Hi My husband Ron and myself (Beth) moved here Sept 06. We grew up in Lockport, NY. I worked for GM/Delphi for 30 years, Ron worked in home remodeling. We now live in the Village of Silver Lake and really love it. We have met so many wonderful people and there is something to do for everyone here. In May of last year I had never heard of this place before, we visited Memorial Day Week-end week and went home owners of a house in the Villages. Anyone considering that move just come visit and you will be greatly pleased with what you see!!!

John & Peggy...We live in State College, Pa (Penn State University), but own a home in Sunset Point. Peggy is taking care of her mother here in PA so we can only visit The Villages for one to two weeks at a time which we do several times a year.

We live in Winifred. When we came there were about 35,000 people. We knew it would be growing and predictions are 100,000 by 2011. Right now I think there is probably 60,000 or so. We can tell the difference with the way some people act. You will always have a few bad apples in the bunch; a few bad drivers, both with cars and golfcarts. A few grumpy people, but just remind them where they live and that should straighten them out. A gentle reminder to you newer retirees. You use to have to scurry here and there when you were working, but now you can take all the time in the world. Just relax and enjoy your surroundings when in the grocery line or at the gas pump. Smile at the bank teller as you wait in line. Think of your children or grandchildren when waiting for your food at any of the wonderful restrurants you can visit. Breath the wonderful Florida night air as you watch the linedancers at the squares. Fall into bed exhausted but happy for another wonderful day in The Villages and say "Thank you Lord".

Rich from Caroline......Suggestion for the Administrator--- Set up message boards for each Village for residents to share infomation

I'm Melva (&George) looking in from Indiana. I'd like to ask what the pet rules or restrictions are. Are the costs of buying, and living, in the Villages pretty close to what you were told to expect? Everything's crazy in Indiana. Any more Hoosiers there?
