Well, we've been here three weeks now and we're still unpacking. On the bright side, we actually have a few rooms without any boxes in them but there are still lots of pictures to hang and things to, oh how shall I say it, adjust. Our new living room furniture is on order and we are finally beginning to enjoy life without having to unpack something every waking minute. We are now getting out of the house more and getting involved in the many activities around here. We have met (and continue to meet) our wonderful neighbors. We are going to love it here in The Villages.
Shortly after moving in, we picked up our new car, or should I say golf car. We ordered it on the Internet prior to moving and even selected the color and fabric pattern there. It is a
2010 Yamaha gas golf car (not 'cart' as it has turn signals, lights and other options that makes it a 'car'). It even has our names printed on the front fenders and a built-in 'beverage container'. We use it for most of our transportation needs within The Villages including going grocery shopping - it has a large bag that will hold a shopping cart's worth of groceries. If it rains or gets cold, we simply unfold the sides and lower the protective back and travel in comfort. One of our first long trips in it was to go to the Villages Polo Grounds where we enjoyed a picnic lunch and beverage of choice while watching a polo match from beneath a shady live oak. What a cool way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Life is good!

Hi John and Susan,
It's great hearing about your new home. Of course we wish you were still close by, but we also wish you the best of life in Florida.
