this goes to show there is a God and we all must meet our maker and pay for our sins,, this just happens to be a 7 million dollar pay up,, not much for these folks!!!
Again I say why don't you close the lid on your box and float down that river. You need help.

OP provided some new information to TOTV. Unforturnately one very negative poster, changed the whole thread. With all the responses to that post we can only hope it will be the last.

I hope I live long enough to read a book that really tells us some of this stuff about our home town and it's creators.
gg - according to wiktionary a land hammock is "A piece of land thickly wooded, and usually covered with bushes and vines." and the free dictionary states that the word is a variation on the word 'hummock' meaning, "A tract of forested land that rises above an adjacent marsh in the southern United States".

thanx for helping me learn something new today! it was getting late to do so! ;)

The Morse Family works harder than any of us
 
I have to say that after working for 'The Villages' for over 12 yrs, I know for sure that Gary Morse's children all work their butts off. It is a known fact that they are the 1st ones in and the last to leave and everyone better keep up. They are all down to earth and a pleasure to know.

I'm retired now and able to enjoy the rewards of "The Villages" and have to say, I love it here so much. No one has bilked anything from me or my husband. If they had, there would have been Hell to pay years ago.

We love how the landscaping looks when we leave the house. We love being able to enjoy everything that is offered without worry.

I say this to the "Morse Family"! Go and get 'em! You deserve every penny- oh and 'thank you so much-I owe ya one!':bowdown:

Just curious...does everyone else get the pleasure of a PM from the ""gentleman"" known as VS when they comment on his absurd, ridiculous posts....what's up with this guy????

Moderator 07-18-2012 09:24 PM
Let's stick to the topic of land acquisition and stop discussing other members.

It's good to occasionally be reminded to stay on topic. Sometimes it is practically irrestible to wander into forbidden realms. Thanks for the reminder. I'll try to be more conscientious.

The same road that lead you here will lead you out. You are free to travel it either way.

As a matter of reference, 2,391.42 acres is about 3 square miles which is roughly the size of the original Orange Blossom Gardens and Silver Lake villages on the western side of 441.

Thank you for this great post. I am sick and tired of reading negs about The Morse family from people who really have no idea what they are talking about. They have given many of us the opportunity to live out our lives in a dream - never in my wildest moment did I think I could ever find a community which gives so much pleasure to so many people.

One more thing - I have NEVER, ever, met anyone working for TV who has a bad word to say about TV or The Family.
