I think a lot also depends on word of mouth. It is amazing how many people we meet in Illinois who know about TV. A couple of weeks ago I shared my TV story with a co-worker and he not only sent for information, he is planning a trip to check it out. My husband is approached at work by so many people to ask about our home and TV. (by the way, Frank is retiring in about 5 more weeks after over 31 years with our local gas utility company! Less than a year to go until we are permanent residents!)

That is so exciting that you will be a frog in less than 1 year. A few of my coworkers (those over age 50) have also heard of TV. I think it may depend on how much research one has done on how and where they want to spend their life once they reach age 55.

Well my Schaumburg friend (we live so close to each other now....we really should get together!), the wait seems to be getting harder and harder as the time draws closer. I try to distract myself by cleaning out 32 years of possessions as well as preparing our home here to sell. We just gave away our piano last night to a very nice family in need. We have been giving much away and it feels good to lighten our load. I have even created a website to record our journey as it progresses. If you want to see it PM me and I will share the link!

On another thread, someone shared a link that showed TV was investing $14million on an exit off the Florida Turnpike. I then got to wondering why Brownwood is so far West. When you see the proposed location of the exit, I believe onto Hwy 44 and then look at the location of Brownwood it makes me wonder what the developer has in mind here. Brownwood is believed to be the "Creme de' la Creme" of town squares, so I'm wondering if they have in mind something even more.

Inquiring minds want to know!

The Villages advertises often on Fox News Channel. In fact "Fox and Friends" broadcast their aniversary show from the Villages. Baby Boomers, at least Feds, are retiring now.

Another attraction is no State Income Tax.

carm... I also live near and would appreciate seeing your travails (sp?) If you and Schaumburger want to get together, I would love to join in and meet you all! Just PM me if you'd like so we don't get off track here...

And the exit off the turnpike sounds well planned and thought out. Inquiring minds all want to hear more!
