Living in a 'senior' community
Do most of you find that living in an over 55 community makes you feel younger? I hear so many times "I wouldn't live in a senior community, I want to be around young people." In my experience, being around 'young' people makes me feel older, not younger. I can't wait until I have a lot of friends around that I can relate to. It's going to be fun remembering the 60s with someone that has been there. I'm sure I won't be the only one with fond memories of Janis, Bob, Beatles, Woodstock (and lots of other unmentionable stuff!!) Steve is a little older than I am, his youthful memories are more in the 50s so I'm sure we will both have a lot of fun when we get down there permanently! To everyone on TOTV....have a great day and thanks for being here!!!!!
Trish P.S. Our open house was a bust...one couple...ugh...just lowered the price $33,000....hoping it helps. |

Living among a homogenous group has more upsides than down. Yet because of the professionals, trades, etc that are of service to the community there is a mix of many age groups

They call this an "active" adult community, but I think they are being too conservative. I find that talking to people and finding how active and busy they are makes me want to be more active and busy. I'm getting ideas all the time about things that I may like to do. In other over 55 communities I'd probably be watching TV all day. I never thought when I retired that I'd be so busy that I would look forward to a blank day on my calendar.

I was at an area grocery store 2 wks ago and a gentleman working there referred to me as "Miss". It made me laugh. As a woman in her late 50s I haven't been called "Miss" in well over 20 yrs. Gotta love it here!

My wife and I are both 57 years old. I made the observation that being retired here in Maryland, one feels that society has passed us by. We both still feel like we are in our 20's, but we could easily be invisible in this youth oriented world.
In the Villages we feel like kids again. It's wonderful to be seen.

The first time my wife and I went to Sumter Landing for the entertainment I looked around and remarked to her that I felt like a freshman in high school -- I was 64 at the time.

Funny you should say that because tonight we drove our go cart from Tamarind Grove to the Square for the first time and my wife and I both felt we were at a high school dance. Can't remember seeing so many happy people in one place. I hope I never wake up from this dream.
