Sure, some people intent on being frogs move away before they croak. Circumstances change. An illness, injury or death in the family; an unexpected change in financial status; a discovery that one isn't as happy here as one expected to be are examples.

Life happens.

According to our saleslady..most people move 3 times within the villages. Not me...I will die before I have to pack up for another move!

Good answer. Those are the things that I think about, but they can happen here in Virginia too so we may as take the plunge to TV.

Frogs are full time! You'll be a Seasonal Resident, as opposed to a Snowflake (occasional visitor) or Snowbird (winters in Florida, possibly renting)!

Speaking of frogs I found one of those little fellows in my bathroom. Told him he could stay if he didn't croak. He responded with a croak. Out the door and to my nearest boulder went Mortimer to live with his new family

Well, we have been there, done that, moved to TV in 2004, sold our house here in 2007, moved to Costa Rica, then to Illinois, then to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, then back to TV in 2009. Never moving again.

So Bare - what you're saying is that you don't like being called a Snowbird?


TV Frogs complain about Snowbirds and their impact on the roads, restaurants, golf courses, rec facilities, etc. Never seen a complaint about Seasonal Residents!

Hey Chuck ...Maybe no complaints about Seasonal Residents because SRs pay taxes and amenities all year long, even when living in another State or Country. Categories aren't really important. We're all just enjoying our Golden Years. Life as a wrinklie isn't half bad!

My wife and I decided to spend the summer here instead of going north. As of October we will celebrate our one year here in The Villages and be an official FROG.
