages to stay quaint and lovely.

Allure Loop in Buttonwood-Here We Come
 
The Realtor came to list our Illinois home this morning. My husband and I can't wait to start our home on Allure Loop in Buttonwood. We also can't wait to meet all the fine folks who post here! :wave:

We can't wait to get to the Villages because it snows in Nov. and it doesn't melt till April.
