All of my friends in TV are full time residents as am I.

So you are no longer friends with the people you left just a few short years ago?

Are you the one that buys the food and drinks?

I spend 4 months in a courtyard villa that we own. We had a house and sold it to downsize as my husband doesn’t spend much time in TV…the villa community isn’t as friendly as the village we left. Have had a hard time alone trying to make friends.. do go to rec centers but people seem to be cliquish.. just my opinion

My pack picked me. I knew my neighbors were friendly until I got into real difficulty last year, then they became my extended family. They taught me their hobbies and shared their interests and made sure that I could enjoy their and their doggies’ company regularly. And, yes I live in two places. Perhaps not every street is like that in TV - but I am very grateful for mine.

Maybe they're just friendly people...

More people should try it...

For those who live here year-round, do you actually make strong friendships with people who aren't around for a good part of the year? And for for snowbirds, how has your experience been trying to make friendships?

Thanks.

I find that things vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. Mine is not very social, but I have friends in another village where they are extremely social, both full timers and snow birds alike. In both instances, snowbirds are always welcomed back with open arms.

Absolutely! Some (I won't mention whom) are a cheap buy...

I "think" he's opining that one has to "buy" someone drinks in order to gain their friendship...

Maybe that's the way he obtains friends, but I fond it's more genuine to just be friendly... That and don't cheat at golf...
