I've been living in The Villages 4 years now and 3 years ago, found out that 2 people that I went to school with from 1st grade to 12th grade lived here. We all graduated together from Copiague HS, in Copiague, LI, NY! What a nice surprise meeting people I've known since we were all 6 years old here in The Villages! They got married after graduation. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Linda!
First, Happy Birthday, Linda! I agree with you about the deed restrictions. If you're going to live in a retirement community, you will have to pare down and get rid of "stuff". One man's art is another's eyesore.
God bless you both. You are truly doing the Lord's work during these troubling times. Please stay safe and remain positive as you enjoy your well-earned retirement in Florida.
We love your channel and the Newcomers are very informative. Thanks for the time you take to keep this channel active. Jerry and Shirley from Dahlonega, Ga.
Hi all love your response to when does one stop becoming a newcomer ? Jerry and Linda's reviews help me and others to decide if the villages is right for us. And when i come down there to visit next year i will be a newcomer. Thanks for all you do Jerry and Linda :)
Happy Belated Bday Linda!! Neither one of you look like you're old enough to qualify for all those discounts! You truly are living a great life and seem truly happy!!
Awww! I was behind a couple of videos! Happy birthday Linda!!! Best wishes for a healthy and happy year!!! Filled with joy and (hopefully) some great adventures!!!
Hi Jerry and Happy Birthday Linda! As far as the term "Newcomers" goes, I look at it like the term "Young at Heart"; If you two are still learning new things, then you will always be The Villages Newcomers. Thanks so much for what you do, we feel very blessed to subscribe to your channel. Brian and Nanda (Chicago area).
If I was ever in a position to relocate to the Villages the information your videos have given are invaluable. Thanks for all you do for the prospective newcomers.
Happy Birthday Linda, I'm glad Jerry gave you a "Good Laugh" and you guys chose to share it. Watching from Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati (close to your old area). I bid all "Be Well in the New Year"!
My brother retired to a mobile home neighborhood near Fruitland Park. Not my cup of tea but he was happy and lived there for many years before he passed away in 2018.
Happy Birthday Linda! 🎂🎉. Also, we agree with The Villages restrictions. Some folks may not like the restrictions and we may not like them either but restrictions are there for a reason. Anyway, we enjoyed your Mailbag Monday as always. We love Gizmo...
I lived in Saint Augustine on a little sailboat for five years . When the boat sold I moved back to NY ☹️☹️☹️ and leaving my grands behind in Ocala. I am planning to move back down this year. I love it down there😊
Hi guys, happy belated birthday to Linda. In relation to the question about the police. You actually have a small 'satellite' station in Brownwood, right next door to the cinema. I don't think it's well marked so many people don't know it's there. I got that info from watching one of Skip's videos. All the very best. Love your videos. In these stressful times they are a real pleasure to watch. Thank you
Happy Birthday Linda😊 Agree your tag is now FOR , “The Newcomers” to TV’s😉 See that heater and being from the Northeast which month offers the best balance of warm and humidity to visit👍 and.. Jerry you share often of the home & farm back in Indiana, will you show us some pics sometime? windchines & cigar smoke, ugh
I agree. I Live next to an abandoned Home & homeowner has been using this home as commercial land fill & dump. Grass is 5 ft tall & city says due to privacy fence they cant make homeowner cut grass or clean up yard. No one wants to live next to a landfill & has decreased my home value. So I would love to live where deed restrictions for home/yard are enforced.
Oh thanks! I think I will stick with Earthquakes as I am more familiar with them than sinkholes. I've watched several of your videos wondering why I never embraced Florida. This seals the deal for me. :)
Have been binge watching your videos for past 2 mos.....all caught up! Kinda makes me sad now that I watched them so fast!! You two shine such a bright light in these dark times. I turn off the news and go right to your channel to brighten my day! Btw, love your shirts but I just looked up at the TV and looked back and thought the palm tree was a spider!!!! 😩
Hello, Having lived in south Florida for 25 years I learned that homeowner’s insurance is one of the biggest scams. You pay premiums for regular homeowners, plus extra for flood wind, hurricane and sink holes insurance. If you put a claim in due to damage to your home, they raise your rates or drop you. If there is a catastrophic hurricane like Andrew, the insurance companies will pull out of the area leaving you without homeowners insurance, forcing you to purchase state homeowners insurance which is extremely expensive. A lot of People were going bankrupt many years ago because the premiums were $50,000 per year. So when you see a commercial for insurance that claims they are there for you. Do not believe them. Thanks for the video.
Happy Birthday, Linda! Gizmo is one lucky guy getting hot dogs for being a good boy! I like Mailbag Mondays. You answer questions that I didn’t know I wanted to know! Thanks for sharing!
Live in Massachusetts. I lived in Hot climate, Houston, in the 1970's TOO HOT. In Massachusetts we have our hot days, 95 degrees and high humidity, We have tornadoes, we even have earthquakes. But most of all, I like a good old fashioned blizzard. 35 MPH winds, and snow of 12" It's Mother Nature's way of showing you she's the boss. In more rural Massachusetts away from Boston we got land, over an acre. And I'd miss my Boston Red Sox,, and Boston Bruins hockey. You both seem like very nice people whom I'd want as my neighbor
I'm SO glad I don't have to listen to any of my neighbors' wind chimes. (Many condominiums and apartments all over the US don't allow wind chimes because they annoy people. That's not just at The Villages.) And, I'm glad the lady across the street is moving soon because she doesn't keep her yard neat.
Happy birthday to Linda! So far in the Keys we haven't hit below 50 degrees been quite a while it does happen but it's all relative because in the 50s I'm freezing my butt off.
Love that it was pointed out that Jerry said "my" son and corrected it to "our". My husband also does that when he is talking about " our" kids, or the house or the car etc etc.I correct on occasion but he usually goes back to saying it anyway the next time.
Happy birthday, January 7, Linda. Did you say Villages High School? I’m baffled. I love the sound of trains. Not only can I hear them, but sometimes I can see them from my back bedroom. I can also hear the ships arriving and leaving the port. Love it, love it, love it. If you have a lot of rain regardless if it’s common or a rare occurrence, you can have a sinkhole or ground collapse. We had a flood in 2012 in rocky Duluth and had a lot of ground collapse and sinkhole or two. There are UA-cam videos on sinkholes and info on the insurance costs on UA-cam specifically in The Villages. I like to be informed. I don’t like surprises.
Very interesting to hear your in depth answers to questions. Your doing a great job. The Village's is just not the life style for me but I do understand how the lifestyle would suit many people. I think housing cost everywhere in the USA is just getting too high for middle class folks.
Happy Birthday, Linda! Where did you go for your birthday dinner? I took my husband to Wolfgang Puck at Brownwood Hotel. We stayed there, too...it was fun!
I finally saw Gizmo up close. He (?) is wonderful....looks almost identical to the beautiful little sausage dog we used to have. I really like the content that you both put out. I've only viewed about 1 1/2 of them so far because I just today stumbled across your channel. I live a long ways away, in a golf course community in Northern Idaho, in the inland northwest.

Your dog steals the show, so cute.
“For heaven’s sake, don’t trust us for legal, or medical advice!” Hahaha. I love that!
Hey guys. Great video. Just remember to stock up on water and pantry items. Gonna get wild soon.
Very interesting to hear your in depth answers to questions. Your doing a great job. The Village's is just not the life style for me but I do understand how the lifestyle would suit many people. I think housing cost everywhere in the USA is just getting too high for middle class folks.

CT, we went to Ricciardi's! Excellent!
Happy birthday Linda, love your videos!
Happy Birthday. 🎁🎂🎉 you 2 are a hoot!!!
Happy belated birthday Linda
Belated Happy Birthday Linda 🎉🎈🎂
I didn’t own a vehicle for almost two years. Hardly ever left “the bubble.” Like you, my physician is outside though.
Lots of great information
I’m planning my first trip down there in April… Rented a villa for a month in Brownwood. Can’t wait… You make it sound so fun!!
See you when you get here, Cindi!
I finally saw Gizmo up close. He (?) is wonderful....looks almost identical to the beautiful little sausage dog we used to have.
