Congratulations!

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

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, 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!

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...

Default 10 Years!

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

Welcome home!
