Newcomers to The Villages, Florida in December of 2018, Jerry and Linda guide viewers through their experiences in the wonderful retirement community.

Covering such topics as health care, amenities, golf, landscaping, home buying and more, they detail their adventures as new home owners.

Is it too hot? How is the health care system there? Is it a good place for singles? How expensive is it to live there? Is there a danger from hurricanes?

The Villages is truly a premier 55 plus community located in Central Florida.

Linda is back in the kitchen—and she’s having fun, so you should too! 🍞🧈 If you love cooking gadgets that actually work and make everyday life easier, this one’s for you. In today’s video, Linda shares one of her favorite little kitchen inventions: the butter bell. This clever countertop solution keeps butter soft, fresh, and spreadable for days—no more tearing up toast or waiting for butter to warm up. With a butter bell, you can spread butter quickly, evenly, and smoothly on toast, bagels, and just about anything else that tastes better with butter.
