We had all our sterile ugly rocks removed from our front yard here in The Villages and replaced with garden soil, manure, and butterfly attracting plants. We now have a yard full of butterflies...crystalis hatching. And all living in harmony with the lizards and is gorgeous
Jerry, thanks for warning people with pets about the predators. It a serious thing. Coyotes can scale a 5-6 ft fence. Hawks will come in so fast, you won't even have time to react. Good warning.
I live in the villages VICARIOUSLY with you two !!
I am a 80 year old widow with medical issues, from southern Ohio. You two are such a delight for me to watch every week, keep up the good work!
I have become an authority on TV with my peers. Love you two ♥️♥️
Roberta, that makes us so happy! We appreciate you and hope you're with us for a loooong time! ❤❤❤
Great show always like watching them. 26 days, 7 hours, 36 minutes until I am retired. Then sell the house in Colorado and head to The Villages! Looking to buy in the Eastport area! (realtor's no need to reach out, we're already working with someone)
See you when you get here!
Thanks for another great show! Two weeks from today our dream of home ownership in The Villages will be a reality. Both of you have been a HUGE part of the overall process and for that we are very grateful. I know the word scramble (even with the extra spaces) 😂 Have a good week!
Congratulations, Mark and welcome!
Congratulations! Hope to be one of the lucky ones in a few years. Enjoy!
The villages is a hell hole it's an extraordinarily expensive place to live, golf carts constantly cut you off, with a bunch of old people that are trying to Penny pinch every damn dollar, and still expect you to treat them like you would your family I'm sorry but if you're giving me pennies on the dollar you get what you deserve don't come to the villages if you don't want to Shell out the cash if you're a penny pincher I promise you you're going to have trouble with your services as is RIGHT. WE DON'T LIVE FOR YOU
We saw “Stayin’ Alive” (a BeeGee’s tribute band) at the Savannah Center last week. 🎶 Sold out show.
… a lot of fun 👍🏻
And Rocky & the Rollers (a Villages favorite) played Sawgrass Grove this past weekend, and as you’d expect, so crowded.
Met a lot of nice people
… no snooty ones there ☝🏻😂
Always a great show
… keep up the good work 👊🏻
We heard it was great.
Best way to start Monday mornings, Jerry and Linda. Solved the word scramble despite those extra spaces. Guess it is challenging to try and stump the viewers with a new one each week. It is fun. Thanks for the restaurant reviews, too.
Oh no! Did I screw up again?
The belly dancers at the Strawberry Festival are so cute!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ 🍓
A Monday well spent with you two and a cup of coffee! Thanks! See you in April when we get there!
Sounds great!
Oh my gosh.... small round-a-bouts are terrible! I feel your pain! ~Lynette
Love you both. Live in Charlotte NC and I can’t stop watching your videos even though I never even considered living in the Villages until I started watching you both.
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Blinker fluid absolutely a major maintenance issue. If you don't do it you know what happens. Yep in drive the rear wheels start going forward. Thanks for the tip. 😂
😆😆😆😆😆
Morning Jerry and Linda. Listening as I dress to go out. Thanks in advance for a great show. I’m up to out and about and the belly dancers. Oh my. They look great. Have a great week and see you Thursday 🤗
I live in a gated community in the mountains of PA and I’ve heard that the people in our town often say that the people “at the lake with the stickers on their cars think they are better than everyone else because they live at the lake”. Houses here go anywhere from $80k to well over $1million and everyone is encouraged to come in and use our restaurants, golf courses, campground, etc, and there’s a house within most people’s budget, including rentals. It’s the people from town that feel we are snooty but we’re the same as them.
Interesting how that works!!!!
I think it is the same everywhere.
I'm in Bucks. This sounds very appealing to me. I want to get far far away from Philadelphia
I always look forward to your videos! Lots of great information as well as laughs!. I'm glad you include the bloopers!
Glad you like them!
Thank you both for another great video. Have a blessed week!
😊thank u! Happy Monday!
Love bloopers. We all need a good laugh on Monday morning!
Always a great show. Keep up the good work.
Great show again!
Another glorious Monday with another glorious Jerry & Linda!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Linda, I think you look great! I'm a stylist & love the bit darker color. Looks great with the pretty purple t-shirt. Honestly, my first thought before you mentioned the color was how pretty you look today.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@JERRYANDLINDAthe deeper color is richer and won't get as washed out as the lighter colors do. 😊
Enjoyed your show.
Middlebury indiana that's my old stopping grounds. Great show guys. Best to you!!😊
Thank you for a great show!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are so wonderful 👏💕thank you for always giving us a great show (it was a scary close call with that truck glad everything turned out ok) thanks for the movie recommendation
Love your hair Linda! 😊
The burgers looked delicious but oh… the key lime pie WOW if it tastes as good as it looks -yummy! lol
Have a wonderful week
Thanks so much, Lydia! ❤❤❤
always love the show, thank you!
Glad you enjoy it, Noreen!
Great show as always, keep up the great work.
Thanks, friend!
Thanks for another great video Jerry & Linda. I always look forward to your videos😘
Glad you like them!
Nailed it, Jerry. I think people forget that The Villages (TV) is still in the real world and there will still be normal things happening, like some snooty people, rude people, people who complain about everything, some crime, and all the other things that come with living among other people. And while sometimes "hell is other people," it's also really hard to be alone all the time. Community makes us stronger, even while being imperfect.
I think we also need to remember that Jerry and Linda don't have the average Villager experience. Not only are they both exceedingly nice and outgoing people, but they're also famous within TV. They may encounter both people who are friendlier towards them because someone they've never met has seen them here and may feel like they're already friends. They may encounter people who want their business featured on the show. They may also encounter people who avoid them as they walk around filming things and some people don't want to be filmed. Wherever they go, they bring different preconceived notions than I would if I were walking around TV. Strangers might be happy to say hello and meet me, but they won't bring with them that "I feel like we already know you," vibe that Jerry and Linda get when they go out.
Thank you!
Yes their is the REAL world out there we all encounter......No perfect world and think we can all attest to it.This is a SHOW which they do really well......
Exactly!

Thank you for another fun and informative show! You always make my day with how postive you both are, and your wonderful smiles. Even the difficult topics are easier to hear about when it comes from the two of you. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you so much, Connie!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Jerry and Linda 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Milan!
Love your hair Linda! And I agree with you about BlueFin… always great service and food!
Thanks for posting another great show, Jerry and Linda 🤩👏🏻 I enjoy laughing with your bloopers but I imagine that it must be somewhat aggravating to have to do those retakes 😳 Glad that you are having great weather‼️ Can’t wait for Spring to arrive and stay 🌸🌸🌸
Glad you enjoy it, Nancy!
I’m liking your weekly movie review. Ordinary Angels is a movie I’ve been wanting to see. For sure, I will now. I like “Angel” movies too.
We had a severe temperature drop last week too. Resulting in severe storms & tornadoes in our state, which is unheard of in February.
Camp Villages is something I definitely would be doing with my grandkids if I lived there. It sounds like so much fun. Given that TV is a retirement community, & probably full of grandchildren at any given time, sounds like they need to expand that program so more people can participate.
Thanks for another great Monday!
I am your newest subscriber‼️ Have been binge watching this evening. I am contemplating relocating to TV. I live approximately 35 miles North of Gainesville. I have visited TV in few times and had a blast. Thanks for your content. You both make it fun 🎉❤
Thank you, Deborah! See you when you get here!
@@JERRYANDLINDA Thank you kindly. I am 62 and single (staying that way...lol) and concerned about safety. Are there more safer areas in the TV than others? Can you recommend a location for starters?
We think it is all safe, knock on wood. If you want to be in the most convenient areas right now, you would move North of 44. The South is growing quickly and will be great in a few years.
@@JERRYANDLINDA Thank you so much 🤗
Another AWESOME Mailbag Monday episode😍😍We so look forward to starting our week out with you two sweethearts‼️
❤❤❤❤
Hi Jerry and Linda! Thank you for another interesting show. My husband and I went on a tour of Ireland last summer. It was absolutely beautiful!! We made it to the Blarney Castle but we didn’t go inside to kiss the Blarney Stone. We ran out of energy walking up to the castle😁. Our favorite area of Ireland was the Ring of Kerry. Enjoy your week🙋🏻♀️❤️
Thank you for the video! As always, a great show. I saw the Camp Villages special yesterday, and I'm really glad the Villages does that. It's a fantastic idea for the grandkids.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video! Regarding the viewer that wanted a removable fence for their 3 dogs, I believe there is a two-dog limit in The Villages. Loved the bloopers. Got the answer to the scramble. 😁
Yes, but it has become so common that we see it all the time.
Love your show keep up the good work
Much appreciated!
Thanks for another wonderful video, so sorry that I missed you at the strawberry festival, hope you both will have a awesome week
Thank you Debra, you too.
Linda, your hair looks great!
Thanks from Italy!❤
How nice! Grazie!❤❤❤❤❤
You all are the best.
❤❤❤❤❤
Great 🎉Show 😊
Bloopers remain my favorite part of the show, you two are so awesome. I HAVE GOT to go on a cruise w you all! Please plan one between December and April so I can go!
Your lucky day. planmytrip.world/group/JL2025
Great show and excellent content. Thank you. And I’m loving that purple shade, v-neck J&L shirt that Linda is wearing! (Jerry, your shirt is very nice too. 😉)
😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks! See you when I get there😀
Thank you Roger! That is really nice of you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
March 6th, Happy Birthday, Gizmo! 🎉
Great show once again. I love your shirts Jerry and your new hairstyle looks lovely Linda. It's usually not the blinker fluid that runs out, it's the loose nut on the seat that causes trouble.🤣😉😛🤪
LOL!!!! 😁😅🤣😅😁
Love the video love you guys
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Denice! You are such a giver. We really do appreciate it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The entertainment is such a big draw!! I would have Loved the strawberry festival
Audra and Amy are both invaluable assets. Thank you Jerry and Linda for allowing them to share with your viewers!
Glad you like them!
I've seen some of the most beautiful color butterflies here in Florida! More different colors than I've ever seen up north on Long Island. (Lavenders, yellows, pink, etc) Love the bloopers! That key lime pie looks soooo yummy! I think I solved the word scramble, but there are more spaces for the answer than letters. Uh Oh! ❤❤ Always fun visiting you two!
Sorry Teresa, I did it again.😩
Hi Theresa! I'm glad i wasn't the only one who saw extra spaces! See you tonight!🎶 I'll be teaching a little choreo bit.
@@roxiejacobsen2060 Hi Roxie! 🎼🎵Yes, see you tonight girlfriend. Looking forward to seeing the choreo!
I wonder how the extensive infrastructure of The Villages is going to be maintained long term? Because I cannot believe the Bonds, Real Estate Taxes, and HOA fees will ultimately be able to cover the cost of all the golf courses, squares, roads, ponds, water/sewer systems, and buildings that contain restaurants and shops etcetera.
Love this video & the tour of the Square Belly Dancers! So hilarious - you two are really getting famous! Seriously!! I'm just drooling over the" key lime pie" - only the Best in Florida. By the way, love you both, & I want to state I'm not the "Candy" who asked about rude people in the Villages. - those type of people are everywhere, no matter where you live! Have a wonderful week!!💕 ❣
It was gooooooood!
That Key Lime pie looks amazing. We got to go to Blue Finn. Last week we changed our plans and went to Chop House. What a disappointment that place was.
Or blinkers are an option!😂
Great show today. You guys are so funny love the bloopers.
We miss Gizmo! 😢
Well, I think the market is changing a bit. Two weeks on the market and no showings on my house. :( See you when we get there is going to take a little bit longer, evidently. We had that 75 degree day last Tuesday, and Wednesday morning it was 20. We knew it was coming so we REALLY enjoyed Tuesday!!! Good show again.
What a temperature drop! Good luck on your house selling.
Good morning!
Morning!
Our weather on the Front Range of Colorado often goes from snow and 25 degrees to sun and 50-60 in 24 hours, even in mid-winter. And the opposite is true too. But no matter the temp, it's 300 days/year of sun and blue skies. Low humidity compared to Wisconsin though, so it's rarely the bone-chilling cold you get in some other parts of the country.
We love Colorado. For some reason the air tastes good.
Golf is important. When you retire and play golf, you want to play more than you could while working. And time is also running out even though we don’t want to admit it. Don’t want to say “I wish I played more golf” when you can’t physically. That’s why you retired.
Yes! Very true.
Great show, as always. I cut my burgers in quarters like a little kid. 😂 Easier to eat tha way!
Good call!
So good to see you both each week. We are sometimes at the same places at different times. Just a question, since you like to fish, have you ever tried eating fish at a FISH restaurant? It seems almost sacrilegious to eat a burger at Bluefin, LOL! I thought i knew the word scramble but i guess i am easily confused. You have the sweetest viewers. We are so blessed to be a part of this community.🤗
Roxie, I screwed up the spaces. There should be 13. I almost always eat fish at bluefin, but recently I tried the hamburger and I was super impressed. If spoiler alert, they do not have pickles.🥒🥒🥒🥒
@@JERRYANDLINDANo Pickles?!🙄
@@JERRYANDLINDAI’m going to a Mexican restaurant but ordering American food because there is far too much sodium in all Mexican dishes. I rarely order burgers because I can barely eat half and they make lousy leftovers with their soggy buns.
I haven’t commented or watched for about a month.. I’ve been busy working and getting ready to
Come down to the villages for 6 weeks.. I think the people of the villages are so friendly, I’ve made so many friends just staying there for a minimal amount of time. This will be my third time coming down.. villages. The man from Wisconsin I hear you.. I’m from Wisconsin.. we had every season in a 24 hr time.. I haven’t met you yet so this is going to be my goal when I get down there.. 🥰 see you when I get there.. three weeks and counting..❄️🌴🌞
😁😁See you when you get here!😁😁
The condition of the golf courses and the lack of available tee times is a direct result of increase use due to the commercialization of residential properties and associated services & spaces for the purpose of commerce. Short term rentals aka AirBNB not only violate federal law when obtaining a HUD owner occupied mortgage to purchase these homes but also violate civil code in creating a commercial venture in a residentially zoned community. These short term rent seekers benefit greatly from the subsidized services and spaces paid for by actual law abiding residences. This theft will continue until you stop it.
I like the side board behind you. May I see it more clearly I will want to buy one like it😊
Wayfair!
Great video! Maybe we'll see you when we get there this week for our Lifestyle Preview. --Scott
Great show! Glad you didn’t get into an accident on the rotary. Does your movie theater have reclining seats?
Leesburg has a theater with reclining seats, but the villages does not.
Sometimes we can still get the puzzle if there are too many spaces or not enough letters, but not this time sadly! 😂 Can you send us the missing letters or fix the spaces? We love you guys anyway! We watch every Monday and Thursday… But this week we are delayed a day. ❤️
So sorry, I screwed up again. The first word has 7 letters the second word has 6.
And……..in April put your spring/sunmer air in your tires on vehicles, mower, and bikes.👍
😁😅🤣😅😁
Great show as usual Jerry and Linda!! I always enjoy watching and listening to your back and forth banter. You look like a very well suited couple!!
Quick question, do you have to be an American citizen to buy in TV? I am a British citizen and my husband is a Canadian, would there be any problems with that do you think?
I could really see myself living there full time, not to sure about my husband though.
Anyhoosie…….keep the videos coming, so fun and informative and I love ‘em!!!
Have. Wonderful week you two and God Bless you and yours 💕🙏🏻💕 I really enjoyed this one and can’t wait for the next one to come as well.
🦋 🦋 Tina 🦋 🦋
Tina, you do not have to be an American citizen. However there are limits to how long you can stay. We believe it is 6 months unless you apply for citizenship or work something out with the government.
Blinker fluid!😆😆
😆😆😆
I bet Scotty cries when his insurance goes up with those hurricanes.
Wait 6 weeks and most of the snowbirds will go back north. Golf times will improve and no lines to get in restaurants
Can you try the new “Bella Vita” in Spanish Springs for your next Out and About? I heard great things
Maybe not the next one come up but we will hopefully get there eventually.
I'll give you a trick on how to eat a burger. Turn it upside down, when eating, never falls apart! 😊
Even if it falls apart I vacuum it up.😆😆😆
Enjoyed the show once again. I think the word scramble might be a 'blooper' this week! Still working on that one. Thanks!
I know it, daggone it. There should be 13 spaces. 7 in the first word 6 in the second. So nice meeting you both, we had a nice time on Sunday.
Ok ... got it now. Sure helps knowing how many letters are in each word! Thanks!
The answer to the jumble can be found in John Candys final movie!
😁😁😁
Jerry may have been rejected for golf because the woods needed a break. Haha....
😆😅🤣😅😆
We avoided the parking issue by riding or e-Bikes to the Strawberry Festival.
We have thought about doing that, but are a little bit afraid of leaving the bikes where someone could swipe them.
@@JERRYANDLINDAWe each use 2 locks- a simple cable lock to secure the bike to the bike rack through the front tire (through the helmet first- they have walkie-talkies built in), then a heavy duty lock to the secure the expensive back wheel to the frame of the bike. There are people who will steal the back wheel to re-sell it.
I see so many eBikes here (our lanai faces Meggison Rd)
… I just had to order one 🚴🏽
It’s being delivered this week.
Can’t wait 👍🏻
*our e-Bikes
Great show. Are there enough letters to solve the puzzle? I count 13 letters and 15 spaces. Maybe I need my Monday coffee!
Elaine, I screwed up on the spaces... there should be 13.
Thank you!@@JERRYANDLINDA
Super. Is it 6 letters in the first word and 7 in the second? Breakdown? Gracias...@@JERRYANDLINDA
I don't know anything about TV (physically or historically). Figured the first word of the jumble, but either missing a couple letters... or too many spaces🤔
Will keep working on it.
I screwed up Margie, there should be 13 spaces. 7 in the first word 6 in the second.
Can you interview someone from the deed compliance office? I think it would be really interesting!
Interviews with employees here are very difficult to get.
@@JERRYANDLINDAthey can wear a ski mask and you can garble their voice (I hope that I am kidding)
I walk around The Villages and there are so many snobby people. I can't believe it! I took a job outside The Villages to get with more everyday folks. Whatever. The town squares have good food and that makes up for some of the pompousness.
Examples?
Love your videos. I am sure this has been asked before but will another hospital be built in TV anytime soon. One hospital for all those folks seems like it wouldn't be sufficient. We have friends who live in TV and he has a special heart pump and has to travel to Tampa for health care. This worries us. Does the current hospital in TV not have a heart unit? Thanks so much.
I read Orlando has one of the best hospitals in the country
Orlando is quite a ways from TV but thank you for your response @@caribcarib4337
We have heard from quite reliable sources that a new hospital is definitely in the works.
Thank you @@JERRYANDLINDA
not to be a party pooper here, but I think at least the garnish in your pie is not a key lime. they are really small (2.5 to 5 cm!).
I loves me a good Reuben Sandwich. What place in TV's has good Reubens?
Maybe Toojay's.
Got it, the puzzle that is. But too many spaces for the clue. Does this count as a blooper??😅
Yes. Shoulda been 7 and 6.
Scramble only has 13 letters for 15 spaces.
2 words, the first one 7 letters the second one 6.
Love your videos! For every half hour or 45 minute video, how long does it take to film it? (With bloopers included)?
About 45 minutes to an hour. The time consuming part is the pre show prep (3 - 4 hrs) and the editing afterward (6 -8 hrs.) Plus of course going out and interviewing folks and videoing clips. Pretty much a full time labor of love.
@@JERRYANDLINDA wow! You need an assistant for sure! But I’m glad you do it for us, we really enjoy it
That sure is dedication! In central Illinois, we appreciate your videos SO MUCH! They get us thru the cold months :). Hope to be able to meet you on our visit in May ( or one of the winters after that). Bless you both for the info you share and for the wonderful positivity!
See you when you get here!
Build more courses! Build more courses! Build more courses!
Preach it Gordie!
I'm gonna (mis)quote Raylan Givens, ". . . If you run into a snooty person in the morning, chances are they're just snooty. If you run into snooty people all day, chances are you're the snooty one."
😁😆😅🤣😅😆😁
It doesn't surprise me a bit that it was a pick-up truck driver that cut you off there in the round-a-bout. They are the worst, most aggressive drivers on the road.
👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍
