Moving Into The Villages, FL

After an over-night stay in Georgia, we arrived on Monday, 5/3, in Florida and saw our new home for the first time. It was just as beautiful as the pictures we had seen as it was being built - see our other blog at friedsnewhome.blogspot.com. It is located in the Village of Hemingway in The Villages, FL.

On Tuesday, the movers showed up and the real 'fun' began. Picture this...Susan is in the garage checking off each box and piece of furniture being moved into the house, I am inside the house showing the movers where to put everything. Then the guy shows up to install the washer and dryer. A few minutes later, another guy shows up to install our phone and Internet. Then the DirecTV guy shows up to install the TV dish. Then, our good friends Ken & Joanne show up (they are the ones who made us fall in love with this place) to welcome us to The Villages. Talk about multitasking!!! Then, before we knew it, everyone was gone and we had a house full of boxes everywhere - but our TV worked. ;-) We headed back to the RV for a well-deserved long night's sleep.

The Villages is a great community! The recent CBS video about the 90 miles of golf cart paths which highlights the golf cart lifestyle is must see. You can move to The Villages and never have to worry about driving your car again! What a great way to save money on gas! Just use your trusty golf cart for everything. No need to worry about the high cost of gas!!
It's truly an amazing place to live or visit.
