A Long Ride On A Gorgeous Day

[@Judes121]

Thanks for the ride !!!!! ❤️👍🏼

[@soniamoreira5003]

Yahoo, another one to watch. I wish our winters were like your winters. LOL. I'm in Canada.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks for watching, Sonia!

[@renethompson9744]

I love the landscapes of palms and Spanish Moss. TV's is beautiful from top to bottom. Thanks for the ride.

[@theresatitus-lawson3431]

Although I've lived here 6 years, I thoroughly enjoyed the golf cart ride! You and Linda were in my neck of the woods when you were on Pinellas Place, St. Charles and Bailey Trail. Lake Miona recreation is where I participate in water aerobic classes! This particular area is around 12 years old and not far from Lake Sumter Landing! Loved the video showing what a beautiful community we are fortunate enough to live in! I call it "eye candy"! You two are the best! ❤️

Great footage and sound quality! And scenery!

[@marymayhew9179]

I love your cart rides! Please keep 'em comin'!! And I don't care if you "lolly-gaggle".

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Glad you like them!

[@karenmahn3040]

HI to you both, we've lived in the Villages for 12 years. The designer homes you were talking about along Buenaventura Vista used to be a field of buffalo.

[@lisalefner7967]

Thank you for sharing your drive - loved it!!!

[@ronaldhall2489]

Thanks for the ride

[@kathybinthe6037]

I like the banter between you and Linda on the cart rides. My husband and I have been renting for the month of November and we use our golf cart as much as possible. Yesterday we were out driving the cart for 3 hours. You really get to see more of the scenery that way.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

That's the way to do it!

[@terristhriftyfinds]

Made it to the end.....visiting from Brownsburg, Indiana!!

[@OnePoodleFan]

As a person considering the Villages in the near future, I really enjoy these types of videos (and especially the bike ride ones). It would be kind of cool to show a map of your route for us newbies to get a better bearing (maybe at the beginning). No biggie. Thanks again for the video.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Glad you like them!

[@jcramton13]

I really enjoy your channel…such positive and humble people! Thanks for the lovely drive.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@brianglombowski154]

Finally found time to watch this video. It was great to take a ride around TV. It's funny, I was following along on Google Maps, then you made mention of some viewers perhaps following along on Google Maps. Then when you said "lollygagging", I looked it up to verify the correct usage, and sure enough, you made mention of that too. I stayed with you for the entire trip. Thank you. Your videos mean a lot to us.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you, Brian!

[@johnfeet5476]

We watch these ALL the way through. Lifestyle visit scheduled. These videos really help you prepare, thank you both (whoops, all three) for doing the hard work to make it easy for folks like us. We qualify as Superviewers!

Buy a house there plus amenities would be cool, but a golf car tour would be the top and the bonus with yall. Take care

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you!!! You learn as you go. We will never memorize all of the streets, that's for sure.

[@Rosyred5147]

Im just fascinated with you being a tour guide, you both always seem to know what to point out and comment on. Don’t ever stop doing this .

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Rosy!!! 🙂🙂

🤩😎😍Beautiful ride. Jerry, every time you compare NYC to situations at the Villages, I just laugh 😆😉. Since I’m a born and bred New Yorker it’s Paradise just looking at it; let alone living in it🤩🙌😍. Many thanks for sharing such a wonderful calm ride🤩😎😘. Hugs & kisses to Gizmo🥰. Hoping you & yours have/ had a great Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁.

[@karenstasik2979]

My realtor told me that the veranda homes are designer homes with fenced backyards. And I wanted a veranda because of the backyard. Some homes I looked at had very small backyards and some larger. I'm on a corner so my lot is larger and I got it not only for my dogs but because I'd like to put in a pool at some point. Just getting my golf cart that I ordered on Monday and I'm a little nervous about driving it. People like to go a lot faster than I probably feel comfortable at this point. I'm going to be one of those little Pokey ones. At least at first.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Congrats Karen! You'll do just fine. Don't take any ugly responses personally, everybody has to learn. 😁😁

[@nf2885]

We live in Collier and I love the views here. We (my husband and I) always comment about "what a beautiful day in The Villages" it is.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Collier is a great neighborhood.

[@allyvictoria4092]

Hi jerry and Linda! I’m 23 and I love your videos, I’m a new subscriber! You both look great! I did have a question though, do many homes have a fenced in yard? I noticed not many do in the video but I would assume most people have dogs?

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We love it when younger viewers take the time to watch and comment! Thank you Ally.

[@matt51402]

Always enjoy going on a ride with you! Wife is home with Covid she had gotten,so no thanksgiving with our kids and grandkids.

[@chandeliers1022]

☮️♥️☀️🌹 Jerry and Linda, Happy Holidays! Actually, palms love hot and cold weather, they grow even better in the desert where people don't water them and put blankets over them. They actually love the snow and grow better in the deserts where they hardly get water. The same way roses in Europe grow better where they have the four seasons and they are never covered up with blankets. If you cover them up, they're not getting air and the leaves can't breath, it's like you're choking them and that's why they wilt and die because people think they need a blanket like horses, by covering them up with a blanket. In the wild, horses run even more so they don't feel cold and don't have a blanket in the first place in the wild. I found that out for myself as well, as we adore palms and have palm trees. If we water them too much, they literally die. Once you plant them and give them very little water once a week, they're a lot more happy than to water them three times a week. In the desert, they live without water. Covering them up is just choking them to death, just like roses that we have done and they died as opposed to the ones in Europe that are never covered up and they keep coming back for decades, especially the ones at Buckingham palace that the queen adored in one of her many gardens and they're never covered up in the wintertime. Cheers to the fabulous palms and roses!🌴🌹

[@carolapostolos8929]

I agree with you Jerry I don't like to get up early. HAPPY Thanksgiving Jerry and Linda!!

[@Robert-xo3uf]

I think the term 'lollygagging' came from the old days when a draft horse stood around idly chomping and slobbering on the bit while waiting for the wagon to be loaded. Lots of saliva involved. Modern usage is similar to loitering, but even more so.

[@johntamulonis4626]

Great ride and love the commentary as you drive, very nice. Thank you Jerry and Linda.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Our pleasure, John! 😁😁

[@ronniedelaplain6722]

That’s what I do everyday try to get out of the house and enjoy my golf cart ride. To Lake Sumter, Spanish Springs and Brownwood, have a nice lunch. Sometimes fine a golf course with a tee time opening. Or back home to Gunny and Sarge. Love The Villages. Thank you for bring exciting travels around the Villages. Happy thanksgiving to you and yours.

Where are the gators in the water???

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We saw several today.

[@drivingnewengland-thedrive]

Happy thanksgiving. I enjoy watching your videos. Something I noticed with the cars stopping at the cart crossing at each of the cart crossing where a car stopped there was a stop sign mounted to an orange and white barricade just before the crossing so the vehicle were obeying the sign. One over the signs can be seen at 46:18.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, they are repairing the gates. The drivers were being very cautious. And that is a good thing! Normally the stop signs are not there.

[@markphillipson768]

Always love these ride alongs and seeing the Beautiful Villages.

[@lchinchey]

Thanks for the ride. I think awhile back you said you wanted to remove one or two of your palms? Would you, or could you, sell them to people who are just starting their landscaping in the new developments? A few years ago you could get thousands for mature palms. Just a thought.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Thank you for the great ride and Happy Thanksgiving. Lollygagging is of unknown origin. Lots of near misses today. You have to be ever vigilant. The dog was wearing a gentle leader. Prevents dogs from pulling in the leash. Works extremely well on larger dogs or dogs with longer snouts. I have Pomeranians and the male wriggled out of it in two seconds. The female is well behaved and can walk off leash, but I don’t often do that because it could be dangerous.

[@joyscadden5438]

Loved the ride! We rented a home in the Bokeelia Villas last winter so enjoyed getting a refresher of the area. We are renting a home off Fenwick Loop/Pinellas this winter. Hope to see you when we get there in January! Wisconsin snowbirds!

I love the sheet pancake for a large. We had eight in our family growing up and I wish I hand known this then. So helpful. Love all the videos now. More please. Love your cooking style. It is much like my own. I enjoy your style of real life videos. Thank you so much for the time and extra energy it takes to film for us. Seeing the sheet pancake in the oven made me wonder if you do french toast in the oven too?

[@annehajdu8654]

A Happy Thanksgiving to both of you. And Gizmo too.

[@stevesmith5021]

Interesting look around and well presented commentary as usual. See there is enthusiasm for the golf cart rides, but just a word of caution. As far as I am aware they are not crash tested. Two carts approaching at 40mph actually would meet at a combined 80mph, so great care is appropriate whenever other carts or the more robust cars are about. Hopefully there are few major incidents with carts in the Villages, but just need to be alert to the vulnerability of the cart when driving near to others. Keep safe and look forward to many more shows.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, they are not built to sustain much of a crash. However, the carts are not supposed to go over 20MPH.

[@stevesmith5021]

@@JERRYANDLINDA Seems like a pretty fast 20mph on the video, but I believe you!

[@tvjake3202]

My wife loves to take GC rides to look at TV. We live up north in the village of Del Mar and have taken many rides south over the Turnpike. When friends come to visit we have them drive one of our carts and head south we all head south.
