And it suddenly occurs to them

"we're not on vacation, this is now our home!"

and what a wonderful place to live!

exactly!

Oh My Thank you Gracie for this thread. I will be a newbie the end of July and I have to admit when we were on the Lifestyle preview we did a lot of those things. We still have the grin on our faces every time we talk about TV to our friends. We tell them they have to come to TV because you can't explain that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you are in TV. The people are amazing. It is the most beautiful place and we want to be a part of it. I never thought I would leave Ca. I am a native and never lived anywhere else.

I still can't believe we will be frogs soon. We are tired because of all the packing. We have 46 years of stuff to sort out. I just keep looking at the end result knowing it is worth all the craziness in our life right now.

Yes GG thanks for starting this thread. We too have laughed when reading all the posts and yes we are "guilty" of doing most of what has been posted.

And we do still have that grin on our face........does it ever go away?

MINE is still there and so are Sweetie's and Helenes and so many folks who we personally know who post on this forum are always smiling and hugging. There is so much fun here, and so many ordinary nice people who have a great deal of patience with each other and are pretty savvy about day to day events.


Good morning everyone. Where is a picture from Alemorkan and Shrandall?


And...Thank you God.

Does the Memorial Day to Labor Day rule apply to wearing white in The Villages? I was guilty last October during our preview.

I have official permission from the Morse Family to abolish that rule. Just tell everyone you're wearing Winter White between Labor Day and Memorial Day

We're guilty of so many of the other things that show we're new to The Villages, I didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb wearing white after Labor Day! Thanks
