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!

“For heaven’s sake, don’t trust us for legal, or medical advice!” Hahaha. I love that!
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.
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!!
Happy 45 years young today, Linda. 🎉🎀🎊🪅🎏🎈

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...
Happy Happy Birthday LINDA!! 🎉🎂🎉🎂Linda
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.
Wind chimes!!! Hate them. Happy Birthday Linda
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).
Happy belated birthday, Linda! Hope your day was filled with fun and presents from Gizmo. Oh, and Jerry too! :)
Hope you had a great birthday and Jerry took you some place special!
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😊

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.
Your dog steals the show, so cute.
Belated Happy Birthday Linda 🎉🎈🎂
Happy Birthday you do not look a day over 50 ! and as newcomer think you are fine being Village Newcomers. Good video .
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 :)

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
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE WATCHING YOU THREE
Happy birthday Linda, Nancy and I will be there in 27 days can't wait to meet you guys
Happy belated birthday, Linda.
Happy Birthday Linda.
Thanks. Great idea especially when Texas just recently lost power during freezing weather for a few days in many cities.
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

Yes, it's a substation for the Wildwood city police. They coordinate police protection throughout TV, from several agencies.
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 and many more!
I didn’t own a vehicle for almost two years. Hardly ever left “the bubble.” Like you, my physician is outside though.
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! I love watching you guys when you post. Your have just a genuine love of each other and life. Have a great day!
Happy Birthday Linda, finally you can drink legally. Hope you have a great birthday with many many many more to come. your friend as always. Bobby.
🎂🎈Happy Birthday Linda🎈🎂
