So keep on making friends Gracie, and know that everybody out there is dying to accept!

Nice post, Lary...and you're right about Gracie...she is our very own royalty and it is an honor to be her friend.

I asked the same question- It means you move here until you croak.

They are and they would.

I have made wonderful friends on this site.

Graciegirl,
I warmly accepted your invitation to be your friend, sent a note to introduce myself, but honestly can't tell if it went thru. I'm not very savey at techno stuff. So, I'll hope to meet you at Crispers sometime, maybe an oil class WAY down the line (I think I'll have much to do when we 1st arrive). I think the beauty of this forum is that I get to meet people ahead of time. As I whined in my post of how hard this time is, the real challenge will be getting there and starting new with relationships. This forum makes it seem very easy and I hope it is. See you all soon!

I've been a silence reviewer for a couple years now and wife and I finally made the decision to make the jump and move to The Villages. Was down for lifestyle preview 2 years ago and stopped by for a day last year for another look. Put house up for sale here in Houston, Texas and working with the Villages relacation and Sales teams on the sale and move. Wife is now looking forward ot the move. She has a brother who owns and is a part timer in the villages and that helped with the decision. Really looking forward to this move and getting there.

Welcome to the Forum TomG. We have a TomG and a TomH on this thread.

I hope that your home sale goes smoothly and you find a beautiful place here.

I think you must have drunk the water too.

I never dreamed that I would own a home in Florida. I don't like Florida, but I love The Villages.

Best wishes to you both.

Welcome, TomG. Best of luck selling your home and finding a great one in Lower Paradise.

I felt the same way. Always thought old people went to Florida to die. Truth is- They come to The Villages to live.

Thats exactly right Tom. We come to The villages to do alot of living and The Villages has some strange magical effect on people and they actually feel young again. I dont understand it exactly but its wonderful!
Good luck with your buying and selling. It is worth all the effort in the long run. Life is good!

Hi Oceangirl,
You won't regret it for a minute! We're not frogs yet, but every time we are there, we love it more and have a harder time leaving. Welcome to Lower Paradise!
