My dads a woodworker. His club makes toys every Christmas for kids. My daughter has a beautiful doll rocking bed. Such a neat skill.
My husband loves woodworking and has many things for our home!
Thanks! This should get you a trip to Five Guys ! Thanks for all the great videos.
Oh my goodness! Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a generous gift.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You bet. I don’t comment much. But my parents moved to The Villages in 1995. So many great memories. Now I just have to decide if I retire there. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking us along on your cart rides! Love your positive attitudes. ❤ And the beautiful surroundings too!
My goodness Jerry and Linda! We just missed you by a couple of weeks! Our lifestyle visit in the middle of last month (May 2023) was in Atwood, in the "Leland Stone" which is that green house on your right as you enter the cul-de-sac turnabout. That outhouse was there by the mailboxes then too. The villa was much larger and spacious than we thought it would be. Three Bedrooms, 2 baths and separate laundry room. All tile floor, and the Lanai was most excellent. We thought it was possible if we worked hard, to shrink down to that, we'll see. The Villages sales office really took care of us. We enjoyed our morning walks down to that Pond to watch the ducks, ducklings, and big white birds frolic there. Thanks for the free souvenir video tour of our lifestyle stay!
Thanks for the tour. First time visiter. Not wanting to work today so touring the villages with y'all. Blessings.
Our pleasure! Thank you and "Book him, Dano"
@@JERRYANDLINDA Haha - nice one that you caught my ID!
I don't like using public restrooms either but I always think that the cleanliness of the restrooms is an indication of how clean the kitchen is.
Jerry & Linda, this will remain a favorite show for us. We just spent a week at Atwood Bungalows on Lifestyle visit. We drove the golf cart on same trails you covered. Also over bridge at Brownwood to Richmond was lovely evening cruise. Yes these have Laundry rooms for washer dryer. 3 Bedrooms, screened sun patio, enclosed backyard. Surprisingly peaceful given proximity to Hotel and major road. Thanks to you we will have a home movie of our stay🤗
We are so glad that you had a good experience, and glad that you got to come down after viewing for all this time.
I enjoyed going along on your little drive. Thank you for sharing.
What a nice cruise through the 3 villages! Thank you
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for taking us through a Villa neighborhood.
Just Beautiful!! What wonderful neighborhoods. I am a Big fan
❤❤❤
Very nice guys! I always love taking a little sightseeing ride with you two. Thank you.
You two have too much fun!
You two do a good job as tour guides. I always look forward to your next one while enjoying this one. Haha.
Hi Jerry and Linda! I love your golf cart rides. It feels like we’re there riding along. We saw the house we stayed in at Atwood for our life style visit last summer. We enjoyed staying there. So spacious. Thanks for the ride. 🙋🏻♀️❤️
Wow! What a fun ride. It was great to see the neighborhood we stayed in. Our model in Atwood was very nice. They were re-paving the roads when we were there and I think that is why that porta-potty was there by the mailboxes. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. We were in the on you pointed out as being beige.
Thanks for bringing us along with ya’ll. 😊 Just loved it 🥰
Our pleasure!
Thanks again for more very needed info!!
I just endured another fun golf cart ride 😂…now I can start my day…Good job guys👍👍
Thanks for driving by the Atwood Bungalow we stayed at for our Lifestyle visit back in August. We loved being so close to Brownwood. Don't feel bad Linda, I saw a guy with a toddler go through that roundabout last Thursday!
We recently loved our stay at Atwood. Can't wait to return and look for our own home!
That was a fun relaxing ride along. Thanks for showing three neighborhoods for comparison. Love y'all's commentary. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it
I always enjoy your golf cart rides.
Glad you like them!
We just left today from our lifestyle visit at Atwood!! It was so cool seeing our house on this video!! We were in a Winslow model 3 bedroom /2bath, laundry room and large beautiful lanai! And yes there is a pool at Alden, it’s forward just pass the house with the hot rod golf car(t)! You never passed it in your video!
Thanks again for a great video, timing on this particular one was perfect!
I just love the golf cart tours. It doesn't take much to confuse me, I'd be so lost traveling the different Villas.
Thank you for the lovely tour! I always love your golf cart tours - so relaxing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Lynda!
The sky was so beautiful on this ride! I have a friend who lives in a villa in Gilchrist, and while I've not yet seen it in person, the pictures are beautiful, and she's very happy there! This was such an enjoyable ride! It's fun to see things and recognize where you are after watching your videos! Thanks for the ride!
It really is!
Jerry and Linda came to visit me when I was on a life style visit in Atwood. The pond or as you referred to at the lake was right behind me. In the morning The sun would rise in the lanai. The birds would chirp and wake me up. It was magnificent day! Someday I’ll be there. it was close to Brownwood. Your video reminded me of how good of a time I had. Thanks 😂
We stayed at cracked walnut when we came for our lifestyle visit. They are so nice! We are so glad that they finished repairing the road. Looks great!
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I had not seen Atwood Bungalows Love the color schemes.
What a beautiful day!
Yes it was!
love you guys see you soon
Such a pleasant ride today through these bungalows!! We have never been there so we learned something g new today!! We have bought shirts from Tommy Bahamas and it’s an outlet store. We love their prices & selections too!!
I WAS THERE UNTIL THE END 👏👏❤️😍ENJOYED THE RIDE 😊
You're the best!
I miss that cart ride! Your videos always keep me super excited to be here!🎉
Thanks, friend!
Hi Jerry & Linda- love this format! Fun looking at different areas. thx
Our pleasure!
Hi Lerry and Jinda, You always have a good time spending time together. Always enjoy your senses of humor! Beautiful neighborhoods.
Thanks so much
Thanks for going through Atwood. You drove right by where we stayed. We'll be back.
This was a great video Jerry and Linda. Today is a very hard day for me, so I really enjoyed this relaxing and beautiful ride. Have a wonderful weekend, and love to Gizmo also!
hope tomorrow is better.
You two (and all the people you've interviewed) are helping us so much. We've already done one lifestyle visit although hubby ended up having emergency surgery while we were on our LS visit. We have decided to do another one this year and check out neighborhoods as you are showing us. I thought I wanted brand new but I am rethinking that idea!! We will see you when we get there!!
Good that you are rethinking the "brand new" idea. No groceries or gas nearby for awhile. Good luck to you.😊
Stick sting and bite you😂sounds like the desert 🌵 Everything in the desert is designed to kill you the desert doesn’t want you 😂 The villas are beautiful love all the palms 🌴
You passed my new neighborhood! We close on our house in Lake Deaton TODAY!!! Closing by FedEx because we’re in Texas. Can’t wait to get there next week!!! ❤️🙏😀🎉
We did our lifestyle visit (because of you two) last February and our house was in Atwood with a view of the pond you showed out our lanai. The American white pelicans on the pond were so entertaining I could have watched their antics and regiment all day between synchronized feeding and the lines formed to get into and out of the pond. It was a great first impression.
We LOVE the pelicans. You were lucky to see them as they're only here for two/three months or so.
I love the matching T shirts.
Our lifestyle visit was in Atwood a view lot to that beautiful pond. We loved it!
I wish they would make a place like this except in cooler climate. I think tiny houses would be a cool neighborhood design. Great vid
We live in a courtyard villa with a front load garage. We looked at the ones with side load and the garages are much smaller. Our washer and dryer are on the inside and in it’s own room with a utility sink. We love our Montclair Courtyard villa.
I like your videos they are informative to future buyers
Such fun! Yes, I do remember Larry the wandering alligator and that was the real issue. So off Larry went to a new safer for all home, and everyone was glad for him. Those bungalows are great but very pricy. Good looking neighborhoods.
Thanks for the enjoyable golf cart tour. The thing I love most about living in FL… everything is beautiful outside Year round, no dead or dying horticulture 😎
I am sitting outside here in Scottsdale, Arizona - love the green & the trees….sigh. Oh, well - no humidity has a price, lol.🌵✌🏽😎🇺🇸
Wanted to thank you for your videos. Your video popped up in our feed which started our journey to buy a home in an active 55+ in Fl. We ended up buying in Sunbridge, St. Cloud Del Webb community but just wanted to say thanks and still enjoy your videos.
Congratulations! Hope you love it there.
Great video. Seeing the different areas of The Villages is nice.
Thanks, Jeff!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for this video! I have been searching for homes in the Villages and decided it would be best to do a Lifestyle visit and decide which Village would be for me. Watching this helps so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Linda and Jerry. I love your golf cart videos! Kathy from Tumwater Wa. 😊
GM, Jerry and Linda! It is going to be a year in August that I have moved to the Villages. I been wanting to shake your hand and thank you personally for all the information you provide. How can I meet you?
Yeah sometimes we announce our whereabouts on our Facebook page. If you follow us there, you'll probably be able to track us down.
We stayed in the Atwood Bungalows on June! Amazing house it was the green house (Lake Iris) on the corner of Essex Dr by the pond view. You walk into the house from the garage and you can see directly out the lanai to the pond. That would be my forever home. But not at the price it would go for. Thanks for the golf car ride!
We did our lifestyle visit last year and stayed in Atwood. Looking forward to coming back soon!
I stayed at Atwood Bungalows for both of my lifestyle visits. Very nice neighborhood. Looking forward to retiring in The Villages.
For only being in The Villages only four years, you sure know your way around. Enjoy your videos.
Thanks! 👍
This was such a good video. So much to see and so much great information., I love how they continue to change up things. Like the round about for golf carts. Thank you for all you do to provide fun and informative
Thanks so much!
I like the cart rides. 😊 interesting to see the different neighborhoods. For sure Jerry, if we at one time moved from a small house to a bigger house, we can survive the reverse again. We don’t need so much stuff to be happy.
For sure!
Great ride. I agree more signs showing where you’re going and more here turn would be very helpful.
Alden Bungalows is my favorite of the three (but every neighborhood is fantastic) love the Thursday golf car/cart videos!
Glad you like them!
How nice of you…
Nice video. We saw the house we stayed in as well on our lifestyle visit in Atwood. We'll see ya when we get there!!
We used google earth the property behind the fence on the way to Brownwood and just homes and land.
Love the golf cart rides!
We like be staying at the Alden Bungalows next week, can't wait!❤❤
We will have to check to see which pool is closest to us.
Thanks for the video.
Jerry you are like me .. I say hi to everyone and I actually get choked up
When Ithank first responders and veterans for their service .. they give every American the ultimate sacrifice of putting they’re lives on the line to create a sense of safety and protect us all 🇺🇸
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
we stayed at the Atwood two years ago at our first lifestyle visit, and we absolutely loved it. We plan on doing a second lifestyle visit next June and after that we’re getting real serious about moving down. See you when we get there.
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Another great video, superviewers here who stayed til the end! Enjoyed the ride keeping us familiar with the area until we return.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
We stayed at Atwood for our life style visit. The custard colored home across from the mail station. Great home with washer and dryer on the inside. Fall of 2026 we’ll be home owners. Great job Linda and Jerry.
See you when you get here!
Lovely video!!!!
Thanks for this tour. I didn’t realize that Antrim Dells was so huge. I have driven through the other two and I really like the Atwood Bungalows. 😀
Our pleasure!
We are staying in villas on Viola in Dunedin for most of June. All of your travels today is so familiar.
Thanks!
Holy cow, Patricia. Thank you so much. We really appreciate that.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video!
So loved seeing where we had our first LifeStyle Visit again. Our Bungalow lanai faced that lovely little pond and we enjoyed watching and hearing the birds. I think sitting out at breakfast the 2nd day is when Paul decided this was the place, because even though we could hear the train whistle 5 miles away, it was still so much more quiet than our home under a municipal airport flight path! 🙉 The bungalows have the washer and dryer inside (at least for the most part). No garage laundry for us. Rented a house that had them in garage...too hot.🥵 Whether you call them "golf cars" or "carts", we're sure glad we aren't the only ones making wrong turns😵💫! Just want to be able to correct before any mishaps 😵 I think this is the first time we have completely disagreed with you on an issue: NO construction workers in the neighborhood pool rest rooms. There is a grocery store and restaurants and gas station very nearby that they can use. You obviously have not had to use the facility or clean them after one of these workers has emptied their bowels and/or trashed the placed with muddy shoes. 😱 Yes, the Brownwood Sales Office is beautiful with the most wonderful Lobby Christmas tree.🌲 We enjoy Bluefin 🐟and practically all of the Square eating establishments.❤💌💙
Thanks for the ride!
You bet!
Jerry you make me laugh so hard. You would make a great ambassador for Florida.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Love love love these golfcart neighborhood tours. Maybe the homes with the cute names like the Sky View cottage, are the lifestyle villas and the ones with signs that say Betty and Barney Rubble are the residences that people live in?
Great video guys thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@JERRYANDLINDA You are welcome, always enjoy watching your videos!
I can see you both doing that hitting all the states in an RV. We did one trip in an 35 ft RV, the Mighty Five, it was a lot of fun.
Another great video you two. We stayed in the place on our Life Style visit at the video mark 36:45. Loved the place and location.
Thank you!
We stayed in Atwood for our Lifestyle visit. They are very nice and the washer and dryer are inside. The garages are front load which gives you more room.
We stayed at Alden bungalows for our lifestyle visit early May this year. We stayed at a Winslow c and had a great time
Pretty drive.
@ 2:16 'signal's on'. a lost art. Nice work, Jerry. Stay safe. :)
Thanks 👍
just blew through that stop sign by the wood shop😊
Good morning luv your videos.
Thanks so much!
Good morning Jerry , Linda , Gizmo and happy Thursday. Oooo. Cart ride. Omg jerry. You hold it for 7 days? Such jokes. 😂😂😂. If some ppl don’t like the workers using the bathroom ; maybe the villages could have employee exterior restrooms with a key, fob or numerical access just for them. Could see their concern. They might be sweaty and dirty depending on the kind of work they are doing but they must relieve themselves too. Some of these carts are flying past and around uou. Oh. No sidewalks in this 1st neighborhood/small front yards/Washer dryer in the garage not desirable but lovely neighborhood indeed. This is what I admire about Florida; clean well maintained neighborhoods older or newer. I frequented Tampa, Clermont, Bradenton, Sarasota, Largo, Port St Lucie, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood and never saw an undesirable neighborhood. Well let me continue watching and enjoying cause I’ll be typing forever 😂. Thanks so much. Love cart rides. Have a wonderful weekend and see you mailbag Monday. 🤗
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Great show from a superviewer! 🥰
😁😁😁😁😁
Hi Jerry & Linda!
I am still looking for a courtyard, villa kind of waiting for the prices to come down a little bit but the courtyard villa is perfect for me and my dogs. This was a wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to meet both of you someday.
Respectfully,
JimmyUSAF 🇺🇸✈️❤️🤍💙
I loved seeing how Brownwood turned out . I saw it when it was just being built.
We are started to take down the Washington Palms in my community. My friend who is a FL native and in charge of the landscaping committee said that they are ugly bc all you see is a skinny trunk .
I might have said this bc , but after reading A Land Forgotten , l can appreciate and understand why Brownwood was built as a history of the FL ranchers/Crackers .
That is a huge community
I enjoy watching your videos although we won't ever live in the Villages I'm sure. All our kids and grandkids are in one place here in AL, so AL: frogs haha. But ya'll are a nice couple I I know many appreciate the information you share. God Bless and take care.
Thanks, Jim!
Anyone who spots the famous Gizmo should win a prize!
Our Bush family GSDs are fans of Gizmo! Hahaha
Gizmo is a golf cart stopper!! Thanks for the ride
You bet!
Another relaxing golf cart ride-a-long. And pretty sure it's a golf cart, not car.
You dissed Gizmo in your video! Great show as usual.
Great ride today! Next time could you tell us some of the roads your turning on? Thanks Jerry and Linda and Gizmo!
We stayed at Alden for our Lifestyle visit. The house was beautiful. Fully tiled and solid surface counters. It was a 3 minute cart ride to Brownwood. Loved it.
