Good evening guys. I’ve been missing you and the RV travels. But now I see your living in the villages down in Fl. Well congratulations to you both I pray God blesses you beyond measure. We are so much in line with you guys as my wife prepares for her retirement from the college life. I’ve been looking for awhile now on our next adventure and we continually find Florida on our radar. Maybe when or if we can ever get down there we could find you guys and get a first hand tour. I’m so proud of all your dreams you have set forth because they are mine too. Team work makes the dream work. Pray for us and let’s see if God will bring our path together. Be blessed Glenn and Tonia Padrick from NC
Hi Glenn and Tonia! Thanks for taking the time to reach out. I just finished my morning devotion time and then read your awesome comments. Thank you so much for the prayers and congratulations. We are so happy and blessed to close out our RV chapter of life and begin this new chapter and adventure at TV. God is good! Prayers and best wishes as you and your wife get ready for retirement and make decisions about your next chapter of life and future adventures! Team work definitely makes the dream work! Keep focused on your main goals as you pursue your dreams! You should do a lifestyle visit and see if Florida and TV are right for you. God bless you both!
Thanks! It’s coming along slowly but surely. Will make sure to show and talk about our window treatments in an upcoming video. They are Top-Down/Bottom-Up cordless cellular (honeycomb) window shades. They make them in lots of different colors and light filtering options.
I just found you both on YT and have been binge-watching! 😄 You guys make me want to live in the villages NOW LOL. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more of your YT videos.
My wife & I went to Harvest at Brownwood for New Years Eve, and were disappointed. We’ve been there before and loved it (which is why we chose it for NYE), but … We also watched Hooligans for a while as well, and agree … it WAS the biggest crowd we’ve seen at any square. 🎊 As far as new activities (we’ve been here since October) my wife does Cardio Drumming, we’ve played Mexican Train (dominoes), cards, walk most every morning with a large walking group from the Newell postal station and (of course) played a lot of golf. My wife and I like the Jubilee putting course and I play regularly at (and love) the MickeyLee pitch & putt.
Brownwood was packed on NYE. Hooligans were awesome! Thanks for all the activity recommendations. We will definitely try out Cardio Drumming and the pitch and putts in 2024! Happy New Year!
Happy new year! New subscriber here! We also spent our holiday with our 25 y.o. only son in Florida (Naples) and this mom was so happy! Following your journey until our time to sell the south place to come up there! Enjoy it all and best of luck!
I really love your channel and your positivity and help in really getting a good feel of The Villages! My husband and I were there at the end of October, in Lake Sumter Landing, and fell in love with that area. With there being so much to see, your videos are so helpful. I believe we have scratched the surface of a scratch on the surface in this vast area! We called to set up our Lifestyle Visit for May, but they are not booking yet - but we have already connected with our Guest Coordinator and Relocation Coordinator! So exciting! Happy New Year and wishing you an amazing 2024 as Newbies of The Villages!!
Thanks! Glad you had a great visit. We totally agree about not even scratching the surface of all the things to see and do at TV. We are going to get out and explore and share as much as we can in 2024. Hopefully you will get to book your lifestyle visit soon. Please keep us updated. Happy New Year!
Glad to see a new video. I hope to move to TV in about another year. I'm looking forward to the active adult community. That is the big selling point for me. Looking forward to more videos from you guys.
Great Video! Of course you needed some time with the ones you love. RUclips is a wonderful way for us to connect with you two! Thanks for sharing your life!
Surka is the best we like Colony plaza because we just like to order off the menu and no show. We eat there once a week. Tables turnaround is quicker since it’s just booths. We never had to wait. Maybe join a travel club at the villages.
Happy New Year, no need to apologize for not being online all the time, you got to set priorities and enjoy the family and the villages, greetings from very cold Switzerland
So glad to see you both on RUclips again. I love your videos and you both make me smile or laugh outlook. Thank you and I will be looking forward to your videos. I live in Western New York or in the Finger Lakes region.
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying the videos. It’s so awesome that we can connect with people far away and make others laugh and smile. Happy New Year!
I love your videos and i absolutely love e your living room reclining power set. May I ask where you got it from, make and model and color? I would like to get it too. Love it
Hey guys, enjoyed the video. I'm used to watching Jerry and Linda so your videos will be a nice addition as well. Enjoy them both. You guys look like you're loving life down there while I'm up here in Michigan looking at snow!! Keep them coming!
Awesomeness! If we can do it anyone can. We are going to walk and not run this first 5K. Our goals are just to finish the 5K, have fun and hopefully not be last. 🤣 Say hello if you see us. Good luck and have fun!
Congratulations!!! There were so many people there yesterday. Sorry we missed you. We had so much fun and will be signing up for the next 2 running of the squares just as soon as they open up the registrations. We will probably do a team sign up for anyone interested in meeting up in the parking lot the morning of the event and walking together. Will let everyone know when we do. Thanks!
Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year! You have great videos and I love the tradition of eating in a favorite restaurant on Christmas Eve. Sounds like fun.
Happy New Year!! Love that you had a great visit w family and love your details about restaurants, etc! And so sweet that Tiffany pointed out that there is plenty to do for people that are alone… very thoughtful!!!😍
Glad you 2 had a great xmas & new years. Hope 2024 is another great year for you 2. Side note, it was really great meeting you 2 last week you were out walking, i hope i didn't bother you. i was the guy in the pickup who lives just up the road for you guys.
A video idea for you - of all the Villages-related videos that have been produced to date by the well known RUclips channels, not one of them has focused on churches. You could document your journey in finding the right church, film the exteriors (and the interiors, if permitted), possibly include a few interviews, show where each one is located on a Villages map, list the pros and cons of each one from your perspective, and give the reasons why you ultimately chose one over the others. There's even a church that you can attend in your golf cart.
Happy New Year! It's fun to see all of the things that you did during your very first Christmas in The Villages. I love the variety and the fact that you, your son and your parents had so much fun together going out and doing things. That's the way it should be! Your home decor is coming along very nicely, btw. You have quite a lot of seating in your living area which is awesome!
Thanks! Happy New Year! We had such a great time celebrating the holidays with family here at TV. We are making progress on the furniture and home decor.
I am so happy I found your channel!! Love you guys! My bf is buying a home there this month. We reconnected a year ago (we were high school sweethearts 45 years ago!) we met in St. Augustine last month and it went very well, so I may be joining him there soon.....if he ever pops the question ;) -Colleen & Steve
I think it’s really great that things worked out for the two of you to get a nice new home in the villages. I’m coming down the middle of May for a visit, so hopefully I’ll run into you maybe at Sawgrass.
Happy New Year!! Our tradition has always been to have Chinese food on Christmas. We Jewish and its what we do. We celebrated NYE at my sister's near Ft Worth, so we were in the wrong time zone. We celebrated at 11pm. Just signed up for your newsletter. See ya when we get there. 😊
So nice to see you enjoying your family for the Holidays!!!! Can't wait to see your adventures here. I live in CCC (Continental Country Club). It's off of 44 and surrounded by THE VILLAGES!!! We bought our 24/7 Gated retirement home here 5 Years ago. It is OLD Florida and we feel so at home. We have been in Lake/Sumter County for 27 Years. Mt. Dora area is where we sold our last home and moved to CCC. We are originally from Michigan and now enjoy going back for the Summer months. This area is EXPLODING and it's nice to enjoy the growth around us. Checked out our CCC Oaks Restaurant for some fine dining food. Blessings
Thank you so much! Happy New Year! We love Mt. Dora. Glad you found an awesome home at CCC. Will definitely check out the Oaks Restaurant. Thanks for the recommendation.
We do agree that family is first and holidays are important to you & your family. So no apologies needed!! We are so happy they all got to experience some of the holidays Villages style that is 😃
Happy New Year to both of you! Love The Villages attire. May just have to pick up some “swag” during our next visit. Also, nice furniture - you are making a beautiful home. Stay well!
No need to apologize for not sharing videos during your family’s visit. Family time is much more important. Glad you had a wonderful holiday season and I like your idea of Japanese on Christmas Eve 😁
We are far enough away from both the turnpike and county road 470 that we don’t have any real issues with road noise. Totally quiet inside our house. We will do a video on road noise in the future. Thanks!
Curious to know the wait time on your furniture orders has been. It seems as though you have managed to get some nice pieces in pretty quickly. Are you ordering from shops local to The Villages?
Thanks! A lot of local furniture stores say it will take 8 to 12 weeks (or longer) to deliver furniture. We are going to do a follow up home tour video in a few weeks and share what we bought, where we bought and how long it took to get it delivered.
Great to see you two back!!! No worries about being away, family is important and it was nice to see how they enjoyed themselves. Love your place it’s coming along nicely - this is the year of many good and great things I know I’m excited!!! Love the pullover it looks cozy and warm! How did Tiffany’s parents like TV, perhaps a future move for them as well?
Thanks so much! Happy New Year! The pullover is very cozy and perfect for the mild Florida winters. Tiffany’s parents had a great time on their visit. They live in a different 55+ community in south Florida that they really enjoy. But I could see them moving to TV someday.
Happy New Year, I see you did get furniture, glad to see your son was able to visit and Tiffany's parents for the holidays. What did they think about The Villages? See you on the next video
Thanks! Happy New Year! Tiffany’s parents and our son loved TV. It’s been fun furniture shopping. Slowly but surely we are making it feel like home. It was great to have our family here to celebrate our first Christmas at TV.
Thank you for your videos you two are doing an excellent job! We like to go out and celebrate NYE. Does the Villages have any celebrations at midnight, or is everything closed up by then?
Happy New Year! We took the last 2 weeks off to spend time with family. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Thanks! Michael & Tiffany

Happy New Year!
I’d love to see how you decorated your home! Furnishings etc. when will you have a home tour? Did I miss it?
Just posted today! Here is the direct link. Thanks! ruclips.net/video/piP8p1_WP8s/видео.html
Yes, please show us your research on finding a new church. I don’t believe any other channel touches on this topic. Haaapy New Year!
Thanks! Will do. Happy New Year!
Might need a cooking video showing those famous potatoes ❤
Thanks! I have been trying to talk Tiffany in to doing a cooking video or two. Happy New Year!
I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. If not on here, then on tiktok.
Nice seeing what you've done in your Emerald. What are those window blinds. I like how low profile they appear.
Thanks! It’s coming along slowly but surely. Will make sure to show and talk about our window treatments in an upcoming video. They are Top-Down/Bottom-Up cordless cellular (honeycomb) window shades. They make them in lots of different colors and light filtering options.
So happy to see people happy.
Thanks! Us too! 😃 Happy New Year!
I just found you both on YT and have been binge-watching! 😄 You guys make me want to live in the villages NOW LOL. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more of your YT videos.

No need to apologize for not sharing videos during your family’s visit. Family time is much more important. Glad you had a wonderful holiday season and I like your idea of Japanese on Christmas Eve 😁

Hello a quick question do you guys have road noise at your new home? Ps love your videos. We’re going on a lifestyle visit in February.
We are far enough away from both the turnpike and county road 470 that we don’t have any real issues with road noise. Totally quiet inside our house. We will do a video on road noise in the future. Thanks!
Yes Sakura is really good. The one in Sumter VKI Japanese is yuck no flavor and horrible service! Glad you got time with family. Happy 2024.
Thanks! Happy New Year! We will definitely go back to Sakura.
Love your sweatshirt. Could you share where you purchased it? Thanks! Welcome back!

Looking for your first month cost. When do you think that will come out. Thx
We are working on that video now. Goal is to get it out by the end of this week or next week at the very latest. Thanks!
Did you have a walk through that I missed after the furniture was delivered?
No not yet. Still not fully furnished and decorated. Hope to do a full tour in the next few weeks. Thanks!
Thank you for your videos you two are doing an excellent job! We like to go out and celebrate NYE. Does the Villages have any celebrations at midnight, or is everything closed up by then?
Thanks! Will have to check and do a follow up video. Happy New Year!
