Question What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day in The Villages?

We're here visiting during this rainy day weather. The storms slowed us up getting in.. missed the TOTV luncheon. Just wondering where the popular hangouts are when the entertainment at the Squares is rained out...

My favorite thing to do on a rainy day in the Villages is to sit on the lanai and watch the rain. Then eat, read, sleep, and start the cycle all over again!

There so much to do here when it's sunny, I wear myself out! I love the rainy days to recharge my batteries.

From my personal observation, it appears that a LOT of people go to the supermarkets, department stores, etc. and just wander around aimlessly.

Default Me too Chelsea. I like to watch the rain.

I love to get my art stuff out and draw and paint. And I love to watch the rain. I have always loved a rainy day. I like to have friends over to feed them and to chat. I love to watch TV and I also like to clean.

I know. But I do. I like to Clean.

Will some of you still like me?

Rainy days are meant to get on the computer and check out what the other members of TOTV have to say. Also, head for the "hurricane shelf" and pull out a good book so I can read, read, read while the rain waters the grass and outdoor plants.

Go for a long long walk or jog in the rain with someone, if it is not lightening, and get totally soaked. Otherwise, go to someplace indoors to walk, such as the mall in Ocala, and then to a movie; or go to Katie Belle's - it is usually busy there when it is rainy, or to Margarita Republic's, Urban Flats, or Havana - someplace where there is live music; or drive to a nice mall, like in Sanford, to shop and to take a long walk. If it is a rainy night that they have a live band, we also sometimes like to go to The Vue nightclub in Clermont. I really like to get out, and get wet, and do something when it is raining, not stay in. Also, if it is rainy for very long I go to the tanning bed to get the UV light, which is so important. (I don't buy the sunscare tactics; research shows that being without sunlight is much more of a health risk than getting a moderate amount of sun - just be sure not to get burned; that is when you are risking health problems). Sunshine and being outdoors alot is one of the main reasons I moved to Florida, so let the rain come, let the winds blow, I will be out doing something, regardless.

Freeda,
I really loved your answer. You helped me realize that the reason rainy days get me down is because I stay inside! Thankyou, next rainy day I am going outside and walk in the rain or go shopping or something , anything but stay home! And as Annie said" The sun will come out Tomorrow", that little girl had a very positive attitude!!!
