I love it and you are correct! When I first moved here the guy bagging my groceries at SweetBay told me he was a doctor in his former life!!!

BTW, husband was a firefighter for 28.5 years.

Me, variety of clerical-type jobs when needed, stay-at-home Mom rest of the time.

After 4 1/2 years in the Navy as a Boatswain Mate and 38 years with the telephone company, (Southern Bell, Bellsouth and AT&T) as a construction manager. I called it quits in 2008 and bought a mini farm, mainly cut grass, grow vegetables and drink coffee. I am also a volunteer Fire Fighter and a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) instructor. I serve as our county's CERT Coordinator as a volunteer. This way I get free coffee at our counties Fire Stations.
I am now waiting on my beautiful wife who has been an executive secretary for 35 years to retire or get fired, which ever comes first. We had our life style visit to the villages in August and can't wait to become a frog. She wants to spend a month in The Villages selecting a home before putting our farm on the market. Hope to be a part of your family within 12 to 18 months.:pray:
