    So cool to see you taking care of Gizmo during the show. Everybody does love Gizmo. We had a fur baby cat for 17 years and he passed in May 2021. Sharing your love for Gizmo is wonderful.

    I really can’t see why anyone at TV’s would want the maintenace of their own pool. With the many beautiful pools TV’s provide. LOVED the pics at end. Beautiful family, such blessings. My goodnes Linda you an twin are identical! Tks for bringing us along❤️

    I’ve begun digitizing my photos. It takes a while, but you get a trip down memory lane as you do it. Then I can use them as screensavers or display them on a rotating basis on a digital frame. The benefit is that I see them, instead of having them stuck away in a bin.

    When I did the lifestyle visit, I did it for $99.00 a night also for 7 days. After that visit I was hooked! I knew there was no other place I wanted to retire to but The Villages! My home is vinyl sided and it's no problem! I have termite protection and power wash it twice a year. Five years later, no hurricane damage so far. I'm a happy camper! 😀 Love your beautiful pictures! It was great seeing your Family! I love Lopez Legacy and have frequented there quite a lot. The other ones I've enjoyed are Arnold Palmer's and Cane Garden. On Long Island I Used a lady that had a business called "Critter Sitter" and when I made my yearly trips to Florida for a week she would come to my home and feed my cat twice a day, clean the litter pan, water my plants, feed my fish and take in my mail! Now that I'm in the Villages, my neighbor across the street from me who use to work for a vet will look after my cat if I take a trip for more than a couple of days. It's less stress on your pet if they don't have to change atmospheres, IMO. Thanks for another great Mailbag Monday! ❤

    We put in a pool at our last Home, 12,000 gallons. Our water bill only went up $20 to fill it in the year 2000 and it took one day. I was pleasantly surprised! Beautiful family photos, thank you for sharing! No storage in our 55+ community home either, and our kids didn't want all our photos, albums, framed pictures either, it's a real problem! Start Thinning out while your young, it'll make life easier! It was a nightmare for me to Purge a lifetime of our "Stuff" yikes!!

Nice family photos and that was an excellent question. Boy you two have aged well!!! Taking time to eat and enjoy your food is a great diet trip...you will never eat as much. Gizmo's assessment of dog care is spot on. Good show...thanks.

I lost my wife in 2008, we were married 44 yrs. when she passed away. I am 77 now and envy you both for your lifestyle now. I wish we could have retired to The Villages. God Bless, I hope you have many more years together in Florida.

    Great show today! I loved the trip down Memory Lane with your family photos. You have been truly blessed! I am single so it is a bit bittersweet, not ever having been married with my own family to make memories with, but I enjoyed it greatly all the same. It brings back to mind all the wonderful experiences I had with my family growing up. Really good questions this week also. Your show is so informative and very entertaining! I watch regularly even though I don’t plan on moving to The Villages.

Before selecting where to go, I've reviewed the menus. I am so impressed with the excellent options. Every place we went was wonderful and the prices are so reasonable.

    Here's to adding one more thing to the list of things we have in common...Your photography business...Paul used to do wedding photography for a couple of years, but it was like the proverbial "herding cats"! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family photos and we think that at least a few of them should have "Pride of Place" in your home somewhere.
    Yes, our realtor a year ago told us the cute farmhouse was part of the original land deal. She said back then that it would be renovated...taking a long time.
    Also yes, the Lifestyle visits cost different prices at different times of the year. Since we were coming all the way from California, they let us have a 2 week visit. And then a follow-up 2 week visit recently. The fellow in the villa next door to us was there on a month long visit!! Speaking of the villa next door, i found one of the 'painted rocks' in the landscaping! Did not take it, but left it for the next person to find and enjoy. We have them here in some of the neighborhoods. Loved that Gizmo got to be held during part of the video.
    We totally do the diet tip you gave!! Love you guys
