Your videos are a mental vacation, we enjoy them!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, LP!

[@sms4925]

The music on this is just right. Not too loud/annoying. 😃

[@SM-qh2mz]

Lovely cart ride!! Enjoyed it a lot! Please do some more areas as it's fun to see them all.....The Villages is huge!!

[@adamstoehr3795]

Hey Guys, Nice ride! Enjoyed the trip. Thanks again. " Lincoln Quote - You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time". For Gizmo... "Lincoln Quote... How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg." One more... "Lincoln Quote... No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar." Great work guys!

[@GringoLoco1]

Nice ride-along with the famous doggo (and his humans). My love of and admiration for the railsplitter began in childhood and is eternal...

[@karenseman8258]

Loved sharing your sunset cart ride with music 🎶 !

[@triciaallen3200]

The title cracked me up. Another great cart ride thanks for taking us along. You two are so cute together. Have a great weekend :)

[@RobertGarcia-yg9cf]

Great golf cart ride, thanks for taking us along.

[@smc5801]

Thank you for taking us along we love viewing the golf cart rides through the Villages.

[@floweringplumb4678]

I enjoy the background music. It is not too loud, and a perfect compliment to your narrating and describing the golf cart ride. Your creativity and variety is coming thru on your videos. Job Well Done!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks for your kind words! 😁

[@lindabartlett9963]

I moved from CA. to Austin 3 yrs. ago where 35 years old is considered “middle age” so I really enjoy hanging with people my own age on our virtual rides together. You guys are my friends in my head! Thanks Jerry and Linda!

[@jennidavis1969]

This was great, really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

[@mrmotorcarsrs2034]

I don't think I'm the only one that love your cart rides. We enjoy the talks and the ability to see more of the Villages. I don't mind your music on a ride. I'm with you Jerry, like a little music but when you have a multinational and multicultural channel that can have with different tastes, it can become something of an issue. I like that you guys are open to all and consider your viewers. I like what you said, " in the Villages you don't need to be in a hurry". When I retire, I won't be in a hurry either. I want to be out of the rat race and go go go mentality. Slow down see the flowers, trees, and little animals and critters. Like you say enjoy the breeze. I love the fresh air on a drive. Thanks

[@bobsheas]

Music is a great addition to your videos. Not too loud and a pleasant choice. Nice job as always.

[@lindaprior3118]

I liked hearing your sweet expressions to one another. We are Gerry and Linda! Married the same year as the two of you. The four of us are very blessed in our marriages.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

What a coincidence!!! And... your names! 😁😁

[@lindaprior3118]

@@JERRYANDLINDA I know! We have sons also! (4) Two serving in the military.

[@iron1215]

i enjoy the music when its down low and i also enjoy the trivia you throw in about president... keep it up...

[@catherinehillier9155]

Evening adventure for you - Saturday morning ride for us …. Thank you - background music OK and got a kick out of the comment - you guys are “friends in my head!” Enjoy you endless weekend!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Haha, yes…. we meet so many people that say they already think of us as friends. What a compliment!!

[@purpleheartssunlight985]

That was Big Fun! Keep the music, it’s great!

[@terrie1226]

I don't mind the music as long the volume is down....you figure with the golf noise the outside noise and you guys talking there is a lot of sounds going on BUT I love the golf cart ride with both of you and of course Gizmo.... Thanks for a great ride on a beautiful day.....take care

[@jenniferv2198]

Ok Jerry. If Linda wants to text while you drive, that's good. Some women prefer to just tell the man how to drive the whole time, you're lucky to have a gem like Linda

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Nice ride guys, I enjoyed it thanks!❤️

[@janjackson7732]

Love the music~! 'Mail Bag Monday' makes my husband crazy (not in a real bad way..). Gets stuck in his head. I make sure and turn it up nice and loud to make sure he get a full earful of that good cheer! I can hear him humming it as he walks through the house :D Nice job..

[@kimberlyreynolds5421]

Thank-you for taking us for a ride! Loved it!

[@CR-ru1kw]

I appreciate these videos. I love the sunny skies, palm trees & how clean everything looks (live in NYC)🤩😻. Whatever you do with your videos is fine with me 😉. 🥰Gizmo. Thanks for sharing 😘.

[@S4hshs7]

Enjoyed the music and could still hear fine!

[@MsLorie-ef6fo]

I always LOVE watching your videos. It makes me feel like I'm right there with you. The music was relaxing and fun. I could watch it over and over again, and not get tired of it.

[@scottandjanstorey4694]

Thanks for the ride! We are building in SC and can’t wait! Tell Linda there are 1124 homes in SC! See you when we get there!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks. Scott and Jan!

[@tamaraoland5932]

Fun video. Keep them coming.

[@beckyhowes]

Linda you held your breath going over the bridge. We used to raise our feet when we went over a bridge. 🙂 I love the music on the rides!

[@johnzywko5885]

It felt like I was in the backseat on this glorious ride…. Great job,folks… We are doing a lifestyle visit next spring…your input on the Villages is so helpful.

[@lizburtelow1892]

Thanks for taking a ride to St. Catherine. You were soooo close to our house on Coker Ct. that is under construction. We kept saying turn, turn LOL. We can’t wait to get down there and enjoy Sawgrass Grove. See you when we get there!!

[@scottandjanstorey4694]

Hi Liz!

[@beckyhowes]

I like Call The Midwife too. It is interesting how far labor and delivery has come since the 1960s. I was a L&D nurse for over 30 years.

[@Judes121]

Fun golf cart ride 🛺 and now it is confirmed that 🌟Gizmo is the star 🌟 Thanks for sharing. Love the music ‼️

[@ken102]

I like the music.

[@karensnook7419]

I LOVE this!! Thanks so much for taking us along. Can't wait to get back down there. We're staying south of the Turnpike when we visit again. Trying to decide where we want to be when we are finally there to stay!! 😊🌴😎🌺

[@palpatelRN]

Looks nice and peaceful! I enjoy watching you both but love Gizmo!

[@dawnabledsoenexthomeconnec8223]

I love these videos! Thank you so much for doing these. Music is great!

[@mykvalentin]

Beautiful golfcart ride as always, along with the music AND the sunset. The Villages is always clean, peaceful and yet FUN! Btw, YES Jerry, please do an episode of "If you could change one thing about your spouse, what would it be" (as you suggested 35:40 mark). It would be a bunch of laugh to see how much trouble us men would be in 🤣✌️Thank you for posting. Cheers and Kibbles 🍻🥂☕🐕

[@briancasselberry]

Thank you for starting my morning off on a positive note! :)

[@dyna06rivera73]

Really enjoy your videos. You are such a cute couple, God bless 🙌!

[@Miguel195211]

Good morning Jerry and Linda! I love your cart rides.

[@cherylhubert4302]

Enjoyed the Golf cart ride & loved the music. The music was soothing. Thank you & Linda especially Gizmo😂❤️

[@rogojo9853]

What a lovely drive, and the music is a nice touch. I think Gizmo is becoming a KZbin celebrity too. Great video. 🌼✨

[@chriss631]

Love your cart rides and the music.

[@stevenwilburn235]

Thank you for sharing. Great video!,

[@Happylady9621]

Love the music. So relaxing while watching you guys.

[@cjh0147]

My grandfather used to honk the horn in his car when he drove through a tunnel. The next time, if you go over to Meggison Road, just a little further down than where you were, you'll see the new Sawgrass Grove area with the market and bandstand that are being built.

[@lindakeller2099]

Lovely! I’d like to move there, but first I must hit the lottery. ❤️😍😘

[@CynthiaMUrban]

Phew....that was a long one....had to break it up into two parts today...thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[@cynnechocolat3439]

Music or not, either is fine with us. But your volume is perfect: Just enough to linger in the background and we don't struggle to hear what you're saying over it. Also, interesting comment about Lincoln, I was really surprised.

[@lauralampe1664]

Greetings from the Land of Lincoln. Loved he golf cart ride

[@ruthmarini8453]

A lovely ride first thing this morning. Really enjoyed it.

[@karenunverzagt8206]

Love the music

[@ms1212100]

I enjoyed that Immensely!! Thx for including us!!!

[@gregorynp]

Nice ride. You passed my lot on Auster. Hope to be in by October. Someday show us the Sawgrass area in St Catherine.

[@paulmeunier1574]

Just a perfect video as always!!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Paul!

[@colleensmith3374]

Love the music!!!! Keep it:) Love riding along...

[@bethnorth1683]

Love, yet, another journey and narration from you guys. So, great and relaxing! Another big thank you for more information with a :).

[@DisMindy5767]

Love the music. Hey! If Linda likes Call The Midwife, then she might really enjoy Keeping Up Appearances. It's hilarious British comedy. I really enjoyed that ride along. Our visit last month to TV was too short. Had such a great time. Can't wait to go back.

[@davisholman6518]

OH, Linda - Call the Midwife is SOOOO GOOD!👏🏻 Those UK TV shows, set in earlier times, are so well done. Love them!🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@robertwhite6311]

Love the cart rides...front view camera is great...speed is perfect....keep up the good work.

[@beckyhowes]

I like how Jerry says hi to everyone

[@smartybloomers]

Nice tour! Thank you.

[@janmiechiels6926]

I like the music with your rides!

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hi Jerry and Linda. I won’t write a 5 minute comment today. 🤣. I know you said it doesn’t rain every day in Florida but the last 2 times we were there, July 2019 and July 2016, it rained everyday around the same time either in the Largo(3 days in a row) or Orlando (2 days in a row) area. Guess coincidental.

[@jocichon6048]

Lovely ride

[@markphillipson768]

Love the ride alongs, have a great day🌞

[@chriss631]

Love the video and the music.

[@Hugginsince79]

I love the golf cart adventures you share.

[@dianamacedo4843]

What a fun ride. We are coming down next week and will probably be looking in this area. Love you guys.

[@harryp1665]

Absolutely stunning ride along, I really enjoyed it with my morning coffee. As I can’t afford 500k+, I’d like to see a ride through a older area where the homes might be 300k range.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We will try to do it, Harry! 😁😁

[@Remshot1234]

You two are living our dream!

[@juleebailey3046]

I love golf, I'm not very good, but somedays just riding in the cart is fun! I can't wait to get there and take my own rides! Thanks for sharing!

[@TomAllenDrone]

Very pleasant ride... enjoyed the scenery and your commentary. If I lived where there were safe roadways for golf carts, I'd certainly get one.... Looks like an enjoyable way to spend part of your day.

[@pmholcombe453]

Your ride to the St. Catherine area was very relaxing and the perfect time of day. If I was driving, probably wouldn’t find my way back home. Love the beautiful 🌴!

[@beachgal5062]

Love these videos!!! And everything you do is so much fun! I lived in Hodgenville, Ky abt 1 year. Fun you should mention😊 keep em coming and as always "Love you Gizmo!"

[@ronaldschettler5318]

Considering buying shortly. Your videos answers a lot of my questions & concerns. Thanks👌

[@moorhead1962]

My wife and I stayed at a rental house in Chitty Chatty, nice Village, we are going to build a brand new home in St. Catherine!!!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Congratulations! That will be a great area.

[@rayh4929]

Thank you for the video. You drove right by my new house being built in St. Catherine.

[@evelinacosta6067]

I am amazed how The Villages are always clean and looks like a very peaceful place... Can wait until September when we are coming down from Massachusetts to stay and explore The Villages.... thank for all the great videos you put out there.

[@shirleyharold1698]

I love the music, don’t listen to the naysayers. Lincoln was great. If he hadn’t lost his life from a bullet he would have down more amazing things…love your shows and love you guys. Your great. Lots of good info and sites

[@nancyreier6769]

Enjoyed the ride along very much. This is quite different from southwest Ohio where I reside. We have had rain here every day for a week. Blessings to both of you.

[@patfudala4745]

Enjoyed the video!

[@crispykritta]

Love your VLOG and 👍🏼 on the music during the ride!

[@billsugar1183]

Thanks for the ride along. See you next month and I hope to find a home in St. Catherine or Citrus Grove while I am there. Not totally ruling out the Brownwood area. 😀

[@donturno8092]

Next time you go under the 13.8kV power line take a fluorescent bulb with you and watch it come on. I did this in my early years near one and watched the neighbors go nuts.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Will do!

[@richardc488]

Thanks guys! I think they said in terms of numbers, the villages had the most DUI's in all of Florida per community!

[@johntamulonis4626]

Very nice, love your videos!

[@donnakotoff9949]

So much fun!!

Really enjoyed this!

[@mariatheron7016]

Beautiful sunset! Fun ride!

[@ResslerMania]

Nice ride and information. Thanks for sharing. Usually I watch you one my Roku streaming device hooked to my TV so I do not have a way to comment, but I AM watching. :-) Keep up the great work. My wife and I plan on coming down for a brief visit during the hottest time of the year (late June) to see if we can handle the heat. If so, we will go back for another visit during the winter to check out the bust time of the year. Who know, if all goes well, there may be two more residents at the Villages in a few years. 👍😃👍 Have a great week.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

See you when you get here! 😁😁

[@fampichler1]

That was the Ezell Rec Center right next to Sawgrass Grove.

[@debrabyrd1306]

What a beautiful ride

Thank you, Debra!

Loved This Drive About 👍

[@henrymiller4280]

I love the proximity the Peyton villas have to Sawgrass entertainment/ market/recreational complex 😎 very cool , thanks for showing 👍

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Thank you for the ride along. Always enjoy these sightseeing trips and all of you videos. St. Catherine’s development really moved quickly. Lots of homes 🏡 already occupied, of course. As always, wish I was there. Until next time……
