Retirement might be a couple of decades away for me, but watching your videos makes me eagerly anticipate that chapter of life! The Villages look absolutely charming. Jerry and Linda, your content is incredibly soothing and immersive. I particularly enjoy your leisurely rides, whether by bike or golf cart, showcasing the beauty of your surroundings. Keep up the fantastic work, and here's to many more captivating videos!!

Oh wow! You could not have selected a better location for the bench. What a beautiful spot!! Can't wait to meet you now that we got here!

[@jenifermac-5150]

What a beautiful location for Gizmo's bench! Thank goodness Linda didn't get hit by the golf cart. Slow down, driver!

[@michaelseibel858]

Such an enjoyable video - And I’m so fortunate to have Gizmo’s pad and future bench right here in my village Of Richmond - only a five minute walk from my home - Looking forward to lots of great sunrises and sunsets while sitting on the bench and remembering dear Gizmo!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

That is wonderful Michael. Of course you are part of our channel. Two of the most popular shows we've ever done. ❤❤❤

Looks like a wonderful spot for Gizmo's memorial bench.

[@KaySellsVA]

Love the location of Gizmo’s bench!! Having a water view is just perfect. ❤

[@lulububu721]

I thoroughly enjoyed the “stroll” through the villages and especially to where sweet little Gizzys bench will be. A place we all can take a minute or two to have a rest and a drink. I am so happy that Gizzy had so many friends and we were so happy to be able to contribute to such a happy cause, something that will make many people happy and I bet sweet Gizmo is sitting up there on the rainbow 🌈 bridge with all his friends new and old and having a grand ole time. I think having a lovely bench in his honour was a fantastic idea, it just fulfilled everything that sweet Gizmo was in life 🩷🐾🩷 I don’t think people who don’t have any pets or we’re not raised with animals as pets don’t quite “get it” but that’s ok……we get it enough for everyone 🩷 thank you for sharing Jerry and Linda, we sure appreciate it and you!! Love you guys🩷 🩷🐾🌈 🙏🏻🌈🐾🩷 Tina 🩷

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We appreciate your kind words, Tina. ❤❤❤

[@patriciamorrow6046]

Definitely interested in a trike - cannot wait for Linda's show!!

[@lchinchey]

That's a beautiful spot for Gizmos bench. Thanks for sharing the ride. Not too long. 😊

[@lizhaley803]

I think I’d have a long red flag 🚩 on my bike. 👏🏻 good for you two, I’d be nervous with all the traffic.

[@user-wy1tm4ej5h]

TV is such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the sites while riding a bike, we love it! 😎The benches are a great place to stop for a break! Look forward to stopping at Gizmo's bench - a beautiful location to reflect on all of his funny jokes!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We agree!

[@maryjanehiggins4974]

Great video! I think you picked a beautiful spot for Gizmo’s bench. He would love it!

[@vicdozer]

Nice bike ride 👍 also Thanks for the heads up regarding the near tragedy, that was scary 😱. Video wasn’t bad at all plus the sound was perfect 👍…

[@chrisd.9513]

Thanks for the ride guy's... I didn't even break a sweat. Lol

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Glad you enjoyed it, Chris.

[@drtomdrabczyk]

Excellent video highlighting the E-bikes! I didn't mind the music at all and I liked that we could hear both of you clearly! 😊

[@AndiS-dz4pq]

I love this video and I love TV. You two are so adorable and kind. Linda is a sweetheart. It’s clear how much you care for one another, and Jerry, your attention to Linda’s safety is so genuine. I never got to know Gizmo but I miss him just like your other viewers do. This bench and its location will be the perfect memorial for him. Perhaps next year when my husband and I come down from up north to visit our friends in TV, we’ll check out Gizmo’s Spot. Have an awesome day everyone!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Andi! So nice of you.

Hi Linda and Jerry. Love going for rides with you 2. Gizmo's bench is in such a beautiful spot. Looks very relaxing. Have a wonderful sunny 🌞 day. Here in Massachusetts, it's been another 3 days of gray, dismal, rainy & windy days. Ugh!!

[@karenfarrington6690]

Looking forward to Linda’s video about her bike. I have an Lectric brand e-trike and am enjoying it so much.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Coming soon!

[@victoriadevlin6925]

I kept moving my head up to get a better view. 😂 Great spot for Gizmo. Cannot wait to get there.

[@hosegooseman5]

I’ve experience that moment like you guys, entering The Brownwood bridge from the parking lot, way to many times. People over speeding, not anticipating that tight turn. 😮

[@candymcclellan1641]

What a gorgeous spot for Gizmos bench & then you can visit any time you like. ❤Jerry you don’t have to apologize, excellent, lovely visual tour! Safety first & love each video!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks so much, Candy!

[@soniamoreira5003]

What a beautiful pad for little Gizmo. If I was there I would go visit weekly. Its a beautiful drive and the destination is even more beautiful. Well done Linda and Jerry you picked the most picturesque place for your buddy. Thank you again for sharing with us.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Sonia.

[@joemancurreri6635]

That Golf Cart lady didn't even apologize. She was totally out of control.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

She was!

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Probably too shocked to speak! Wonder how she feels now about being nationwide?!!

[@teresaburleson7226]

I’m so thankful Linda is okay🙌🏻 That cart was headed towards her😮 Please be careful. It’s those crazies you have to be mindful of Loved seeing Gismo’s pad. Such a beautiful spot and the view is so peaceful looking. I’m glad you kept searching 🐶🌅❤

[@marywilson1948]

Love this beautiful bike ride!!! Thx so much for taking us along!!!😍

[@pattidavis8043]

Love love love the pad. Perfect! OMG, from my angle, looked so scary when that lady almost hit that pole and slid towards Linda.😮

[@wandavandegraft8396]

That was a nice trip. I jumped when that lady came around the corner!

[@marykoritheasmith2411]

Gosh now that was an adventure. Good exercise, with the purpose of seeing Gizmo's bench site. 👍 Remember the driving campaign "watch out for the other guy". Well we can watch but we can't think for them. Cool high vis vests and helmet gear. Thank you for the ride along and being such good sports 🏆🏆

[@jaycegallagher3240]

I must have watched this video 100 times!!! Just moved to the Villages and fallen in love with E-Biking thanks to you guys.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to you and Linda. Next time I’m in the Villages I’ll have to look for his memorial bench💞Safe travels on your e-bikes. Love Linda’s trike.

[@Memelife62]

Love watching your adventures. That was scary with those two close collisions. I sure would be nervous on that Main Street. Beautiful spot for Gizmo’s spot ❤

[@smileyone6186]

Jerry I like the music. I thought I would not enjoy the video since the camera was low. But I did enjoy it. I like you And Linda comments along the way. Linda you are soooo stinkin cute😂I am so thankful that woman didn’t hit you. Thank you for all you do❤

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Glad to have the chance to talk about Gizzy again. Sometimes all the condolences come at the beginning and then we try not to mention upsetting topics. Can’t wait to see the bench when it’s all done ❤

[@debbietart5341]

I loved the ride. Last summer on our second lifestyle visit we drove that bridge every day. Gizmo’s bench is in a perfect location. We’re coming down in June this year. Tom and I will enjoy sitting there. We lost our toy poodle , Pepe’ this year. He had been part of our family for 16 + years. It was a very sad time in our lives. Thanks again for a fun video. Love y’all. 🐾🐾💙 hope to meet you both this time.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

[@karenanderson6495]

Always enjoy the rides! You found a beautiful spot for the bench with the view of the water. Seems like a lot of golf cart traffic on your ride...some very impatient people!!

[@Bill_and_Jeanie_Steele]

Oh Man- You hit the lottery with that spot for your bench! It is perfect. We love our eBikes and we love our bluetooth communication helmets. Stay safe.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We like our helmets but that does sound great.

[@MarissaBGC]

Great location for Gizmo's bench. I'll see it when I get there! 😃

[@ChynnaBlue1]

Some cities offer rebates on eBikes and scooters. I live in Austin, Texas and Austin Energy offers rebates from $200 up to $1,300 for eBikes from approved vendors. I encourage anyone looking for an eBike, electric cars, solar panels, and other energy efficiency home projects to reach out to their local government, state government, and energy companies to see if they offer any rebates or incentives to help you save money or lower energy bills, all while helping the environment! Great video, Jerry and Linda. The sound was so clear that I thought you added audio as a voice over when you started. The camera was low, but it was still an excellent ride and the views are lovely. I love that Linda got a real life shout out! I truly appreciate how conscientious you always are about safety whenever you do a bike or cart ride. I had never even considered a three-wheeler before, but Linda has changed my mind. Being a shorty has always made cycling more difficult for me. Seeing Linda manage it with more confidence and no worries about stopping and not being able to get a foot on the ground was great! Seeing Gizmo’s future bench was beautiful. Y’all chose a perfect spot. It will be so nice to sit, look at the view, and reflect on your days with your furry friend and your lives together.

Beautiful spot for Gizmos bench! Really nice scenic ride. Geez, now I know what you mean about golf cart etiquette. Some of those people were crazy drivers! Except for the go pro being a bit too low, it was a perfect video. Looking forward to hearing more about Linda’s bike.

[@catherinewyrobeck5388]

You continue to be such a DELIGHTFUL couple. A very compatible team :). The spot for Gizmo is incredible...you found the best spot possible. Far from Wisconsin but watch you every episode....very entertaining channel.

Happy Thursday Jerry and Linda. Oh e-bike ride. Nice. Looking great on these bikes guys. A 3-wheeler is what I need and Linda in the lead has zoomed away 😂.🚴🏽 🚴🏽. Near tragedy? Oh my. She was coming too fast on that turn. Glad Linda is ok. Handled that like a champ. Didn’t panic and was able to continue. Thanks for that heads up. I would be afraid riding next to the pond re:possible 🐊’s. Nice view at Gizmo’s pad. Thanks for sharing. Have an amazing weekend 🤗
