I joined the Drum And Twirler Corps and learned to play cymbals. I am delighted to have had my first drum lesson today!
Ratatatat, and thanks to Peacock and Robin for drum corps leadership!

What are you doing new or wanting to learn??

I think that was about OREGANO, but ok, basil might work too. I dried my dill last year, but the basil has too many spots. I think it attracts those little knats cuz I have to shake them off big time to use it.

OH, my Internet is SO MUCH FASTER NOW, I can use totv again (lol, laying the blame where it belonged finally ;-)

I'm swimming for exercise, and taking water color classes and learning more about acrylic and pencils too. I tried line dancing but got to confused. Damn dyslexia. "Bad spellers of the world untie".

Default the best TOTV question ever----thank-you

The Villages Florida
I did: birding and photography. I play a lot of golf on the executive courses. This means a lot of standing around. Long story short, I bought a 50x optical zoom camera and take it golfing. On a busy bird day, I put the ball in my pocket and just shoot pictures.

I learned how to drive a golf cart. What great fun!

I'd quit playing bridge thirty years ago. Little did I know how much I had missed playing until I started again.

I learned (and am still learning) how to run a small business. Not quite as much fun as bridge but certainly interesting.

Eleven posts and surprised that no one said this -- so let me be the first in this thread.

My wife and I never played golf until we moved to The Villages!! Took lessons 3 years ago and could not believe how much we enjoy the game and of course each other's company on the course.

Two years ago, on the first hole at Bonita Pass, my wife scored her a hole in one. I guess she is the better golfer in the family.

Almost forgot -- The Villagers we are paired up with during the busy season are some of the best, friendliest, and most enjoyable people we have ever met. They are a major factor in our enjoyment of golf and living in The Villages!!!
