Default 3 Year Anniversary...

Today marks exactly 3 years since we closed on our home in The Villages!

I've met so many nice people, played more golf than I expected (when I'm down there) and made some wonderful friends...

Now that I've finally sold my practice, I hope to spend even more time in my southern home as we prepare to make FL our primary residence...

I can't believe how the time has flown by...

Happy Anniversary!!

We've been permanent here just over three years... time does fly.

If you would have given us a weeks notice would have baked you a cake.

I'm around my 1 year anniversary, I made the offer for the house February 3rd, it was accepted the next day, & then the 40 day countdown to closing.

We’ve been here full time since June, 2021. Congratulations on your milestone. See you on the course.

Congrats! When I first heard of The Villages I believe it was an ad I saw on TV while watching golf, probably in the late '80s or early '90s. Didn't look like much to me, and certainly wouldn't have projected myself ever living "there"...now "here"...heh heh...Very happy to be here, and, to quote Alan Sherman..."they say we'll have some fun when it stops raining"

Are you going to do side gigs? These hard cement pickleball courts do a number on your feet.

I've had a FL license since I graduated in 1984... My "plan" was to retire to FL and practice part time...

But I doubt I'll renew it this year... I'm done...

This April 15th will be our 19 year anniversary. We have loved living here and think it has added years to our lives. We also have met so many great people and have enjoyed all of the activities and things to do....and of course my husband loves playing golf. So happy we made the move years ago.

I'll let him answer, but my guess is: he's been posting from 'up north' because he wishes he were here. Once here full time (he still has the better part of a year to go), he'll be busy being retired & we might not see as much of him. Plus, once here, he won't miss it
