With the world in turmoil, a video of two very nice people riding around on a golf cart on a sunny day in Florida does the heart good. Thanks.

[@Jen-fq1jz]

One year later and I can confirm it’s still true!! 😍

[@deedeew4040]

I adore you both. Linda always is smiling, and her smile is contagious. It is a pleasure to watch two people enjoying their retirement, living their dream.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

What a nice thing to say! Thank you DeeDee.

[@lynelljansen8057]

The photo of you two at the grocery store. so cute!!! they need to paint the inside of the bridges with murals, with sea turtles, and palm trees, gators, golf carts. maybe Jerry and Linda 😊

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😁😁😁😁😁

[@marlafoit3079]

I am so envious! Sunshine, blue skies, wind (warm!) and beautiful surroundings!! Thank you so much for taking me on the trip (virtually)!!

[@Mushkiepotamus]

Golf cart ride- One of the best things about living in The Villages !!! A day without a golf cart ride is like a day without sunshine.

[@carolapostolos8929]

😂🤣🤣

[@yogiviben8555]

Would go on any adventure with you both! Have a wonderful day! ♥️🐾

[@Jenzelifer]

Thanks for the relaxing and beautiful ride, as I freeze in gloomy michigan. Give Gizmo a pat for me. Really liked your long historical cart tour also.

[@tammydaniels170]

Good Morning Linda and Jerry. Enjoyed riding along with y’all. Would like to hear more about your trip yesterday to Orlando. Have a great day.

[@TamiDunn]

Good morning from an autumnal South Island in New Zealand.thank you for sharing your positive vibe and adventures 🌻

[@janisclow617]

Fantastic Country!!!!!!!

[@ChristianMusic852]

Good Morning Jerry and Linda ! I just LOVE your adventures ! I've been meaning to tell you that a crafter I watched a lot and still do (her sister and son) are keeping her KZbin channel going. She lived there somewhere in that area her name was Melody Lane she passed away here a few weeks ago at a Cricut convention in Las Vegas due to Covid. Her son Alex still lives there in that area I think it's called Lady Lake if I'm not mistaken. I have this in my bucket list to do (I hope) someday to move to this area. Come April 9th (this year) I have been battling 2 different types of cancer. This looks like such a great living community to live in plus it would put me closer to my kids and grand daughter. Thanks for sharing.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Sorry to hear. Hope you are feeling better!

Good morning Jerry and Linda! Great ride, I can't wait to go for my cart rides!!!

[@brendaburke345]

Thanks for the ride to Sumter Landing. We loved it there when we visited.

[@snowygirl131]

As I viewed this video on a cold, grey, end-of-Winter day, in the middle of my struggle to find affordable housing, I needed to take a beat. While sorting out my car's lease and checking on my food stamps a thought occurred to me: You two were both teachers. I need to be a lawyer to sort through all this- - but it all starts with being able to read. Teachers make lawyers! Maybe one day, if I keep trying, I'll win that settlement and need those banks, investment firms and the sales office at The Villages. 🤞

[@snowygirl131]

Also: Golf cart in Blush Peach with micro-metallic flake & pure white trim. And thanks for getting that song stuck in my head, Jer!

I ordered a purple, Yamaha, gas golf cart. I ordered it the first week in October. It is supposed to be here this month. I hope!

[@brendao2588]

Love all the commentary! Linda you are adorable!

[@deborahjellenburg4939]

I liked the “old car” golf cart you passed. Never seen one like that.

[@maureenbollinger4655]

We ordered a neon green cart when we were in TV in February to purchase our new home. We move into our home at the end of March and will have to wait until June for our golf cart. We figured the neon green would be easy to spot in a parking lot 😉

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

They are pretty!

[@kokoskrib]

Fun video to watch! Thanks for the ride along… the weather looked beautiful! Loved seeing the interactions you had with others…. You guys are kind of a big deal! 😉😃👍🏻

I absolutely love these ride alongs. I would have a orange and white colored gulf cart.

[@Debber0401]

Thank you, Jerry and Linda, for the cart ride t’day! I really needed that! I was feeling extra anxious and agitated, with my brain racing t’day for some reason, this really helped! I hate that feeling! Again, thanks guys!❤️

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

So glad you enjoyed it! We love to hear about it when we brighten someone's day!

Great video! All those cars at the square I wonder if trying to park would be frustrating. If I had a choice I would like a blue cart but any color that works would be fine! Lol

[@juleebailey3046]

I'm so jealous of everyone walking around in shorts. Driving to work this morning I was wearing jeans, a heavy turtleneck sweater, a tee shirt, heavy lumberjack boots, a parka, a hat, scarf,and gloves - it was 2 degrees when I left at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a> am.

[@barbromano9975]

Great ride! Our golf cart is red.

[@deborahjellenburg4939]

It’s been quite a while since I last checked in. I had never been on a “town trip” so to speak, with you and Linda. Wow, they really have every imaginable resource you might ever need don’t they? I’m still gonna try to get my husband to rent a home in there for a while. Do they have rentals for a month? It’s a beautiful place.

[@joangiangola7405]

I loved that ride! My color choice for a new cart would be purple! Or blue like a corvette! Thanks for the ride. Now that I am here I hope I see you somewhere! I do not have a cart. Dippy Donuts on my list! Love to Gizmo. 💕🙋‍♀️

[@Carla_Testa]

While I love all your videos, the golf cart ride alongs are my fave. I love seeing all the neighborhoods and pretty houses and the squares. Your narration during is always quite interesting as well. I would get a maroon golf cart to show some Texas A&M love with a big ol’ A&M decal on the front.

[@sassysasparilla2922]

Loved the cart ride! Very refreshing and beautiful and so fun when folks see you out and about, I’d make a ruckus too! 😁 It’s truly wonderful seeing the squares and golf carts with folks out and about enjoying life. After these past couple of years I doubt I’ll ever fuss about crowded malls or events : ) Sure sweet Giz enjoyed the ride, too. Orange cart for me with a nice seat for a pupper. Thanks for sharing and extra snacks and pets to Giz 🙂🐶🐾💓

That was a beautiful drive. My husband and I will be at The Villages on June 2, 2022. We will be staying 7 nights. We are very excited. It’s going to be great. It should be warm but it will be fun. We get a few weekdays and also experience a weekend. My hubby is wanting an electric cart but I’m wanting gas. Hope to see you then. Jackie, Leon and our dog Rocky.

We used to have a seasonal campsite and zoom around on our golf cart there. It was customary to wave everytime another golf cart approached. Since there are thousands of carts in the Villages - is that a thing there too?
