The two cuties from Long Island NY (at the beginning of the vid) did not need to say where they were from! The adorable accents precede them. LOL Love it!
Thanks Jerry and Linda. This was great seeing how much all these nice people love it in The Villages. Hope to meet you when we come up for our Lifestyle visit.
I'm not surprised how many people came to your meet and greet. Everyone can see how much thought and effort you put into your videos.Great information, as well as being fun, especially Gizmo's segment, and most recently the bloopers. You are absolutely wonderful and everyone loves you both!
Jerry and Linda: Thank you for yet another great video. The two of you are so warm and welcoming that I feel like we are old friends. My boyfriend and I are coming down from Michigan to do a lifestyle visit June 28 - July 5th. We hope we run into you. We would love to buy you dinner as a thank you for all of your wonderful, helpful videos. All our love to your amazing fur baby Gizmo!
Jerry and Linda--what a great endorsement you are for the Villages! So many people love you and your channel. You must be so happy and just look at all the new friends you are making! Thanks so much--I love watching! God Bless!
My gosh, that was so fun. Thank you for hosting that get together and for introducing all these awesome folks! What a great turn out! Maybe we'll be at the next one..:)
I'm so disappointed that we made our lifestyle visit last week of April and missed this! But we are back in MO and working our butts off trying to downsize and get this house sold so we can join everyone in the Friendliest Town in the world!!!!
I have a friend who moved to the Villages, so I started watching you to see what life is like there. I keep watching because you are two of the sweetest and happiest people ever! Every episode is a joy. I won’t be moving there since I couldn’t bear to leave family and friends, but I’ll keep watching!! Shout out to fellow Lancaster, Pennsylvanians!! 😃👍💕
Hello Diane, We lived in Lancaster most of our lives and just moved to the Villages less than a month ago. We came out to meet Jerry and Linda and were so happy to share some of our story as well (Second to last interviewees). We are still working but just being here makes us feel like we are permanently on vacation. We love it here and can't imagine ever getting bored.
It was so uplifting to see all these happy couples who have made an exciting move in their retirement years, so many of them because of you, Jerry and Linda. I enjoyed hearing where they came from and why they moved.
What a wonderful group of friends - you have positively influenced so many to experience and enjoy the Villages - thank you - cake sounds scrumptious….. mmmm!
I wasn't able to make it to the get together, but I thought I'd share my story. During COVID I was working from home and approached my employer about possibly moving down here. I wanted a place for my parents to winter down here. I have a sister in Orlando, so I wanted somewhere close but not IN Orlando (crazy traffic). My employer allowed me to continue working down here. I watched all of Jerry & Linda's videos and knew The Villages was the place for us. I bought a home in Citrus Grove in October 2021. My parents will spend their first winter here this year. We couldn't be happier.
Paoli Indiana here! Seeing everybody so happy makes me want to move sooner!! Originally from Chicago and moved to Paoli in 2020. But I’m coming to The Villages ASAP
Just Wonderful listening to everyone's story About their journey to TV, Such Nice Folks And Jerry And Linda You Have Helped So many People without realizing how effective you have Both been with your video's, You Truly Have made a difference in People's Lives, Glad you Both had a great night meeting everyone there👍
Jerry, Linda and Gizmo, Thanks for another great video!! I totally forget how I ever found you guys but fast forward about 3 or 4 years and here I am. I’m 48 years old now and have quite a bit before I can consider a move there but wanted you to know how much I look forward to all your videos. GREAT JOB!! Thanks so much for all the laughs and for all the effort you put into your community in the Villages and your community here on RUclips. Best, ~John “Future Village Resident”
Sorry we missed you. As I sit here in Illinois, I am 6 hours, 10 minutes away from retirement. Will be back in The Village of St. Catherine tomorrow. First order of business, figure out what to do with my time other than obviously watch Jerry & Linda twice a week. Hmm, might try this thing where they put a pickle in a ball - why just a pickle and not the whole cheeseburger? Oh, and someone suggested I go on a dragon boat - don't they have big teeth, breath fire and eat people? I'll figure it out.
Jill & Brian...we're from York, PA but I'm currently sitting in Lancaster Co. at our campsite watching this video. We bought a home in TV last September but have 4 yrs until Retirement. Thanks for sharing this, Jerry & Linda! Loved hearing from everyone!!
A wonderful video. In your wildest dreams did you ever expect to become social media "influencers" ? Because it is obvious that you, Jerry, Linda and Gizmo, are the Kardashians of the villages !! P.S. Linda, how about sharing the recipe for that pineapple glazed cake ?
Oh no, if I keep watching your videos every Monday and Thursday looks like I will end up in the Villages even though we think we have our forever home in Corpus Christi, TX.
Jerry and Linda, what a great idea to host the get-together and then video the good folks’ thoughts about TV. You have made so many friends through these videos. The information you ‘guys’ provided helped my wife and I decide to buy a home in the TV (we are snowbirds). Thank you!!
Sorry we missed the meet and greet. We start our lifestyle visit on Tuesday. Praying we find a house. Could you two make them lower the price tags! Lol see you when we get there! 💕
Couldn't make it to this meet and greet. I was a little under the weather. Hope you have another one and I can make it then. This was really a wonderful idea! You two are the best!! 🧡
What fantastic show. I am looking forward to retirement sooner than later. Life is short. So make the most of that time. Always nice to see your videos and look forward to the next one.
Another wonderful video! So many nice people. Wish we could have participated but we are snowbirds by choice and live in CT part of the year. Although you are not the reason we moved to TV you sure have enriched our lives with your information, style, class and above all kindness that you've shared through RUclips and Facebook. Maybe someday we can thank you in person 💕
Wow! If that doesn't make you want to move to the villages, nothing will. Thanks soon much for that video. I do look forward to seeing you when I get there
You guys are great! Thank you for all the wonderful information, it's been a big help as we prepare for our new home. Sad we missed this meet and greet but we will make the next one! We will be moving to TV in August from From Texas. PS, say hi to Gizmo for us, he makes us smile! Former Dachshund owners, Mario & Julie :)
Hey Jerry, Linda and Gizmo. This meet and greet was nice. Love how happy and free folks were to give a snippet of their story. You kept a lot of us going through COVID. Some purchased during COVID. The one lady said it’s like being in a video game and another couple said it’s like being on vacation the rest of their lives. The gentleman that said he came in for a piece of cake and ended up speaking. Everyone transparent. And you bake too Linda? You seem to be a wonderful cook. Thanks for sharing this and see you next video. Have an amazing weekend.
Great video!! As always so great to see what you guys come up with. So neat to hear everyone's stories! One of those couples who are visiting live like 20 minutes from me who were from NY! haha.... small world. Have a great weekend!!
Now, that’s a lot of newbies! The Villages should give you a commission for finding all these buyers for them! Sorry I was not at your meet & greet - I would love to meet you guys even though I’m not a Villager.
I wish I could have come to your meet and greet. Maybe I’ll run into you both in one of the restaurants in the Villages or the thrift shop you volunteer in. Love your videos ❤️
I’ll second the last comment about being on the free marketing payroll for the village’s they couldn’t ask for a better couple to promote the large ranch in Florida Love you guys!
Was this event an open invitation via Facebook ?? If it was I would not have seen it as I don't participate in FB. Anyway, glad all who attended had a great time. 😁 Although we are very short timers in TV coming up on our 1 month anniversary, we are very much enjoying life inside and outside the bubble. So much to enjoy and discover. Have a great weekend.
It was. We lightly advertised it due to the size restrictions of the rooms at the rooms at the rec center. Even so, we were at capacity. It was a great evening and hopefully we will do it again sometime.
Such a great video Jerry and Linda. You have brought so much joy to so many people 💓. I know that Gizmo has played a part in winning over a few hearts 💕 too. It's great to see so many smiling faces . BTW, what exactly is a Lifestyle Visit??
Thank you Cheryl. That is so kind of you. Here is the description of a lifestyle stay that we send out when people email us. You may want to consider a lifestyle stay. You can spend 4 to 7 nights in a Courtyard villa. They are nicely appointed with golf cart, bicycles, and you'll get movie tickets, show passes, and entrance to all the amenities such as the golf driving range, clubs etc. It's a really good way to find out what The Villages is all about. Just contact a Villages sales center for information. It's more during the Winter, and cheaper from May to December. They vary in price... during the off season they are about $99 per night.
Great video! Have you considered a video about 4 seater golf carts vs 2 seater and the pros and cons? Somewhat like the gas vs electric golf cart video you did. Thanks.
That's a pretty good idea. We actually know people with rear facing backseats and some people with front facing back seats. A comparison between the 3 different types might be good.
The two cuties from Long Island NY (at the beginning of the vid)
did not need to say where they were from! The adorable accents precede them. LOL Love it!
You are beloved. It was so nice to hear from all of those that truly appreciate what you do for all of us. It must have made you feel good
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your two should be on the Chamber of Commerce payroll. Amazing how many people moved to the Villages because of your videos and information.
Are they reeeally from Lawng Island New Yawk...so hard to believe, LOL!!! 😅🤣
The Yuengling's!!!! Love their beer
And cake also?
WOW
Thanks Jerry and Linda. This was great seeing how much all these nice people love it in The Villages. Hope to meet you when we come up for our Lifestyle visit.
A million hearts!!! How impactful you have been to so many lives. Thank you for the knowledge, joy and positivity you put into all your videos.
Jerry and Linda, "A NATIONAL TREASURE".... : )
Awww... thank you so much, James. 🙂🙂🙂
Cannot wait to see you when we get there……
Yessir! 😁😁😁😁

After watching your videos for a year, I made arrangements for a lifestyle visit last week. Came home and put my house on the market. See you soon!
Many nice neighbors!

Good morning Jerry & Linda. A wonderful video today. Loved hearing about everyone’s journey to The Villages. Have a blessed day❤️
Good job!!! People from all over the United States.
Such fun to see some of the people who have come to the Villages. We love it here!
2nd generation Villager. My parents moved here in 1988 to Country Club Hills. We moved here a year ago May 6th. Should've moved here 10 years ago.
Everyone loves the 3 of you! How cool is that! Great show! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What an interesting video. How great to hear about how these folks got to The Villages! Thank you Linda & Jerry. Have a safe Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Glad you like them!
Sorry we missed you. As I sit here in Illinois, I am 6 hours, 10 minutes away from retirement. Will be back in The Village of St. Catherine tomorrow. First order of business, figure out what to do with my time other than obviously watch Jerry & Linda twice a week.
Hmm, might try this thing where they put a pickle in a ball - why just a pickle and not the whole cheeseburger?
Oh, and someone suggested I go on a dragon boat - don't they have big teeth, breath fire and eat people?
I'll figure it out.
Congratulations! 😁😁😁
This is such a cute video. It reminds me of the beginning of the movie when Harry Met Sally. Those couples are talking about how they met. Adorable
Jill & Brian...we're from York, PA but I'm currently sitting in Lancaster Co. at our campsite watching this video. We bought a home in TV last September but have 4 yrs until Retirement.

Thank you Linda and Jerry for all the videos and all the fun. Hi Gizmo
Loved this video. We're not retired, yet, but hoping to check out The Villages soon. It seems like the perfect place to retire to.
Great video! I smiled the whole way through. It was great seeing all those nice folks sharing some of their stories. God Bless you all!
You deserve every ThankYou. Congratulations!🎈🍾🎉
Sorry we missed the meet and greet. We start our lifestyle visit on Tuesday. Praying we find a house. Could you two make them lower the price tags! Lol see you when we get there! 💕
We will get right on that! 😁😁
My goodness! What great and sweet people! The realtor should give you commission👍
Thank you beach gal, always so nice.😁😁

Wish I could join you all Jerry,Linda and friends. I have been watching since Covid.
We would move to the villages too if we could. Thanks for your great programs.

Linda, wasn’t sure if you saw my request for glazed pineapple recipe. Please!
I honestly think TV owes you a commission on all the sales you've generated for them.😜
I know they don’t pay you guys one cent, but you should get 1% of every sale!!
❤❤❤
Well how did you like Top Gun 2? That was a big group you were with. I went at 11:30 AM so it was only 25% full.
Fantastic! Good to see you Joe!
Jerry and Linda you should get kick backs from the realtors for all the people you inspired to move to the villages!
What’s not to like about the adult paradise! ⛳️
With all the people moving in what is the leaving (die) rate ? And where do most get buried?
Not a single single. Was hoping for some confirmation that it would be easy to socialize even if not part of a couple.
Yes there was... look again! 😁
