Aww Gizmo:*( Sweet little boy is having the time of his life up in Heaven! Such a precious pup. Thank you always for such entertaining, FUN, and informative shows. XOgen lane helms
Where ever you are sitting for this video, it`s beautiful!!!! I could really chill out there!
You guys brighten my day. Love the joy that you both exude. Thank you for continuing to answer all our questions. I really look forward to all your videos but especially 🎶Mailbag Monday🎶 Linda, your hair looks really pretty. ❤️
Linda's hair is beautiful and her lipstick compliments her outfit BUT the best thing about Linda is her heart that shines through her eyes every episode.Jerry you picked a winner :).Linda - you cheer me with every video,thank you.
Agree Ellen
My husband and I have lived at the same place for 47 years here in Middle TN. We have lost several neighbors and relatives that lived near us. It hurts no matter where you live. God bless those that grieve.
I recently moved into my mom's home just north of 466. She bought 25 yrs ago. The original owners in this neighborhood are now gone or in their 80s and 90s.
Yes this is a part of the cycle of life. Within 8 months of mom's 90th birthday in 2019 three of her friends/neighbors passed.
The neighborhood is now welcoming younger residents as the original owners move on. Such is the cycle of life.
My ma was the last first buyer on her block ..
Moved here 2 years ago. We furnished our house completely using second hand sources. Estate/local garage sales, thrift/consignment shops, Craigs list, TV classifieds, Nextdoor, Facebook marketplace....Just need a little patience. Great deals!
No need to buy anything new.
I love, love, love your sense of humor Jerry!!! The only thing I love more is how Linda laughs at ALL of your jokes! Secret to a happy marriage!!!!
These folks would be the ideal neighbors. Such a great outlook on life. :)
Jerry and Linda Gizmo is so adorable.....one of my son's Dachshund is a miniature and he's dark brown smooth coat he loves to be held straight up like you are holding Gizmo the sweetest dogs!
Thanks for Always being so Wonderful! I'm Definitely here because of you both, like so many others! I'm very into The Southern Villages Fun Girls, (this is Gen, Hal's wife!) with Kellie Robertson and Janet and others-I coordinate a few clubs there; and help with the Ladies of Lake Denham (like the Madhatter Tea Party!) with Janice Parylak and now, somehow, I'm the activity coordinator for all of Lake Denham, throwing an event and just got in touch with your friend, Wally, about it! This place is beyond Amazing and my husband and I LOVE it here and say "Why didn't we move here SOONER?" Thank you So Much again for all the time and love you give to us all! Hope to see you soon now that we got here!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

HI Jerry and Linda. Beautiful lawn behind you! I love The Villagers. Snow and 10° in Indiana. Gregg's daughter following in his footsteps. She will. Be 1st year varsity coach at Crawford Co.
Watclhing you on YTube.
Thanks, Bea! Stay warm! 😁😁
Poke em club....Spit my coffee. Thanks for bringing some Florida sunshine and laughs into my cold Pennsylvania, Monday morning.
Good to see you sitting in the yard. The wind chill here on Long Island was 5 degrees on Sunday and 12 degrees on Monday.
Bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
And that's why I'm not in Ohio anymore!
I enjoy mailbag Mondays. I watch during my work lunch break and it gives me a chuckle sometimes. It seems like there’s a club for just about anything. Looking forward to my lifestyle visit later this year.
Almost forgot....see you on Wednesday Night Live with Skip.
I love your videos! My husband and I are both retired but are not quite ready to move yet. But love all the information you provide. We are from upstate New York. We have been to The Villages to visit friends and family twice now, but only for the day when we were staying in southern Florida. You both are so cute together!
Linda, your hair looks great! 🌷🌼 💃🌞 cool earrings too.
And again, thanks for all the wonderful videos. You are such a great couple. We love love love♡♡♡♡♡ Gizmo. What a cute little face of love he is! 💕💕💕💕
Love love love Wally’s intro!!
The best way to start the week is Mailbag Monday! I really enjoyed seeing the outdoors and that beautiful FL weather. Linda, your hair looks great. Jerry, it hurt a little to see you put on an Ohio St hat...... Enjoy the beautiful weather! Thank you!
Thanks, FD… we appreciate ya!
Loved the opening song. I really look forward to Monday Mailbag but don't forget about taking us on little adventures around the Villages. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Cynthia, Covid makes it more difficult, but we will!
Your channel keeps getting better and better...never fails to put me in a good mood. LOL at Gizmo watching Linda while she's reading off the club names.
Thinks little bee, we are so glad you like it.
Good Morning! Enjoy Mailbag Monday, Thank you for doing!
I don’t want to wish my life away, but so look forward to the day when having to deal with bugs on my golf cart ride is my biggest problem. I always look forward to mail bag Monday, thank you for these videos.
Glad you are enjoying the outside. We have a high of 20 today in upstate NY.
Bonjour. Yes, in our age group there is a lot of sad turnover, so to speak. Ambulances, in my development, are on silent mode once gate entered.Very nice review.
Linda your hair looks very nice & thank you for the activities list. I would like to hear more about activities. Gizmo needs a little shade cap. Nice way to start the morning with your lighthearted witty repartee. Jeanne
Lighthearted, witty repartee... ooo lala! We like that!
Hey guys , I liked that theme song , Mailbag Monday. That may be a keeper. Thanks
Thank you Jorge.
Linda's hair looks very pretty,much🙂 Gizmo needs a sleep 😴💙 F/ Oz
I love your videos. You both are so kind to each other. Poor Gizmo wants to doze off. He is so cute. Your Texas friend.
You two crack me up. Thanks for the entertaining (and informative) video !
Linda & Jerry, thanks again for all the helpful information. Really appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing ! Yes Hugs to Gizmo 🐶
That is the sweetest little dog, so cute 😍 🐾🐾
He's a keeper! Thanks, Cynthia!
@@JERRYANDLINDA absolutely. 😊
I love seeing how uninterested Gizmo is !...constantly falling asleep !...such a riot !
Each time I watch your videos, I enjoy them more than the last. You look like a fun couple and a great neighbor!
Thanks Donna, we are so glad that you like them.
Gizmo is so cute! He looks like he wants to take a nap! Too cute! Love your hair Linda!
You two are awesome! :) Love your content! Thanks for posting.
Love the beautiful outside view today and what a fabulous intro with the catchy jingle! 🌴❤️🎹 Gizmo was extra snuggly today too! After the restaurant round-up, I’m pretty sure I’ll be thinking about that tower of onion rings for the rest of the day! 😁🧅 YUM! TFS another great Mailbag Monday! 📫💌 Best! ☀️
Yes, Natalie!! We LOVES us some crispy onion rings! Thanks so much for your happy attitude! 🌝🌝
Thanks for providing the answer to my questions. Hope to see you again in May!
You ‘guys’ are great! I love watching and listening to you! A wealth of information
Thanks for for mentioning me on your Mailbag Monday. I hope you like the hat. Sunday we got a freezing rain up here and I nearly fell down the steps. So today Monday I’m staying in the house. I hate it. I’m looking forward to coming down there soon. Remember the hat is adjustable. So go Notre Dame and go Bucks(Ohio). See you when I get there
Thank you Ron. We really appreciate it!
Thanks Jerry for addressing my questions.. hope to see you when we get there (April)
Hi Jerry, Linda and Gizmo thank you so much for your vlogs - not only are they informative but they are funny and dare I say it ‘so cozy’ ! I am in the UK, it’s so cold and grey at the moment, I love Florida and obviously with everything that is going on in the world it may be a long time before we can visit again so I absolutely love seeing your lovely home, the areas near you on your ‘buggy rides’ and Gizmo melts my heart, I love all dogs every single one of them but dachshunds have a special place🤗 Hope you all stay well and safe😊
Thinks Marilyn,
You are so kind. We are glad you find our videos cozy and welcoming. What a wonderful compliment.
Great stuff. Love the mailbag segment
Think you so much, 1st of the day. We appreciate your kind comment.
Thanks guys! That is so sad, you have all the great times in the Villages and then, its game over!
It's coming for us all, just gotta live it up as long as you can.
I'm a former Villager. (Husband died, I moved back to WV). On my Facebook account, a Ten Year Memory popped up today --- I went to a Brass Ensemble Concert. Good memory.
Sorry to hear that Teresa. Yes, there are many fun things to do here. Some have shut down since the pandemic but there is still quite a bit to do.
You two are so fun!
Thanks, Paula!😁😁
Omgosh I can’t concentrate on y’all; Gizmo is TOO stinking cute!
Agree
Love your new theme song!!
Mmmmm 😛 Oak Wood BBQ! Beautiful haircut 💇🏻♀️ Linda! Great new Mailbag Monday jingle 🎶! Enjoy your swimming 🏊♀️ weather - gonna get 2” of snow/ice up here overnight! 🥶
Well when your sons come to visit go shopping and use their discounts! Nice Vlog very informative! I enjoy Aldis Stores, good prices!
I sure know about the coroner in my neighborhood I have had 3 in the past couple of months or so (so sad)
Thanks for another video...love your favorite places.....enjoy your day from a resident of the east coast.
Thanks Terrie!
It looks nice and warm down there! Beats this ice in Cincinnati! As always, enjoy your videos!
The senior high rise I lived in was constantly visited by the ambulance and in the past four months, there were three visits by the coroner. Many times the ambulance was called to lift someone up who'd fallen. I moved to a more regular mix neighborhood. Too much misery in senior housing because many are high density, so the senior population is concentrated In a more compact area.
Good mailbag again this week. Thanks!
Great Segment today. Thanks
Thanks, Anne.
It looks like you are living the dream. Congrats. No since in being bothered by the world. You worked for this and earned your spot in paradise. Way to go fellow BSU Grads and HOWICK HALL GRAD as well!!!
BILL!! Thanks, bro!
Linda, Jerry and Gizmo, you guys are great. I love listening to your videos.
Keep up the good work.
On the furniture: I would think estate sales would be a good source.
Linda , your hair looks great! As always, enjoyed your video!
A great backdrop cheers me up just viewing it, great as always, I appreciate the research you always put in to make the vlog quality great.
Linda's very good-natured and tolerant.
What is she so tolerant of? Please elaborate.
@@robk1310 Why, Jerry, of course! :-)
Love the intro! You two look great. Stay safe and stay well.
Thank you guys so much for your videos. We are planning a move this year to the Villages and they are so helpful!!
Wally nice intro...I would keep that one for some time! Gizmo is SO CUTE and well behaved at least on camera.
Hi Guys we are coming to the villages February 3 to 7 hope to meet up with you guys John and my wife Mary.
Introducing the Love Bug Calendar!!!
Hair looks great, Linda. Thanks for another entertaining Monday. My nephew wants me to move to Arizona. I used to want to as well, but I want to buy a house, not rent. I haven’t ruled it out, but I’m not optimistic. My nephew and niece are also my children. My sister passed away and I became the mother figure. I loved my sister, but she had a tough life. I’m a far better mom to those kids. I feel very sad when I say that. Sad for the children. Thanks again.
Love it---good song!
Great video guys.. Thanks
Another great video guys. As a sometimes snowbird I agree with Oakwood BBQ! Yummy 😋
Love watching you Two!
I worked at Henkel-Harris Co., Inc for a long, long time. It is valuable. Cherry, mahogany, and walnut. Sometimes you can find it on Craigslist, Estate auctions, even Ebay. People's tastes have changed over the years and they now prefer throw-away furniture such as from Wayfair.
Great intro! Poor Gizmo, looking very sleepy on a Sunday morning! :)
Love you two. Grace the artist
Thank YOU, Grace!
Great song by Wally. He is very talented.
So sad about the Coroner segment but it is also a happy thing. Those people chose where they wanted to be and perhaps spent their last years enjoying something fun. Now they have gone on to something even better. Maybe in heaven they are saying “See you when you get here” . 😀
Haha... Catherine, that is a great take on it. Like the old saying, tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
Awesome song!!!!
Love your hair Linda!
J&L, I lIke the new setting in the back yard very much.
Full of info..See your live show coming up on Skips channel this Weds. Try to watch!!
Thanks J/C, that will be something new for us.
@@JERRYANDLINDA I tried to watch..And it is totally out of control...I will watch your next video..please keep it simple..please
So enjoy your friendly banter. We visited The Villages last July, exploring retirement in Florida. Sadly, we caught the virus somewhere on the way down. We’re fine now, but decided a move to the Sunshine State isn’t for us at this time. Hopefully we will reconsider in the future.
That's bad luck, Kim. Hopefully, See you when you get here!
Did you know that the Villages has a ham radio club.
I made contact with them on my ham radio in NC.
They sent me a nice cert. to frame and display.
It is a great hobby I am sure you would enjoy it.
Check it out.
Gizmo was trying so hard to stay awake! I love your videos and positive perspective!
You two are an adorable couple, I watch your show because of your kind and gentle way. Your dog is adorable. I wish I liked the weather of Florida but my body can not tolerate humidity and Florida summers are the worse. The greenery is plush and beautiful looking. I live in Prescott, AZ and I am looking for retirement community like yours but without the heat.
Thank you, Dee Dee. You're so nice.
Love your videos
Hi. From near Chicago 6 to 8 inches snow coming later today. Huh! Enjoy the sun!😁
I am in the northwest suburbs, in Schaumburg, so glad I am working from home these days. Most snow for the Chicago area since April, 2019. ❄❄☃️☃️
@@lauralampe1664...Hi Laura! I lived in Roselle before we retired to Central Florida in the early 2000’s....just heard from family that more snow is coming...please stay warm🌹
@@bonniefuller858 Schaumburg got 7 inches of snow last night/early this morning. More snow possibly this Saturday and Sunday. Lucky us. ❄❄☃️☃️
Yes, I remember registering my 2 vehicles for the first time when We moved to Fl. Ouch!
Linda's hair looks great :) Gizmo dozing off, lol. You two are so classy, love you both, oh and Gizmo too.
I lived in a senior community for 7 years and there were 7 neighbors and myself that were pretty close. One by one they would get sick and die, would fall and die during surgery or would be found dead in bed, having died in their sleep. Then there was only the lady next door to me and myself. All the others were new people and six of the original group had died. Then the lady next door to me died and I thought......seven down, one to go and I was the one.....also thought how it was way too depressing and I hesitated to get close to anyone there and decided to move and get a small apartment in a small town where there were all age groups and get away from all the dying all around me. The neighbors here were really nice and diverse. I especially loved the one couple next to me who were about 25 years younger than me and would always be looking out for me and helping any way they could, They were both so very active, traveled a lot and just so full of fun and laughter., In a matter of around 5 months, one of them came down with cancer and died. It is way harder to lose someone so much younger and so full of life and dreams then one (or 7) of your peers when you are older.
So I am new here. Just met a lady in pet park who was from my home town and I graduated with her daughter... yes people are so easy to meet.
You are a part of my Monday mornings. Nice to see you outside in tee shirts while I prepare to go out into 25 degree New York weather! How is the vaccination going on down there? It has hit a roadblock here. Be well.
Gizmo is squinting. Soo cute!!
I too am a retired LEO. I suggest to the other retired LEO that they apply for the HR-218 Law Enforcement Carry. This allows you to carry your weapon in ALL 50 States (includes Mass, DC, New York, Calif, and other states that restrict gun carry. Not many people know about this law passed several years ago but you can easily obtain one. I plan on moving to TV and look forward to meeting other retired LEO's.
Like the new theme song!! You guys are awesome!
Thanks Tim!
Lots of Buckeyes here!!! Go Bucks!
Tampa bay bucs? Milwaukee bucs??? whom are we talking about:)
Ohio State Buckeyes!
Sleepy Gizmo is the best Gizmo❤️🐾
I love mailbag Monday! Been to oak wood smokehouse that is great! Thank you both for raising sons that wanted to go into the military. My husband was in Iraq in 05 and had to go to Afghanistan for 4 weeks to evaluate how his US training was going it was nerve wracking did you look at any other are in the Villages besides where you live?
OMG, the intro music is so much fun!!!
Love your new haircut Linda
Wow, you guys are gettin' too cool for school with that new theme song! Playin' in the big leagues now!!
Love the theme song!
I think Linda is developing a southern accent, and I love it. And......southern gals don’t sweat, they glisten. When you were talking about the love bugs, I had this mental image of a love bug, checking his pocket watch to see if it was time to come out 🤣.
I was looking at homes in Florida and SC near Hilton Head. The lovebugs are horrible! They stain your cars if you don't keep wiping them off. When you open your door to get inside your home they follow you in! No thanks, not for me. And let's talk about all the dead bugs near your doors and window's......
@@janiceestes9518 I would rather have love bugs for a few weeks per year than 4 months of ice and snow...but that's just .me...prepping my snow brush and my ice melter jjust outside of the Windy City. ❄❄☃️☃️
@@lauralampe1664 That's my spin on it. I live in the South and we don't have those nasty bugs here. I was from the North now living in the South. I was very tired of the snow too. Have a nice day.
Love mailbag Monday and your intro song! We bought in 2018 and furnished our entire home in one weekend from estate sales. 😁 cute hair cut Linda
Thanks, Mary.
