Please reply to this post with your first name and the Village in which you live. I am curious how far flung our members are in the Villages. If you are a guest, but have never registered, please register and post a reply to this fun thread.

My name is Jan (male) and I live in Chatham.

Gene & Barbara - we currently live in Goodyear, AZ, but don't hold that against us....we're moving to Florida's Friendliest Hometown as soon as we sell in AZ. It's 113 degrees today. I do have to admit, though, that with a humidity of only 6 percent it's not as bad as it sounds. In fact, I played a set of tennis doubles this morning followed by a short practice of softball. Have visited The Villages many times and looking forward to viewing the newest recreation center and the soon to be built 3rd Town Square. Don't forget just how fortunate you folks are to live where you do. Take care.

Hi! I am Helen and my husband Gary and I live next door at Spruce Creek South. We love the Villages and rented a villa there for 3 months before buying here. We just happened into a great deal at the time here and made a decision. We partronize your restaurants, movie theaters, Town Squares, and have also met some great lasting friends in the Villages. We have also introduced many friends from our home state of Michigan into staying in the Villages in the winter.
Have a great day!

Absolutely no regrets. My friends in St. Louis thought I'd gone off my rocker when I told them I was moving to Fla, but most of them think Florida is high-rise million-dollar condos along the beach, so they didn't (don't) understand.

I've made more and better friends here in my two-plus years than I ever really did in my 42-plus years in the same house up north. Yes, there are undoubtedly cliques, but there are so many activities, clubs, like-minded people that you can always find compatible folks.

There are 16 homes with 29 people on my cul-de-sac. We get together every first Friday and have a great time. The entire street gets along very well, and I have three neighbors who vie to take care of The Cat when I travel (which is fairly often).

I suppose I should note that I do NOT play any of the games that consume folks here, so I'm a bit "off the wall," perhaps, but that certainly hasn't been a detriment to my enjoyment of the place. Sure, it helps that my brother lives near by (not in The Villages) and his friends (they live at an airpark and everyone has a hangar bigger than the house) provide a wonderful change from the frequent conversations about golf - I only have to listen to conversations about their flying activities!

Hope you're coming soon and that you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Steve
