Welcome home, Suzanne!
I like that word HOME!

What a coincidence. I am renting a patio villa for one week in Sabal Chase from Oct. 8 to 15, so I believe we will just miss each other. You can kiss your snow shovel good bye!!

Suzanne,
Congrats on this new phase of your life! While renting before our purchase last year we met some wonderful folks. BTW, two of our rental experiences were in Sabal Chase! The folks at the pool invited us to their pizza parties. I am certain that you will be comfortable with your decision. Enjoy!

tainsley, LOL you don't want a golf cart lesson from me!! I had a few people actually pass me on the golf cart paths when I was in TV in July. But toward the end of my visit in July I was getting up to 20 mph on the golf cart paths -- zoom, zoom. I will have to refresh my golf cart driving skills in October. And I will have to learn the golf cart paths south of 466 as I didn't take the golf cart past Spanish Springs in July.

Suzanne, Much good advice already. One thing is that you get start a new life from the beginning, as in start all over. You can be the person you always wanted to be and have the life you only dreamed of. It is just a rare opportunity that comes with a move to such a beautiful and friendly place. Fun

It was your post back in July that gave me the confidence for my first drive! Thanks!

Default Take a walk around your neighborhood

Everyday we took a walk around the neighborhood and said hello to anyone outside. If they seemed like an extroverted people we chatted for a while. Couple of times we were invited over for drinks, so we reciprocated in kind also. That's how we made our first friends. Today, I received a personal message on TOTV from a couple we made friends at the mail box. I commented on how great his golf cart was. He showed me all the bell and whistles on his cart and later we visited their house. This was during the first week of being there. One thing we did and should't do was to walk one hole of the golf course and chat with people after they had hit their balls. They were friendly but immediately thereafter, we saw marshal's cart come our way. He was nice but told us we can't do this. As a golfer, I knew that but just wanted to test how far we could go to make friends.

Maybe we could learn together.......I've driven cars for 46 years but driving a golf cart scares the, well you know, out of me......

Thanks for this advice......I hope I am courageous enough to take and run with it. Thank goodness I never did believe you can't teach old dogs new tricks...
