I was homeless, living under a bridge on I-75. Gracie was driving by.......she stopped.......she offered me a meal and a warm bed to rest. The next morning she offered me her house. She moved out and purchased her second home in TV. I understand she owns TV and is on her 3rd home.

how we found the villages?
We are not residents, we vacation here most years.
We saw an article in The Sunday Telegraph, an English newspaper. This was in the late 1980's. We were bringing our sons to Disney, and decided to try to find this Retirement village. Driving up Hwy 27 was an eye opener!! It seemed to me to be a 2 lane dirt road!! Now look at it. I said to hubby, are you sure about this, it does look a bit wild. Well, we found The Villages. We already owned a home in Kissimmee, so we would come up at least twice every time we were in Florida. Sons loved the square. Then it started to grow, and grow Im a Jimmy Buffett fan and was a member of a Parrothead club here in the UK. A lovely lady contacted me and told me about her Parrothead club, it was in T V !!! We arranged a meeting, and have been good friends now for about 12 years!! We met many great friends through the club. We will be back in October We live by the beach on the south coast of England, we have transformed our home in to our version of a Courtyard Villa. We cant live in the villages, but we now have the villages lifestyle. Happy Days |

She coached for Pennsauken and I forgot her name. I never did meet her father down here. That would be something if her dad reads this and pm's me.
[big correction---it was not Pennsauken it was Pemberton] Last edited by tomwed; 07-12-2018 at 10:08 AM. |
