Default Snowflake or snowbird

We came for lsv in oct 2011 bought in a week went back to CT then back down in Dec will be here until May. Does that make us a flake or a bird? We also are trying to decide about becoming frogs. So much to be grateful for.

We feel blessed to own here in The Villages (2007), and also to spend summers at our Lake cottage in Canada. Each Fall when we return to The Bubble, we feel a renewed sense of gratitude for the wonderful friends we've made, and we marvel at the beautiful community.

Since you're staying for the winter, that makes you a 'bird.

I am a flake! Heh-heh!

I rent but for the full 12 months. Haven't decided whether I will buy or continue to rent for 2013. It partially depends on if what I want and can afford to buy is on the market come August or Sept of this year. BUT I do know I am definitely a FROG. I'm not moving out of "the Bubble" except in a box.

Default We started as renters (2009) from Canada,

and 3 days later, we decided to buy the CYV we had rented when we were told that it was for sale. It has been one of life's blessing for us to be able to spend Spring and Fall in TV when the weather is sooooo glorious, the people are so friendly and the shopping is so plentiful and varied. If "you" would let us stay longer, we would love to spend winter here too, but for now I don't want to give up Sept. or May weather. And Christmas with the grandkids is always something we look forward to. So snowflaking works for us for now, and TOTV makes it easier to stay in the loop.

We visited in January '12, came back last week and purchased a lot. We'll come back in March to the Design Center and get started building.

We will spend 8-9 months here and 3-4 months back to our other home in Harbor Springs, MI during the summer. We have done this for the seven years we have lived in Orlando so have never experienced a summer in FL.

We have been back in Orlando since Monday and find we are missing The Villages already.

We are renters now, possibly looking to purchase in about one and a half years but not sure, depending on finances.

Bought in 2006 and snowflaked for 2 years. Frogs since 2008. Never regretted a moment of it!

Default Rent, Own or Wish

We bought a lot and will build in the next few months. We will probably rent out for two years prior to retirement. I wish I lived there now - I'll be counting down the days!
Still stuck in Wisconsin for now.
