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...

Congratulations!

We’ve been here 14 years and still say it was the best decision we ever made.

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

Being “done” is a great feeling!

We've never been snowbirds, or snowflakes, so I can't imagine not being here full time. Been here a little over 3 years now, and don't want to be anywhere else. Plus, I agree with the previous poster that you'll probably spend a lot less time on this forum once you're here full time. It is so much better being here year round, rather than living vicariously thru TOTV.

Time does fly. Goes even faster in retirement. Gotta enjoy every day. Sounds like you are doing it right.

Congratulations! We're going on four years and The Villages has exceeded our expectations in just about every respect.

Congratulations! We are of the same mind and just love this place and are also almost at our year 3 Anniversary!

Congratulations, it is a great place. We will never move from here. There are so many things to do and so many places to visit! Hope you get to enjoy full retirement soon!

Hysterical, must be lots of downtime on the job😉

Congrats on 3 yrs and being "done"! Just over 3 myself.

JMintzer 02-18-2024 10:01 PM

Those questioning my time management are interesting...

For those who care, since Covid, my pt load has dropped and I'm only working from 7:30 to 12:30, 4-5 days/week...

10 Years!
 
The scarey part is it's coming up on 10 years full time and it still seems like last week.

Welcome home!
