I never heard of The Villages until one of your videos popped up on KZbin. I was looking at Arizona. Now, for health reasons, sadly I’m staying in Minnesota. However I generally am entertaining guests for much of the beautiful summer and beyond. I guess they appreciate it more than I, but they don’t have to live in our god awful winters. If you think about changing your name simply add the word “TO” at the beginning to change “TO THE VILLAGES FLORIDA NEWCOMERS”. I would be more than happy to chauffeur people around in The Villages. I do it here. If it’s a long trip, I’d appreciate gas money, but I’d do it for nothing. It would be my good deed for the day, which I strive for, even if it’s just a smile. Another great start to a beautiful Monday morning.

I used to fly in and out of Sanford from Dulles (in DC) to visit my parents in Lake Mary (not far from you). It was wonderful. Very easy. Not crowded. Often had discount flights (pre-covid; cant speak for now). Sometimes I'd take a shuttle to a hotel near their gated community in Lake Mary and they'd pick me up there. As they got into their late 80s and didnt drive as much, that made it very easy. My parents loved living in Florida. Due to the excellent medical care in the area, they lived into their 90s.

To the person who asked about churches, Hope Lutheran on 466 and Morse is golf cart accessible...I went there twice during this visit. I have driven past several other churchez... St. Timothy's Catholic and St. George's Episcopal near Spanish Springs, Morth Lake Presbyterian near the Historic side, 2 churches behind d Walmart on 466.. Live Oaks Community, and Open Bible Lutheran. New Covenant United Methodist isjust north if 466 behind Southern Trace shopping center. That's just a few of the churches in and close to The Villages. As to a dog's paws getting too hot on pavement, I have seen several dogs in strollers during my visit. Good questions this week.
