With a tear in my eye
 

Packing up this weekend to head back to Ohio for the summer. I really don't want to go. The only good thing is it will be nice to see the kids, grandkids and friends.
This was our first winter here and we had the time of our lives. We closed on our home in April, 2010. We came down last November for the winter and have met so many nice people. Our neighbors are great. Can I say we live in the best neighborhood? I know, we all say that. We have been keeping ourselves very busy with all the things that are offered here. Well, as many as we can fit into our schedule. Two of my most memorable things for me are, flying a plane with the aviators club, and learning to play the banjo, and playing with Sparkie's Strummers. I never once thought I would retire and be able to live this kind of lifestyle. I'll probably go through withdrawal up north. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will want to buy our place in Ohio.
I don't want to leave.

Hard to leave
 

As we are Canadians, we can only be here for 6 months in the year and I just figured out that as it takes us 3 days to travel each way, it cuts our time in TV down by 12 days! We bought in April '10 and even though we have been down Oct/Nov and April/May we feel like this is our "home" and we are going back to Canada to visit. We have extended this trip by a week so we can be here to see a finished lanai project but we really have to count the days so that we don't cut into our next trip in October. Never figured on having to do all this math!

Welcome to the "Gee It's Hard To Leave This Place Club". The good thing is that it automatically qualifies you for the "We Can't Wait To Get Back Club" and the exhilarating "Yippeee.....we're headed home to the Villages Club."

Me too

Hi Bob,
Enjoy your friends and family in Ohio, then hurry on back! :crap2:

You'll be back in The Villages before you know it.:wave:

Will join that club in July!!!!

I'm a member of that club!!! I also have the "team" decal, a froggie magnet, on the back of my car. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...od/froggie.jpg In addition to signifying I'm a FROG, it helps me find my car...one of many of the same year and color that now are garaged in TV.... ;)

We are on our way north for the LAST TIME EVER, and will be back to join this club on June 18th!!!!! Yeeeehawww!! :a040::a040::a040:

Out Village neighbors said that we should refer to our northern home as our "summer home" and our home in TV as "home". Can't wait till September!

I'm guessing family is the MAIN REASON why everybody is not here all the time
