Dating at any age means you have to “shop in your own show room.” If you’re overweight and ungroomed, don’t be looking for someone who’s physically fit and put together. If you wanna date, get in your best form possible. Looks, first impressions, etc. do matter.
I totally agree. Dating is a two way street, right? You’ve gotta make yourself the best version of you! 😜. Wishing us all luck in the dating world :)
Loved this interview. Morgan, I pray you can actually prepare a proposal for the monorail system. That would be sooooo amazing. I'd love the fast train to airport, too. Let's see if these ideas can 'set root' here and grow. ☺️🙏☺️
Fingers crossed! I think a monorail would be fun and well used by all!
Such a wonderful person to interview ! Its nice to hear peoples view on the Villages ! Thank You ! 🙏❤️
We love sharing the diverse views of our Villager neighbors! 🙏
Great interview!
thanks for watching!!
Best guest yet.
Thanks! Hopefully you'll enjoy some other upcoming guests as well :)
Tina has to go to that pizza place and report back 😊 I hear the pool maintenance costs are truly high in TV.
We are about to start our "Pizza taste test" will have to put Morgan's pick on the list!
Another great guess Tina, always bringing the best of the villages, ladies of the Lani, allways Great!!!
We try to find the best and brightest in the Villages to share our stories with you! Thanks for being one of our biggest cheerleaders
Great interview !🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks for watching Mia!
Good looking man!
Thanks for noticing! He's a good guy too 😊
We used the pools every day til about November. Great interview!!
I'm jealous! I want a pool too :)
We took our golf cart from Dabney all the way to Spanish Springs and back. It was fun!!
Wow! I'm impressed - I need to make a trip to Spanish Springs in mine too :)
That’s what I noticed as well, no one wears black in TV. I wore primarily black in Ohio. Scraped those for sure.
Most of my black clothes are in NYC! Florida is all colors :). Thanks for watching - you have a good eye
I so agree with something to go from square to square. I never thought about a monorail but that is a great idea! Sounds like an E ticket at Disneyland for those old enough to remember that.
It's a great idea right? maybe we can get some traction - we just need the $
I find his voice so appealing and almost calming. Could listen to him all day.
Morgan does have a calming effect right? thanks for watching!
Thanks you two, great video 😉
We appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Morgan should indeed be a spokesperson for The Villages.
We agree - he would be a great promoter of The Villages!
this is my favorite interview. Morgan is amazing. Love this interview. My wife and I are building in Water's Edge with a closing date of 4/9 so we will be there soon.
How exciting! Hope you have a great experience building... Thanks for watching
Nice to meet you Morgan! What a fascinating person. And thank you for your service!
Thanks, we love Morgan, too!
Soooo enjoyed❤
Thanks so much for watching. We appreciate your love!
Hello Tina and Morgan, Happy New Year and glad to see you both. Wow I didn't know that they did commercials for The Villages. Yes I agree because I love the walking paths because they are so beautiful and peaceful. What a great video and try to stay warm!!
You are absolutely right, the paths are beautiful and peaceful. I didn't know about the commercials either, I guess we both learned something new :) Happy New Year and thanks for watching!
Love these videos. Learning about the folks in The Villages is really interesting.
We love sharing our community with you! Thanks so much for watching !
That was a great video. What a nice gentleman you interviewed he answered all your questions extremely well thank you.
Morgan really is a great guy. Thanks for watching!
Great episode. Morgan seems like a great guy
He's terrific! thanks for watching :)
What a well spoken man Morgan is! He seems so down to earth and was able to explain the choices his family has made eloquently. He should be doing the Villages commercials.
I agree! He's a walking advertisement for The Villages - let's get him hired :)
Wife and I are moving to Well Point later this month. Hope to meet Morgan on the bike paths!
That would be awesome if you crossed bike paths :) Well Point sounds like it will be a great location!
So glad Morgan found you to get on the show. Morgan’s story is very interesting and he’s a very charismatic man and enjoyable to listen to.
He is one of the best! So glad you enjoyed it.
Great video!!! One of the best.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Morgan is a great guest!
Can you still participate in the 50's group if you just turned 60? Seeing you are saying there are 40's in there as well.
Hi @christinemilke6827. I don’t think the admin admits anyone over 59 to the group - you can try and see if she lets you but I don’t think so. If your significant other is 59 or below and joins, you can certainly join the fun as a plus one! There is also a group called “born in the 1960’s The Villages Florida” and they also do a lot of fun events and sometimes we co-host with them. I would give them a try as well 🩷
Love the series.
thanks for the love :) There's more to come!
Here in North Carolina, there has been TV commercials for The Villages for years. Great video. Nice to meet you Morgan.
I had no ideas The Villages aired commercials! thanks for the confirmation and thanks for watching!
Great video thanks for all the hard work
Appreciate you watching!
this is terrible.. to many The Villages stuff. I'll stck with jerry and Linda.. you guys are really lame.
Hi @joemancurreri6635! Ouch-‘lame’ stings a bit, but we’ll take it in stride. After all, we’re here for the fun, not the fame. Since we are a channel about The Villages, our viewers can except lots of Villages info…. If sticking with Jerry and Linda makes you happy, we support it-Villagers gotta stick together! Did you catch the 2 shows where we had them on as guests - hopefully you enjoyed those better. But hey, if you ever feel like spicing things up, we’ll still be here, keeping it lively on the lanai. Who knows? You might just find we’re not as ‘lame’ as you think 😉.
Love this long-form conversation/interview. It's very informative for those of us thinking about making the move...Thank you!
Thanks, we really appreciate your feedback, it's more helpful to us that you know! Good luck with your decision!
Now I want to come to TV more than ever!
Laura - come on down, the water's fine!
Pizza we like Gio Deli 3975 co Rd Oxford fla. 301 near the post office
Thanks for sharing Tina. My wife and I are moving to Waters Edge in April, and your information is helping us prepare for our new Villages life!
Waters Edge sounds like it will be one of the best locations in Eastport :) you’ll be coming at a great time. High season will be almost over so not as crowded for a first timer! Get ready to live your best life :). Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Love this, Happy New Year!! I’m hoping Trader Joe’s comes too!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
We are not alone :)
Tina if you rent a pool can you bring food and drinks?
Yes! Food and drinks are permitted at the pool but there are specific guidelines and rules they will give you when you sign the contract. No food or drink in the pool and it has to be kept a certain distance from the water…. It’s nice to have a pool party. Good luck!!
Napolinos on 301 is must try. Pizza sucks around here. Do the pizza taste test. That would be awesome.
I’ve been to Napolino’s 2 times and thought it was ok. Gino’s up farther is really good :). We will work on the pizza taste test as everyone seems to want it now!!
Nice interview! I was there earlier this month for a week checking things out. Still deciding on a cross country move. How did you two meet?
Hi Julie and good luck with the decision making process. We met through a mutual friend, Nellie. Nellie was my realtor and we became friends. (Christine) Tina and Nellie had been friends for a while longer, having lived in the same building in NY.
Love you ladies. A pizza review video sounds wonderful. Wishing both of you a Happy, healthy New Year!
Pizza review planning is underway!
Hi Tina! Where do you find most of your golf/athleisure clothes in TV? I’m still fairly new to TV and new to golf and just can’t find good places to shop for clothes yet. Thanks!
Believe it or not, i find most of them at Bealls! Not too expensive and a decent variety. Also the golf shop at Baseline golf course in Ocala has a nice selection. I haven’t been to the new Pro Golf shop in the north but i heard they have cute clothes but maybe a little pricey! Happy shopping :)
@ thanks Tina!
It was great to "meet" you!
Glad you enjoyed "meeting" Tina!!!
This was a great video. Your channel is getting better with each video. Happy New Year 🎉
Hey thanks for your support Fierce Flyer! We are learning as we go!
It is hard to believe that Tina is single she is very pretty with a great sense of humor
Right!?! I would love to see her meet Mr. Right she is a catch and a half!
Hello! How do we find out more information on the 50’s group? Thanks we will be visiting in January and would be interested in meeting other 50 something’s!
You can find the 50 Something group on Facebook. It’s a private group so You’ll need to ask to join and there’s probable a little bit of a wait to get in but you’ll be happy you joined once you’re in. So many fun and wonderful people in the group. I’m not sure how to add a pic in this comment but the exact name is “50 Something in The Villages”. Hopefully you’ll get in while visiting!
Love that you said The Flying Biscuit we think they are awesome and we could eat there every day! We use A.M. luxury chauffer service. We take people to the Orange Blossom pool and all the Rec Centers. Love the interview Tina! Love your TH-cam channel ladies. I have natural curly hair and I have issues there versus in Kansas. I have to use different products on my hair there. I can't wait we can afford to move there. The cost of living there is 5x more expensive than Kansas. Love Trader Joe's good one! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. Orange Blossom is a fav of friends with priority pool access! Us curly hair girls need to find some good products to share with each other! Hope to see you here soon and fingers crossed we have a Trader Joe’s by the time you arrive :)
Nice job Tina, keep living your best life! You worked hard for it!
That is a nice thought Captain, thank you.
Great video ladies, I'm glad you are both there, enjoy your time in the villages, your both so great!!❤
Hey Kyle, we really do enjoy doing this together too!
Hi ladies! Thanks for the great content. I’m moving to the villages in a few days (yay!) and would love to join a 50-something group. Can you share how I would find out about this?
They are a private group on Facebook. You’ll need to ask to join and there may be a little bit of a wait but you’ll enjoy everyone and all the events once you are in! The exact name is “50 Something in The Villages” hope to see u in the group soon!
