A blessed getaway from the routine. The golf carts are a hoot, and I am with you on not wanting to live in a place that's only for "older" folks.

We watched it go up from nothing and are completely in AWE of the place. We sometimes go for dinner there because they have chain restaurants we don't have!! I think it is a fun place to walk through but I would not want to live there.Nolefan Ocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526028943242508253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770812058495583430.post-38821041803485078972014-02-08T09:35:48.679-06:002014-02-08T09:35:48.679-06:00I'm glad you got home safely.

For a short time, Greg and I lived in Sun City and didn't like it one bit. Too many older people in one place! I love older people but I like a mix of young and old. I think it keeps you young at heart. And I do think many of the younger ones need some of us older people. :)<br /><br />Blessings and love,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770812058495583430.post-23335268362231600902014-02-08T00:15:29.661-06:002014-02-08T00:15:29.661-06:00WOW!

We drove right past The Villages on the Interstate (twice!) a few weeks ago while we were in Florida, so I was very interested in what you would have to say. I also was very curious how you fared with that awful weather.

We have friends who live there, he was a golfer, but I'm like you I want to be surrounded by folks of all ages. It does sound like a nice place to vacation though. Glad you made it back safe and sound.Maryannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147215921425305908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770812058495583430.post-15404851135693200962014-02-07T11:17:33.909-06:002014-02-07T11:17:33.909-06:00Of course who could have ever predicated that kind...Of course who could have ever predicated that kind of weather in that area!

But as I've mentioned before, my dad has friends who live there and love it. My parents wintered there a couple of winters when my mom was still living, and we visited. <br /><br />Glad you made it there safely and enjoyed your visit.

I imagine you were never so glad to get someplace in your life...goodness! But looks like a wonderful time once you were finally there. I think I might be like you...a wonderful place to visit, but don't know if it is somewhere I could live. And again like you, I enjoy all ages. Well, enjoy your week-end!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.com
