Default Finally making it to the villages

I'm another poor old single guy moving to the villages the first of June. I rented a house in Caroline for two months to give me time to buy a house. Sold all my furniture and put the remainder of my belongings in about 50 apple boxes and heading that way. After living in Mo. all my life, I'm excited about a complete new beginning. How's that for Downsizing? Looking forward to joining the Village Baby Boomers.

Downsized, Congratulations on your impending froghood. Hope your trip to TV and move go smoothly. Keep us posted on your househunting experiences. As a wannabee, I live vicariously through other people's househunting posts!

Default "right sizing"

Actually, it is very freeing! We had a moving sale back home, packed our favorites in 2 cars, and came on down to The Villages to a rental, until we found a new home in a week. It's all good!
