Iam good on that no thanks
Ok thank you and best wishes!
Trump just lost the Villages support. No one wants a dictator. Even Republicans.
Ok thank you and best wishes to you.
If I buy a home in Orange Blossom Trail, can I purchase a pool pass?
Hi Denise! I’m sure you can. I think any Villager should be able to!
Can't wait for the Christmas Train Show--> czcams.com/video/ATEAqIsRzWE/video.htmlsi=DZaYT1f8cPfr5tR9
I like embassy suites
Yeah, not a bad place :)
@@GracejoyTV Yeah i used go to embassy suites at laredo texas
We arrive next Wednesday, and that is one of the first things we do when we get to the resort is hop on the skyliner. Has happened several times, especially go to and from Hollywood Studios.
Wow, that's exciting that you're visiting soon again! What's your favorite resort?
@@GracejoyTV with there being 6 of us, we need plenty of room, so we stay in the Finding Nemo Suites at Art of Animation. Great property and easy access to the Skyliner. Also they are centrally located on that property.
can I come to your garden
Sure. Lol
Ugh. My stepdad and his girlfriend live there and it may look pretty on the outside, but it's got a reputation for being the STD capital of the U.S. During the pandemic they held large dance parties every single weekend with hundreds attending and nobody bothered wearing masks because they all denied COVID was real. My stepdad and his girlfriend were part of the stupidity and he ended up in the hospital with COVID.
Yes there are many rumors about The Villages. Sorry to hear that your stepdad got Covid and was in the hospital. I hope he is better now :) Best to you and your family!
I agree!! 🌺
That's so beautiful!
It really is!
How nice, we'll have to check it out the next time we are in the area.
Yes or at least once! I think the vibes and the views alone are worth it :)

I still want these even in 2024..
Aww, they're very cool :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing.❤😊🏡🏠
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for sharing.😊
You're welcome! Thank you for watching my video!
Love seeing all the topiaries. I subscribed. I want to visit Walt Disney World someday. 🙏🏻💵 I watched one of your videos of The Villages in Florida. Looks like a beautiful and fun place to live and play. 😊
Hi! So happy you found my channels. And yes, the topiaries at Disney always captures me! Do you have any topiaries of your own? Thankful we get to live in The Villages!
@@GracejoyTV No topiaries. I live in Collierville,Tennessee. I have never been to Florida or WDW. They are on my bucket list.
@@ALittleBitofEverything54 come down sooner rather than later!
We love to watch our family vlogs! Here's the rest---> czcams.com/play/PL-r1gst7DALHxrPhBvA4-mlXe7bmFC9kE.html&si=QD15mTLhjrBoudLP
May I ask if out of the other options did you find this to be the best in the flamingo crossing area?
I think because this Fairfield Inn & Suites has a very competitive hotel pricing with all the amenities they offer.

We love going to Tarpon Springs and Hellas to eat. Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉
It was my first time going in May. Would love to go again when it's a bit cooler. Happy 4th Kathy and good to hear from you!
🎉😮
MY TOYS 😮😍😱
Thank you :)
I like rainy days. In fact it just rained here in MT on the Rez. The smell after is fantastic.
Except in Florida, it rains then the sun comes out back and forth 🤣 Where is MT on the Rez?
P.O.G. juice is the Best! Passion fruit, Orange, and Guava!
Our latest visit was 06.23.2024.
Same here…in Montana for breakfast. I didn’t notice any changes.
I thought all amenities were included when a resident of the Villages?
Most amenities are. This pool at Orange Blossom is a country club so there's a membership fee for that.
Orlando has GOT to be the best of both worlds… U can grow pretty much all of the tropical fruits we grow here in Miami, w/o the sweltering heat, and y’all get hydrangeas?!?! Yall are like the step child of Florida.. not blood related so… rather than getting humid cesspool swamp… u get the cool tropical stuff we can AND the pretty flowers 😭
Thanks for the compliment but Orlando is Still Florida so yes to the sweltering heat. And hydrangeas? I haven't seen many at all around Orlando.
happy new year!!! looks like you had a lot of fun and excitement for 2015!
Thanks! Yes we sure have some amazing memories with our church friends.
Foxtail is the same price as Starbucks, for a smaller serving. Pass for me.
I get ya. I like the coffee drinks from both places but Starbucks has more rewards/incentives since it’s a National brand compared to Foxtail Coffee which is a local company 😊
I’m finding tapey are you
Not sure what you’re trying to say 😕
I don’t live in Florida but I got to st Augustine every year I’ve gone about five times and there is always new things to enjoy I loveee St. George street and can’t wait to go back!!
That's awesome! Which month do you like to visit St. Augustine? We try to go when the weather is cooler.
@@GracejoyTV we usually go early June so that it’s not to hot but we had to push it toward the end of June
I live in Crystal River. Great place for viewing manatees, bird watching, fishing, scalloping or visiting the many state parks. Plenty of restaurants in Crystal River or nearby homosassa. Charlies seafood is now bayside craft kitchen.
That's awesome that you live in Crystal River! We're only 1 hour from you :) Yes, lots to do. We need to go back to try Bayside Craft Kitchen. Is it same owner? Have you tried it?
@@GracejoyTV haven't tried it yet. My neighbors liked it. It is a different owner.
Beautiful
Aww, thanks!
Were you ever a fan of the Attractionistas? I thought they were cool, but curious what you thought! :)
No, but they look pretty cool! Looks like something I would've enjoyed collecting! Do you have any of it?
Your yellow roses maybe called Arctic Yellow Rose I have this!Beutiful
Wow! That's amazing! I think you're the first person to try to identify that rose; Arctic Yellow Rose! Thank you for that :)
I know this video is a couple years old hope you’re well but the construction will never end no matter what. Every acre of trees and wild orange groves will be chopped down and paved over till there’s none left. I’ve lived here in central Florida all my life and agree with your list but the daily intense rain and thunderstorms through June-September is something transplants should be aware about lol
Thank you for your thoughts and for finding my 2 year old video! Lol. I hope they don't chop down EVERY acre of trees. And yes, June 1st starts Hurricane Season which comes every year.
Road construction? You should live in Michigan. lol only kidding. It looks like fun to me.
Lol. Would love to visit Michigan one day! Glad you found my video!
What a misleading video. We moved here and knew it wasn’t gated, thus no HOA fees. The gates a a deterrent for traffics and shady people coming through. Construction on 27/441, duh, many, many areas are upgrading infrastructure to alleviate the congestion. Also, as a community there is expansion, thus the new housing construction. My wife and I have been here five weeks and did our research beforehand. We knew of the things you don’t dislike in your videos, but stilled moved. Absolutely, no regrets.
Hi! It’s been awhile since you posted. I hope all is well ❤
Thank you for checking on me! Everything is fine. Just switched my focus off CZcams for a little bit. Also, end of the school year is super busy and tiring but summer break is about to start so I should be posting again! How are things with you?
@@GracejoyTV Hi! I thought I replied but I guess I didn’t. 😂 this heat is getting to me. I’m fine as well. Thanks for asking!
I couldn't watch because of the dumb music.
Sorry to hear. There are tons other videos about The Villages that I am sure you will find for your viewing pleasure :) Best wishes to you!
Please tell me the name of the yellow rose and what is at the beginning of the video. Thank you very much.
The larger yellow roses are 'Peace Rose' but the other ones, we're not sure the name because they were already there when we bought the house.
Please tell me the name of the yellow rose and what is at the beginning of the video. Thank you very much.
Hi, we're not 100% sure the name of the yellow rose we had at the front of the house. They were already there when we bought the house. We did add a couple of 'Peace Rose' bushes and those are yellow :) Hope that helps.
Здравствуйте,подскажите пожалуйста название жёлтой розы.Очень красивая
hahaha
❤❤❤🕯️🌻🌠❤️🎉
Thanks! Have you tried this before?
🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿& 🚴🏿🚴🏿🚴🏿🚴🏿🚩

Creo que es caro a nivel nacional. Nos gusta aquí. ¡Cerca de nuestra familia y amigos en Orlando!
Hi. Is there a filipino community in the villages?
Yes, there is a Filipino American Club. They meet at one of the recreation centers. Thanks for asking!
It is temporarily closed now with new owners.
Oh I thought they re-opened newly renovated with new owners. Would love check it out when we're at Crystal River again!
