I can't believe this was caught on film. What an amazing thing to witness.... You might have to copy and paste the URL

Thank you so much for sharing this! So beautiful and heart-lifting, especially with all of the negativity going on in the world right now...including often on this forum. This is the kind of outlook that initially attracted us to The Villages - a place with positive, happy, friendly people who worked hard for the life style that is possible in TV. I sometimes question our choice when the negativity and politics take over, and then something beautiful like this is shared. We are committed and are ordering our home to be built next week! Thanks to all (and most) of the wonderful residents who keep the happy and positive attitudes and news in the limelight! We can't wait to become permanent Villagers!!

Wonderful, there is nothing like a new life coming into the world. It gives us hope for tomorrow.

You better slow your Mustang down...We are part timers, You made the right choice, worry not. I haven't seen much of the political "crap" while doing anything in The Villages. Are you going to get a cart with the Mustang body?

Thanks - good to hear! I'm not sure yet what kind of a cart we will get. It may depend on how much we spend on the house. We won't be moving down permanently until we sell our home which is not yet on the market. Our current Mustang will have to do for now!

Renrod,
Thank you. Beautiful and heart-lifting indeed!

Thank you. That was thrilling. I've heard that in the wild if the baby doesn't get up on its legs right away, the mother will abandon it because it can't survive.

something to ponder
 

I don't understand how we got to the top of the food chain. The baby was walking within 3 minutes on the video.
