I think I shall stay another year God willing
 
I came to the villages and told my husband I would give it 2 years. I still have the picture in my head of my 5 year old granddaughter crying as her mother drove her out of our driveway. Two years came and went, my granddaughter came to stay with us and she loved it, untill she left. So seven years later, I read all of the complaining on talk of the villages. I have also picked up some wonderful info about Dr.'s and grout, and ants, and dog poop, and the best carpet cleaners in the villages. I have heard how sorry people are when a member dies or moves away, or when they go to hospice. My point is I enjoy TOTV, I believe as we grow older, we need to vent. This relieves stress, and we see so much stress and pain in the world today. So thank you village people, I think I will stay.

Excellent post by a caring and upbeat person. :smiley:

"GOD willing" is something my mother always used to say.

Thank you for your positive and reassuring post from someone who is closing on a home in TV in less than 2 weeks.

Very nice post. TOTV has been depressing lately for me. I was starting to question my decisions. Your post made me feel a whole lot better. Thanks!!

Thank you! I don't know why some want to Wallow in the gloom and doom hole, but I think most of us feel just like you! :a040:
