The Villages Newcomers Tell All

[@GoldWingnut]

Keep up the good work guys, I always enjoy the morning laugh you provide.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Don!🙂🙂

[@russellp4160]

Her comment " People love to see people living everyday life". So true, at least for me. That's why I gave up television, and only watch KZbin.

[@lauramalik1257]

Me too, I learn & watch KZbin

[@barbbehnke798]

My husband says "my" son or house, etc ALL the time! After 36 years marriage My Oh My! Love that someone else has the same habit! Enjoy your videos!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@PaulaMiller-m8z]

Thanks to you both. I have learned so much about the Villages. Now I am tasked with what to do about it. Love the life there but also love Ga. So for now living vicariously through your videos. Thanks for allowing me to live the best of both worlds. 😅

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@status-xk8kr]

Jerry and Linda appeal to many people for many different reasons? They provide useful information about The Villages for those who are living there and for those who are thinking of retiring there? They seem to be the kind of neighbors that many people would like to have? They seem to be like the parents or grandparents that many wish they had? They seem like really nice people who care about others and many of us find them entertaining to watch?

[@kylereed980]

I love this?? Because it really shows the adventure of Jerry and Linda...

[@marypaquette8705]

Some people were Grumpy when the were younger, and it continues as they grow older, that being said " love Ya", and of course THE GIZ!

[@mariekendall5471]

I am agreement people writing ignorant comments are just rude. I guess some have not learned that if "you can't say anything nice don't say it at all"! 😃

[@tammydaniels170]

Living on the East Coast of Florida I completely understand both y’all’s hesitation of moving to the coastal area of Florida with the risk of Hurricanes. The one thing I appreciate the most about you guys channel is you are easy and interesting to listen to sure can’t say that about so many KZbin channels. Blessed to have found your channel. 💜

[@laurarahz12]

Not just retiring people watch, I’m in my 40’s with elementary aged kids and I watch 2x a week! Love you guys you inspire me!!!!

[@thomasyenner2499]

"You're the reason we're here." "Well I hope you like it!" I laughed out loud at that one, Jerry. Loved it.

[@airybrook]

I love these two. Jerry's description of Linda's hesitancy and how he handled it is couple perfection.

[@sallypriest4363]

Loved the podcaster interviewing you guys. She did a great job. Linda, I hope your identical twin visits some day so we can see the two of you together. I’m impressed with how well you raised your sons - all graduates of military academies - wow!

[@DeborahLynnM]

They have a video of them going to Orlando to pick up Linda’s twin sister. It shows them together. Two gorgeous identical ladies! 😊

[@raymondplodzien7459]

Totally loved this. Don’t let the hater’s keep you from making such a wonderful show. Some people find fault with every little thing.

[@janicew6222]

I remember when I first watched your channel, you only had around 200 subscribers, you've come a long way and deservedly so. I certainly get my pennies worth every week!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you!!! 😁😁😁😁

[@ftmiller3]

Truly inspiring conversation with the adorable Ruth Dyer. Thank you for all you do.

[@steveboussom6564]

If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. John 15:18 Jerry and Linda you are making the world a kinder and sweeter place. Don't spend time with the hater comments. I love you both and your Gizmo. Thank you again for the show.

[@bjvincent8786]

Great interview Ruth Dyer did a great job! Hearing you discuss your old home of 33 years such as old family memories, how much you accumulated, going up/down stairs and the house maintenance as you get older. Makes me realize just how much after 50 years we have accumulated in our current home which we also built and what we will have to do if we also move to a smaller home. Sadly, living in Canada the way the housing market is; even if we sold everything (vacant lot and our home) we would not get a home as nice as yours in The Villages.

[@Jen-fq1jz]

I’m in my 40s and watch you obsessively! 😍 I think it’s that as a society, we don’t get to see a lot of examples of “older” folks having FUN. You two give us all something to aim for! 😎 Thanks for all you do. 💗 I’m already planning my move!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Jen, we really appreciate that.

[@shannonswitzer5512]

What a beautiful story. I found it to be uplifting. I am working on letting go and moving on. God bless you two.

[@jodystancliff7864]

I'm in a new home in Citrus Grove and have TONS of storage here (Hammock model). I feel very fortunate. I know a lot of models don't have as much storage.

[@Coco-t5d]

Jerry, seriously, all of your shows are diamonds. Love you guys. Very relatable, very entertaining, very relaxing. Keep going. Please continue.😍

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks so much M7974! We appreciate your kindness! 🙂🙂

[@willmcgowan9971]

Jerry & Linda - thank you so much for your story. Your vlogs are so entertaining. The wife and I are so looking forward to our lifestyle visit in April 2023 and hope to run into you. Keep up the good work - you are loved more than you know.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks so much! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolapostolos8929]

Hope you two know you bring joy to your followers. Another excellent video.

[@sharonscain7673]

Awesome! Love Jerry/Linda

[@suzfindsnyapts]

I love the story of how it all started just uploading a video for your family to see!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Suzanne! 😁😁

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey Jerry and Linda. Omg. A 54 min video. My comment will be too long. I’m sure it’s great. Gonna watch now and enjoy. I’m already tearing up when you said high school sweethearts and married 44 yrs. Ok guys. I’m watching now. Thanks so much and see you next video.

[@seaglasscolor]

I love your smile, Linda!

[@kellyshear4263]

Hello Linda & Jerry, I am no where near retirement. I stumbled across your video and can’t stop watching. I think the reason people like to watch you guys is because it’s positive. I’m this political environment it’s a relief to see just a regular couple living in a positive way. We live in South Tampa with two kids and a dog but want to say that I’d love to host you for lunch if you’re ever in the neighborhood. You guys make me feel so normal no matter what kind of day I’ve had. My best, Kelly O. Shear

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Kelly. That is so nice to hear, and it is exactly the reason that we have our KZbin channel. We appreciate you watching, and fried chicken is my favorite. 😁

[@kellyshear4263]

Ha ha ha ha. Ok, so I haven’t ever made fried chicken but could certainly try. Although, if you eat pork I make sweet & sticky pork ribs that was my mother in law’s recipe and everyone seems to love them. 😀

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Just kidding, we don't get down that way. But it sure was a sweet offer. Thank you so much.

[@kellyshear4263]

@@JERRYANDLINDA I understand. It’s probably not that regular to invite complete strangers into your home for lunch. Lol

[@wayne6066]

Teachers teaching folks about the villages is very helpful and useful. I'll see ya when I get there.

[@yogiviben8555]

Hi Jerry & Linda! Great interview! I hope someday you guys will do a show with Linda’s sister, too. You guys always make me smile. Have a wonderful day! 🥰🐾♥️

[@saracruz9393]

When Linda smiles I smile, she has a great personality, just came across your blog, love it

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathybriscoe1474]

Thank you for another excellent informative video.

[@Mushkiepotamus]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE living in The Villages - Fenney. And I am really happy there isn’t tons of storage. I LOVE having less stuff, having less to maintain, clean, organize, repair, insure, feel guilty about not using- the more FREEDOM!!! Don’t store stuff when you move here- get rid of anything you don’t use every day and experience freedom!!

[@jeffb.2469]

Another great video. You guys are awesome, and you're the type of people that would make great neighbors. I think you're down to earth, honest and funny, and people can really relate to you. Thanks for providing this service - allowing us to dream of retirement in The Villages one day.

[@deedeew4040]

Jerry you make me laugh. Congrats on 44 years of marriage. Enjoy your videos. Hugs to you both. You are a fun couple.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@jimchambers9654]

Really enjoy your show and appreciate the humor and positive attitude. Linda’s laugh and smile should be required viewing for all the angry, negative, and unhappy people. Thanks for the hard work and great information you guys produce weekly.

[@kronky18]

Jerry and Linda, I live in Oklahoma, not even considering moving to the Villages but love watching your videos! Why do the naysayers even watch?! Keep up the good work!

[@Doglover1709]

What a wonderful interview. Linda and Jerry, you are great people. Thanks for sharing your world with us. But I love the cold more than the heat. But the lack of sunshine during winters up here in the north are killers.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you, Mary!

[@JoAnn-LXKY]

Love your show. Our lives parallel yours in so many ways. Keep up the positive and honest voice. Others need to hear how to go through the trials and joys of life with your attitude.

[@stevegiblin270]

I always admire teachers thanks 🙏🏽 for telling your stories!🤙

[@dlyn592]

Take a trip to Silver Glen Springs for a day trip. It is beautiful. Snorkel the springs or rent a canoe/kayak. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the view.

[@ericriddle3158]

OMG!!!!!!!! how could u not love and adore Gizzzmo!

[@Miguel195211]

Gizmo is such a cutie!

[@auroranite]

Jerry & Linda have brought so much happiness to their audience by this YT channel. I can always count on;laughter, good inside TV’s info, new sights and locations they visit, some personal sharing, and Gizmo😊 Viewing their content has been the Best Medicine during these dystopian last few years. Grateful, Thank you both.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

You are a peach, Aurora! Thank you! 😁😁😁

[@Chi-n7q]

OMG! I love you guys. I’ve moved from RI, to DelRay Beach 8 yeats ago now to Port St Lucie’s Valencia Walk. GL Homes. Unfortunately South Florida has become so congested and traffic is a nightmare. Hence the move North. The information you put out on living expenses was very helpful even though it was put out a year ago. Never looked into the Villages but after watching you 2 made me sorry I didn’t take a look into the Villages!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you! Maybe someday you can come for a lifestyle preview.

[@debbiethornton2067]

I love your vlog! And Gizmo! Keep up the great work! Remember, it’s a free country so people can watch your video ps or not. These negative people are just not happy people. Thank God for your great family, friends & neighbors in TV.

[@joannefoster9145]

Love this interview, been watching you guys for over three years now and we do appreciate all your work, keep having fun and carry on with living life that’s what you both have taught us! My husband and I laughed our socks off with your complaints honestly some people. Oh by the way loved your food shop 😁

[@theresatitus-lawson3431]

Wow! The negative remarks you two get are unbelievable. Some people do that to get attention, even if it's negative attention. I feel sorry for them because they are not happy with their life. You are doing a great job and I enjoy all your videos. You both are the kind of people that I expected to meet here in The Villages, friendly, intelligent and fun! Ruth Dyer said exactly what I feel. We love going along with you on your rides and the ride to Walmart was like taking a trip and going shopping with Friends! I love you guys! ❤❤ Excellent video!

[@MercyDByTheSea]

Love your channel. I have recently had some bad days and my husband knows what makes me smile. He says “Come on Babe, let’s watch Jerry and Linda’s channel!” Or he says “Let’s go move next door to Jerry and Linda!” ☺️ You guys are truly a Breathe of fresh air! 🌸

[@mynorthidaholife]

You two really are a breath of fresh air and your videos are very informative.

[@nightengale2123]

Jerry, I got a good laugh when you made your comment about thinking TV was like the community in the movie Cocoon. 😂 And I thought when I first heard of TV it was probably like Del Bocca Vista the Florida retirement community Jerry Seinfeld's sitcom parents lived in. 😁 If you were never a Seinfeld fan and saw those episodes of Jerry visiting his parents in Florida they are pretty funny and you can probably pull them up on KZbin. Very much enjoyed this video!!!

[@mykvalentin]

Jerry & Linda AND Gizmo, you guys are what more retirees ought to be doing. I really like you guys focus on the positives. Those negative comments are just hilarious. We always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

Thanks, Myk!

[@cindymcdonough4976]

Hi Jerry and Linda, I enjoy watching the two of you in your videos. You both seem like a genuinely nice couple and I enjoy hearing about the Villages. Now the funny thing is my husband Rob and I who live in Delaware right now are building a home in Latitude Margaritaville in Daytona Beach. It's fun hearing about your life there. I do agree that why would anyone take the time to be hateful but there are those out there who are not happy unless they are criticizing or mocking others. Ignore them. You guys are great.

Snowing? What's that? 😛

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

@@JERRYANDLINDA snowed all day Thursday and a bit this morning. Honestly, it’s been like this for about 8 years now, ie, snow common in April, into May and last year we had snow in early June one time. Can you understand why I want to move to Florida or more precisely, why I want to leave Duluth? No need to respond.

[@giannabella9183]

I have no interest in moving to The Villages just because I am a country girl and need room for all my animals. I watch your videos simply because it’s interesting to learn about other places. You both are very charismatic and entertaining in the presentation, so it’s simply fun to watch. Keep it up!

Hello. I discovered your KZbin videos the other day, and I really enjoy learning about The Villages and the two of you and Gizmo!

I ran across your channel some time ago (years?) and have loved it. Especially living in Minnesota where the ground is STILL white in mid April. Whether you are doing something or nothing you are folks I could be friends with, folks that I like, and it is like a soap opera (without all the drama) where you can't wait to see what happens next. It's not in the cards for us to move to The Villages so you are the next best thing. Thanks for all you do!
