			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the BIG game coming up this weekend against Georgia  I thought I should blog about the new club that is being formed in The Villages.<a href="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/RB-Gator.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-48" title="Gator Fan" src="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/RB-Gator.jpg" alt="" width="314" height="235" /></a></p>
<p>The Villages <span style="color: #ff6600;">GATOR </span>CLUB!  GO GATORS!</p>
<p>At last a club for all us Gator fans.  A large room in The SeaBreeze Recreation center is reserved the 1st Thursday of each month starting NOVEMBER 4 at 6:00 P.M.   The first meeting will be used for getting acquainted and bringing everybody up to date on what has happened.  Be sure to tell all your Gator friends about this exciting event.</p>
<p>We need to discuss any ideas you might have for the purpose of the club, such as getting together to watch the games, gator parties for special (or any) occasions,  golf tournaments, a get together cookout, a yearly SEC get together (inviting all other SEC schools) or any other ideas you might have.  For this to work we MUST have input and participation.  Your involvement will be what makes this club successful.</p>
<p>Please feel free to email me or comment on this blog about the GATOR CLUB!</p>
<p>I hope to meet all you Gator fans soon!  Unfortunately for me I will not be at the first meeting as we are moving in to our home in The Village of Duval the next day from&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; you guest it, Georgia.  Oh how we are looking forward to being in Florida!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to update the blog as I have not been writing any for a long time.  We sold our <a href="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/moving-truck.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-36" title="moving truck" src="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/moving-truck.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="176" /></a><img src="file:///C:/Users/Home/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" />home in the Village of Summerhill.</p>
<p>We also bought a different house in The Village of Duval!!</p>
<p>THE BIG NEWS is WE ARE MOVING ON NOVEMBER 5TH TO BE FULL TIME RESIDENTS!!</p>
<p>This is very exciting for Ginny and myself as we thought we it would be 2014 or 2015 before this would be the case.  After our 1 1/2 years of visiting we could no longer take it.  Had to be in The Villages full time.</p>
<p>We look forward to making more friends and hopefully posting on this blog information that you can use and is helpful to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sure I am not the only babyboomer that thinks that The Villages is the best thing that has happened to those of us over 55!  Before I made the trip down from Atanta to visit my friend I had NO IDEA!  After my first visit I thought on my 6 hour ride back home, am I having a dream or was this real!  <a href="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ginny-and-Randy-3448.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12" title="Ginny and Randy 3448" src="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ginny-and-Randy-3448-300x286.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>It is very real for sure.  I came back a 2nd time for a long weekend and thought yes this place really is as close as you can get to heaven here on earth.  My only complaint was why did I not find out sooner.  I, like most of us Villagers, saw the Nancy Lopez and Arnold Palmer TV ads.  Live like a millionaire, free golf and all that.  I just figured it was some retirement place with one or two golf courses.  Boy, was I out in left field somewhere in the dark!</p>
<p>It was not really the time for us to buy but we kept looking on the internet every once in a while just to see what was happening here in the housing market.  I ran across a house I thought would make a great part time home for us while we were still in Atlanta too.  I figured it would be 5 years before we would get here full time if at all.  So, bought the house!</p>
<p>I hope you will comment on how soon you bought or what happened on your first or second visit her to our hometown.</p>
<p>I look forward to writing in this blog and seeing the comments for all the rest of you about The Villages.</p>
