Would like to say hi to all. My wife Karen and I are moving in to a new villa in Buttonwood we just purchased in early November. We are snowbirds from Ohio. Karen retired from the phone company and I from VA. I'm an Air Force vet (68-74) and am very much looking forward to the lifestyle and numerous activities. Very into the outdoors and riding my Harley. Hope to renew my golf game and we both like billiards.

Thanks for all the welcomes. The quote sums up our feelings entirely. Stayed in different areas in Fl the past 6 winters and this area just seems right. Plus the Villages feels like FantasyLand for grownups!

HI and welcome to Buttonwood. Be sure to join the Buttonwood Social Club. There are very nice billiard tables in the rec centers..very nice. PLEASE, do not let my hubby see your Harley. He will start whining that he wants a motorcycle again.....

Congratulations on the best decision you will have ever made.

Buttonwood is a wonderful neighborhood. Be sure to attend the Friday night garage parties and get to know all your neighbors.

My wife and I just bought in Buttonwood and hope to be able to move there permanently very soon. We look forward to seeing you at one of our many social gatherings.
