Who Runs The Villages? Premier Homes Are Back!

[@richsoper1779]

What a great show again. Jerry I give you so much credit for the film editing and filming. A Friend and I do a podcast and the hobby has turned into a job. I hope everyone appreciates the effort dedicated to this show. I still think a Thursday show of you and Linda showing post production would be amazing. Thank you again and to the gentleman who doesn’t like your show, I don’t think he’s a happy guy anyway.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Rich!

[@karenanderson6495]

Always look forward to starting the week with you three! Glad you weren't impacted by the storm!

[@MonicaFlorida]

Me, too. It’s always, “Yay, it’s Monday!”

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Us too! Thanks!

[@mikeo.750]

Very entertaining! Loved Linda's rendition of SOB. What a hoot.....LOL

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😁😁😁😁😁

[@BA-xj9ew]

With Linda and Gizmo being the talent, I'm so happy that they have not gone out on strike. Awesome show as always.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We agree!

[@rosemariestef7538]

Enjoyed show, thanks...not Creepy at all!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜

[@chrispalmer6781]

I'm one of the artists that will be at the "Art Buddies Boutique Show" on Sept. 9th 9-3p.m. at Colony! I'll be in the center selling mostly my domino & mahjong jewelry! New this year is my domino and mahjong earrings. Come early, they will sell out fast!! Stop by and say hello and help support my other 24 art buddies! Love your channel!

[@tlisa3458]

I noticed a Precious Moments figurine behind you at the place where you volunteer. I live in the town where they originated! The company is still producing!

[@robertdockery3378]

If you only got 2 small St. Louis ribs, you got jerked. Being it was Sonny's, that's not too surprising. Baby back ribs don't even have enough meat to enjoy it while you eat. St. Louis has more meat on the bone than Baby back. Try a different BBQ restaurant that's not Sonny's and I can assure you that you won't be disappointed especially if you order a full rack.

[@vernonaskey9871]

Yes, Dionne Warwick had the Burt Bacharach song out “Walk on by”. That’s a good music trivia question 😅.

[@josea5949]

As far as the question regarding a Mayor. It seems that every village, neighborhood, street, villa and varanda section etc has "self appointed" Mayors 😊

[@d.l.n.7133]

We have a Harry & The Natives near us in Jup . It’s such a fun place and the food is delicious 😋

[@gigip4417]

Hey Beck, I agree with the Newcomers…. If you have a problem with the show, scroll on by!

[@marksmith4582]

Happy Labor Day Jerry and Linda! That was a super informative video today. Thank you Gizmo! Always appreciate his jokes! I’m grateful you all missed the majority of the hurricane! Always special videos each week that I look forward to! Have a great week ahead! Mark in Iowa.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Glad you enjoyed it Mark!

[@gadfly2322]

Love your show! Booked our lifestyle stay last week (because of you two!😉). The earliest we could get was Thanksgiving week. And we're looking forward to it. On one of your mailbag Mondays, could you cover the following: Any suggestions on where to go on/ what might be happening onThanksgiving in TV? It seems like it's too early to book anything (activities included). Any advice about what, when, where is greatly appreciated! Thanks again, you two. Hope to see you around. Betsy in Virginia

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

That is a great time to come. The weather should be perfect. As far as what is open, we don't remember. If there will be entertainment at all of the squares and the restaurants should be open.

[@beckyhowes]

Walk on By by Burt Bacharach!

[@sn-vr9yh]

Bye Bye, Beck! Not creepy at all! I'm not quite old enough to live in the Villages, but I really enjoy watching your show! You guys are so fun!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks for watching!

[@michelevalentine2151]

After staying three separate times at the Waterfront Hotel to check out The Villages, we have just scheduled our “lifestyle visit” for an entire week in November for my husband’s 60th birthday! They asked us who referred us and we said Jerry & Linda! Thank you for your hard work putting out these great informative videos! We are big fans! We can’t wait to eventually see you when we get there (for good!)

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Michele! See you when you get here!

[@mickeymouse4535]

We are on our lifestyle visit this week. We're having a great time driving around in our golf cart. We have gone to the squares to listen to music . Definitely will be moving here in the next few years. Narrowed it down to 3 house designs we can choose from. Our real estate agent is wonderful, very helpful, and made our stay even better.

[@VirginiaJohnson-t1v]

Hi. I am coming in for a lifestyle stay in October. Other than “entertainment”, what are the three things I should see/do please. Thanks for all you both do!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Get in that golf cart and go, go, go!

[@suzyq8236]

Do I mind if I ask if both of u retired and from what? Also, do u have a video of your home you purchased? Which area in the villages did u purchase from? Love u guys

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We were both public school teachers and have shown our house many times throughout the last 5 years.

[@marywilson1948]

Hey. Where do ghosts shop? At a BOO TIQUE!!😂😂😂

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

🤣🤣🤣

[@debrabyrd1306]

Do you know if we can put solar flowers around the yard, I just bought a new house in Lake Denham

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

You can put anything you like. If a neighbor turns you in however the deed compliance office will insist that you remove them.

[@kathywendt7861]

Creepy?? Not seeing it. To each, their own... So, utilize delete, scroll, or unsubscribe. Life's full of bummers, why watch something you don't enjoy?? 🤷. I happen to LOVE this channel...I'm certainly not alone with there being THOUSANDS of other subscribers!! Perhaps "Mr. Salty" should found/join the wet blanket club... Jerry, Linda and Gizmo, you are a breath of fresh air. You are very uplifting, hard to find that these days! Prayers for storm victims... ❤️🙏

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thank you Kathy, you are so nice! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathywendt7861]

Thank you for the compliment!! A blessed day to you all!

[@carolapostolos8929]

Don Wiley is definitely a wealth of knowledge. I enjoy his Villages channel tremendously. Thank you Don!

[@debbiec6216]

I was wondering how you all were doing in the Villagers and other cities. Keeping my eye on you all !!! "Worrywart Debbie" !! We are only 2 miles to the Highways. The hospital and Doctors office 2 blocks away ,very close. We have 2 - 3 Urgent cares in each cities. In this entire region we have 4 other hospitals 20 minutes in different directions. Grocery stores are only 3 - 4 miles ( 10 minutes ), All the other activities are 5 minutes away. Bike / Walking trails at the end of each neighborhoods, easy access, they continue building more each year.

[@joankeeler6163]

Great mailbag Monday see you on Thursday ❤❤❤

[@Debber0401]

Hope you have a great LaborDay guys!! Googled the pronunciation and here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6eqm3SagsagoNUsi=vXDVq-AkEpBIWd0j and Dionne Warwick’s song was Walk On By.

[@tvjake3202]

We love having two golf carts, not only can we travel independently when needed, we have an extra for family and friends when needed.

[@kerilotta5421]

Happy to see Gizmo is looking so much better. ❤

[@richardmerrill4036]

Are the gates electric powered? That is a good reason to remove them b4 the storm.

[@melB2392]

Linda🤗😂🩷

[@margenek]

I laughed so hard at your SOB comment…….wonderful

[@Lovepinkgc]

Linda …you are funny…SOB…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗❤️. Jerry ur funny too 😂

[@garyxyz4400]

Good day Jerry and Linda, I really enjoy watching your videos on a regular basis. I have thought about making Florida on my list of places to retire. However we believe it's too hot in the summer months. Also the cost of living is quite expensive in the United States. So we are considering other countries. Thank you for sharing.

[@joanyoder5880]

You are blushing with your SOB, Linda

[@eclecticdeb4394]

Just a suggestion on the organ, if you’re willing to use an electronic piano, you could use headphones instead of an external speaker. That’s what we did for our mom when she moved in to senior housing, and that worked well for her.

[@conniemoore3051]

Hi Jerry & Linda, I love your show and really like the new segment "Out & About." In general the portions seems small, do you find that to be the case with all restaurants in TV? That guy is so wrong, you're not creepy, you two are the most positive, real, and fun people that I watch and would love to meet. You feel like family! Blessings to you both & Gizmo!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Connie, when people say we feel like family we take that as the utmost compliment. We feel the same way. As far as the food portions, we would say no… we often buy a meal and split it, and both of us come away feeling full.

[@DisneyLover-rx2zn]

How about a nice game of HORSE, instead? 🤣🐴🏀

[@ErikStPierre1]

Excellent show as always Jerry & Linda, glad I didn't "Scroll On By" (haha), thanks for the shout out! I'm driving my car down on Thursday from Maine to the villages, maybe I'll get to listen to your live broadcast.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Drive safely!

[@janetpartyka5968]

Beck, I think you might be in the sauce just a little too much, your comment doesn't make any sense.

[@chimesplayer]

Love your show. Let’s all put the victims of the recent hurricane in our thoughts and prayers. 🙏

[@NeedtoSpeak]

As an organist I can tell you that headphones will be essential. Mid to large home organs will not only carry the sound, but cause vibrations as well. Your neighbors will hate you unless you headphone.

[@Mushkiepotamus]

Fenney Regional Rec Center doesn’t have basketball but we have a fire pit and resort pool with food and bar service to make up for it!!!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We got that answer directly from TV! You see, getting accurate answers is very difficult.

[@edfeger4214]

Hacienda rec center is regional and has no basketball basketball courts

[@edfeger4214]

Happy Monday and happy Labor Day Jerry, Linda and Gizmo. So glad the storm was uneventful for you. Did see your updates on Facebook. Prayers to the ones affected. As you say, always better to be prepared. Karaoke 🎤 always fun. Go go go is best. Mobility is everything. My husband and I pretty do and go everywhere together so we have 1 car. Once in Florida; I think we’ll maintain 1 car and 1 golf cart. Wow. Didn’t know the villages spanned 3 counties and 4 cities. That is huge. Thorough answer from Don. Thanks for his time. Omg. I thought the $32.07 was for all of you then realized just you 2. Love the sweet. Don’t get the salty 🤷🏻‍♀️. Uh oh. SOB. Nice and simple Linda 😂. Love than pan. Prefer a v neck tee so like Linda’s tee. Hey Gizmo. The salad 🥗 dressing 😂. Pizza 🍕 jokes too cheesey 😂. Well done Gizmo. Great show guys. Enjoy your Labor Day and week and see you Thursday 🤗

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, friend! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@theresatitus-lawson3431]

Awesome video as always! Thank you for adding the "Out and About" segment. It's always nice to find out about the different venues in and nearThe Villages. I think it might be a little difficult solving the new jumble, since the amount of letters and spaces for the answer are different amounts. That's okay Jerry we know you were probably tired. I just got my "Jerry and Linda" T-shirt from Custom Apparel a week ago! Love to The Giz and Happy Labor Day! ❤❤❤

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Daggone it, I did it again. There should be 3 spaces then 2 then 5. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

It’s easy to make one room sound proof to play your instrument.

[@pizzaearthpancakesandother2549]

Jerry and Linda always have a busy schedule. Aside from mailbag Monday, they need to prepare for a taco Tuesday, wacky Wednesday, thirsty Thursday, freaky Friday, Caturday and Sunday funday. They have no time to relax!

Eating IS relaxing!😁😁😁

Been watching your show for a long time. I have never heard you talk about pickleball at the Villages. The Villages are the biggest place for pickleball and players from the Villages have spread pickleball all over the Country. Have you ever played it?

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, and we mention it on occasion. It is super popular here.

The Dionne Warwick song Jerry was thinking about is called, "Walk on By" with Burt Bacharach. I only know this because the song was recently sampled by Doja Cat (a rapper/pop star).

[@debbiec6216]

Our Town is a Village and we have a mayor . In this town, isn't not real strict , maybe our HOA might complaint, but that's not a lot . We don't have noise going on much around here, pretty quiet. If the nieghors invite their families for a pool party , that's fine, but they are sorta quiet too. We used to have an issue with couple of neighbors and mostly my spouse would complain , but now he's best friends with the ones, he used to complain at . I like my neighbors, they are finally finishing up building the subdivision, only took them 20 years. They stopped building back in 2008 because of the economy and it picked back up in 2014. These homes here, became double ++ in the last 2 years. These new homes now cost $400,000 - $550,000 since 2021.
