Tunnel Vision, Abandoned Homes, 80 Year Old Party Girl and More!

I live in N.E. Ohio on Lake Erie, and last year my daughter said let’s go down to the lake, so when we got to the lake my daughter said look a pelican. I was stunned and said there are no pelicans around here, so she took me to where she saw it. I was dumbfounded there was the Pelican, thanks for the drone footage of the Villages, absolutely beautiful. Rich from Conneaut, Ohio

Oh my goodness, what a precious little grand daughter.

[@emilymanley8646]

Congrats on your sweet baby Grand Daughter! She is so adorable. :)

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you so much!

I sure miss all the Florida birds. My husband won’t live there, but I had a house in Tampa Bay golf and Country Club for 16 years. We are now in a Del Webb community in SOUTH Carolina. I’m warming up to it, but sure miss those birds!

[@oursenioradventures8513]

Oh my goodness, that is a busy golf course.

Hi Jerry and Linda, not sure if you are aware of this, but if you have an FM radio on during a meteor shower, you can just tune it to a blank frequency and it is possible occasionally to hear short bursts of distant FM stations. The technical term of that type of signal is MS (Meteor Scatter or Meteor Shower). FM Stations received via MS can be heard from hundreds of miles away. From your location, FM stations in NY state, would be a possibility, depending the direction of the meteor shower. You two are not old by any means. We are all only as old as we feel. I am 69 and still going strong. Great seeing the pelicans. I remember seeing pelicans up at Nelson Bay NSW back in 2017. Pickle Ball seems quite similar to tennis. This video is the first time that I have seen it being played. I certainly recognize bunko. We have had that at our church fellowship evenings. The 466 tunnel there with the slope at the entrance reminds me of the old former Kingsway tram tunnel in London UK. Wishing you both and of course Gismo all the very best. Rob.

I live in MA and could see a shooting star. Thanks for the heads up!

For the one viewer question about meeting people at bars. I think getting involved in other activities would be a great way to meet someone.

[@daledivine4625]

Here in TV, golfing is a fantastic way to meet people...

Great drone footage Jerry! Always amazed at the design of birds and their floating skills along with their ‘paddles’! Truly one of God’s beautiful creations.

Hi. Good interesting show today. Like the drone. Congrats on new granddaughter

Hi Jerry and Linda! I have been a nurse since 1984. Let me tell you, the change I have seen in people is utterly amazing! Back then (I was 19) I had patients who were old at 50, 60. Old as in looks and agility, health issues. WELL!! Things have changed! I now have patients in their late 90s, still active, living in their own homes, still looking great! I have a neighbor named Winnie! She is 97 yrs young, still drives locally. So I agree with that article! Congrats on little Winnie! Love you guys💕💕Always look forward to Mondays😉

Congratulations on little Winnie. She is precious! Wow, good to know I am still middle-aged! I like it! I loved the drone footage! Those big birds are so beautiful. When we lived on the shores of Lake Michigan in Michigan's Upper Peninsular, we would see a pair or two every spring.

Hi Jerry, Linda and Gizmo. Well being I’m watching this late 11:30 at night, I missed the shooting stars. Congrats on your little cutie pie. Awwww. That art is gorgeous. The flowers are lovely. Love the drone footage of the birds. Enjoying the questions. Bars. Partying for 80 yr olds. Driving in the tunnels. Pickle ball. Wow. That’s a lot of pickle ballers. So it’s like tennis. Great video as usual. Thanks so much and see you next video.

Thanks for the video. Not sure about your timing visiting your new granddaughter but hopefully everyone is safe in Tennessee. Saludos !!!

[@DisMindy5767]

Congratulations on your newest granddaughter! What a blessing! You know, prices are all relative to where one lives. I live in northern Virginia. We have visited The Villages twice. We have dined at the a few Club houses, and in regular restaurants in the town squares. We thought the prices were pretty reasonable compared to here and our usual vacation spot, Disney World. We visit there at least twice a year. Also, I like the way the covenants work on a complaint basis. Here, our HOA comes around onto our property to inspect it and look for any violations. Sometimes they won't give even when neighbors sign a petition in support of the so called violation which recently was a door color of a neighbor. I'm really looking forward to the day when we can finally call The Villages home.

[@nanettecrawford7067]

I had a great experience playing pickleball as an experienced but limited player ( because of a knee issue) when I was in TV for a month last year. I took the 2 classes and went to the open beginner times at a couple of different rec centers. I met great people in line to play and most everyone was pleasant about the range of skills within the “beginner” level. I was told there was an intermediate beginners group as well. That might be a place to start! Great video as usual! Can’t wait to come down as snowbirds in January!!

Great show! Beautiful granddaughter! With regard to Medicare, I contacted an independent person - not affiliated with an insurance company. She took all my information (medications, health issues, etc.) and found the best supplemental plan for me. I do not pay anything above the Medicare monthly payment, but everyone's case is different.

[@MsLorie-ef6fo]

Looking at the pictures of the pickle ball court, it looks like the courts in the distance were all empty. What's with that? Doesn't look like a shortage of courts to me. Great drone footage, let's see more of that ! Gizzy and his treats..... awww, can't have chocolate or grapes.... well, better to be well than sick, Gizzy. Love you both..!

Congratulations on your new little granddaughter. So precious! I just love watching your videos. And I love traveling through the tunnels on the golf cart.

Thank you so much for the invaluable Medicare information. I have been wondering who to ask and you answered before I even had time to research it! Your teaching abilities really shine through when you’re able to explain Medicare in such simple terms. The burial stats are fascinating too. Hope you’re having a wonderful time in Nashville with Winnie.

Hey Jerry! Hey Linda! Your "miracle" reminded me of a story that Mel Brooks told to Johnny Carson back in the 70's. There's a scene in Blazing Saddles where Harvey Corman orders a box of Raisinettes. The Raisinette people were so happy they sent Mel a 20 year supply. Just saying..........

My pets are my responsibility and go where I go. Pickle ball looks like a cross between tennis and badminton. I was great at badminton in my younger years, but not at tennis.

[@merrywalsh2809]

Great title today guys. The 80 year old party girl peaked my interest lol. Gizmo was not amused. Congrats on your brand new sweet granddaughter. As a retired nurse, I chose regular Medicare plus a supplement. Having seen all the pre-approval and denial hassles with Medicare Advantage plans with our patients, and none with Medicare, it made it an easy choice. It may be harder to find a doctor who takes straight Medicare in certain locations, so check that out. The supplement does a good job of picking up the costs not covered by Medicare; just make sure your provider is billing them after billing Medicare. Not really a problem, but one time this was not done and I caught it.

[@terrywiggins1736]

Thank you for your professional insight on the Medicare Advantage plans. I had a hunch that the Advantage plans were too good to be true, your insite reinforced that belief.

[@susanclark2756]

Congratulations on your new granddaughter! Not surprised that the Villages has their snobs as far as sports are concerned. Though what I do find surprising is that they don't encourage those in the beginner classes to form their own teams. We got a chance to stop by on our way to our winter home i.e. had lunch @Cody;s and walked around the square. Maybe a life style visit on our way home - providing we can find a place to park our dogs for a few days. Though if we could park our rv in front for the 4 days, that would be nice.
