Your obscure references are the best. This weeks, Phyllis Diller. As luck would have it I have a Phyllis Diller story. 1984, while on liberty (USMC) in Hollywood, walking up Hollywood Boulevard, limo pulls up, back window rolls down, people arguing in back seat area, Phyllis Diller leans out, far out arm extended with a bottle of something, she loudly says, "Here, giving this away, take it!" My buddy grabs the bottle, she returns to arguing, window rolls up as limo drives off. She gave us an almost full bottle of Jim Beam. We don't know why. Man - I wish we had kept that bottle.
I went to Jackie Evancho concert on March 25ft, OMG this beautiful young woman is beyond amazing. I had a front rollseat in Orchestra pit. Sometimes she was 4ft away. Her voice has help me deal with the loss of my wife in 2010.
When it comes to catching snakes, ESPECIALLY if they are in your home, the easiest and best thing to use is one of those Gopher grabber tools, grab it by the head with that, it stays 3-4 feet away from you, and you can drag it and put it where you need to go.
I bought a removable dog door for the slider to my lanai for my dog. It's easy to pop in in the morning and take down at night so that the slider locks. It locks cost about $170 at Lowes. My little guy loves it. Since it's not permanent, I don't need to worry about it affecting future buyers of my home. Great investment.
You guys are so great together. And Linda, your smile is beautiful!. And I love how Jerry is always so polite, complementary, and a gentleman with you. Makes my heart happy! Bless you both!
I watch every week. You helped us so much with our move etc. We moved to the Villages in the middle of November. We just love it!! You are the nicest couple!! Thanks for all your help and continued help❤️😎🤗
I always enjoy watching y’all every week! Congratulations Linda on your hole in one!! Hubby and I did our 2nd lifestyle package last week and we bought a house in The Village of Hammock at Fenney. Loved seeing some neighbors on today’s show. We close April 26th and move in on the 27th. See ya when we get there!! 💕
Hi guys, last year I had my roof replaced at a cost of approximately $480 per square (100 sq ft).That was for architectural grade shingles. Remember when estimating, the roof will be significantly more square footage than the house, factoring in roof pitch and overhangs. Metal roofs are more. Great show today!
Happy Monday! Great video, and how fun to host a cruise, can't wait to see those videos!! God bless you guys and have a great week! ps...enjoy babysitting!!!
Great show. You two are quite the celebrities. My insurance company required me to replace my roof under threat of cancellation. They did give me 2 years to do it, which would be up this coming fall 2022. I replaced my roof last August. I bought a 30 year shingle. I was going to finance it, but decided I didn’t want to and just paid cash. You’re correct. They are not cheap.
Roofs in South Florida can cost $40k. Hurricane requirements. But they may be warranted for 30-40 years. A well cared for (maintained) roof can last 30-40 years. Most people IMO do not bother to properly maintain their roofs.
I love today’s video. I could certainly see that Jerry was an excellent teacher. He seem to be in teacher mode today. I am glad that you’re enjoying your village life. I really love your T-shirts but I don’t like wearing T-shirts for some reason. I’ve just never been a fan of T-shirts. I will wear a Bellamy Brothers T-shirt sometimes when I go to their concert.
Gizmo, you're just too cute and too funny. Must've inherited it from your owners! Hi Jerry & Linda, we love going on a cruise; we used to go every year. I wish we could join your cruise in July.
As always I love your Monday videos. Thank you for the diverse content. I didn't like the footage on the snake but thankfully I you didn't show it. I'm deathly afraid of them lol. have a great week!
Always informative, I learn something new every time I watch the show and not just about the villages but about a variety of things! You both are a joy to watch!
Great show! Lots of info once again! Gizmo’s jokes are outstanding! Good delivery Gizmo. So many nice shout outs. Have a fabulous time at Lakeland Air Show. God Bless America 🇺🇸.
We just purchased a home outside of Tampa last week. Original roof on a 22 year old home. We DID get insurance despite the age of the roof. There was no way we could afford a new roof with all the $$$ it was costing to purchase the home. You have to shop around and understand that there are 3 things the insurer looks at: age of roof, age of hot water heater and age of HVAC. Becuase the hot water heater and HVAC were new (1 year and 3 years, respectively), they approved our policy. Yes, you will pay a tad more for the insurance but it will go DOWN once the roof is replaced. Regarding cost: 2650 square feet with new hurricane clips (now required; they weren't during a specific time of home building so our house doesn't have them).....$34,000. That was the average of 5 estimates. We have a year to relace it and no doubt the cost will go UP by the time we do it. Last, do NOT invest in any roofing material that is "top of the line" or a long warranty as it's a waste of money. ALso, you'll have to remove your solar panels (if you have them) every time the roof comes off and check into THAT cost for removal and re-installment. HTH some. :)
@@JERRYANDLINDA I'd recommend getting at least 3 roofing estimates before deciding on a roofing company. I got a new roof on my house in FL panhandle in December, and the bill for the Owens Corning architectural shingles with installation ran $11,700 for my house of 2,120 square feet with attached garage. Unfortunately, I also needed lots of rotten wood replaced under it, so that ran up the total bill a lot over the cost of shingles. (And I also got a letter from State Farm about having to replace my roof or have my insurance not renew, but I had planned to do it anyway.) Total cost for me ended up at about $16,500.
What’s the mean gain of the solar panels if your in time of needing to replace your roof and it costs 5,000$ in maintenance-on and off roof- for the panels? We are northern Illinois homeowners with 2500 sq foot 2 story home ( w full basement) Gambrel style cedar shake roof; which we have maintained- cleaned stained,replaced worn with new shakes. They are stated to last 32-50 years and we are on the 35 year and if need be will replace with non-wood shingles. Anyone out there in similar situation? Thankyou Jerry Linda for these “nuts and bolts” shows and your inspiration to enjoy our sunset years🌅🐠🌺🌴💕
Not all retirement communities are created equal. Something you may want to share with your viewers who might be afraid to move to the Villages because they don’t know anyone in Florida. My wife and I retired from Massachusetts to a North Texas retirement community. We moved there not knowing a single soul in Texas. As much as it was a challenge it was the greatest experience in our 40+ years of marriage. We found the key to our great quality of life there was the diversity of our neighbors who many became our friends. Like Florida, North Texas is made up of many transplants from all over the USA and people who are on their own usually need other people. We made more friends in the 2+ years in Texas than we made in our whole married life in Massachusetts. Due to circumstances (story is too long to get into) we ended leaving Texas for Pennsylvania. Same story as Texas as we moved into a retirement community not knowing a single soul in Pennsylvania. We have been here going on 4 years now, and have made very few friends - sometimes we feel as though we’re intruders. 99% of the population who live in our retirement community have lived in this part of Pennsylvania all their lives. When we watch your vlogs it sometimes reminds us of being the happy newcomers ourselves when we had moved to Texas. Bottom line… to move away from home if it’s somewhere like the Villages or any retirement community where the people have moved in from everywhere, just might be the best decision of your life. Wishing you all the best, John from Lancaster County Pennsylvania
John, you are exactly right. We feel like we're in the same boat with our neighbors down here. Everybody we know has come here from other States. We have friends from Pennsylvania, from Minnesota, from Wisconsin, from Illinois, from Kansas, and the list goes on.
Great mailbag today! ❤️💌 Thanks for the update on Rick! So good to hear his spirits were lifted. I’ll be sending some Easter greetings his way. Have an amazing week! Best! ☀️
The Villages actually had POLO horse property- the lots up in The Village of Chatham - each home lot is just over 5 acres- some still available- $559,000 just for the lot. They recently had two homes go on the market for 1.8 MILLION and 2.4 MILLION
Installing a regular plastic/wood doggie door in the passage door or wall between the garage and the living area does violate fire code. Fire rated doggie doors are available for that application. Also any type of ceiling or wall mounted ventilation fan that removes hot air from the garage and puts it in the attic must also be fire rated. And the reason replacing the roof shingles etc., is expensive in FL is because of Florida's wind code. The wind code is part of Florida's building code and is designed to make homes stronger and more resistant to the damaging winds from hurricanes and other storms. The wind code requires a permit for roofing replacement, installation by a licensed roofing contractor, inspections and the use of approved products, fasteners and shingles wind rated for the county you live in. All of that adds up cost wise, but the net result is fewer loses from roof damage and water intrusion.
Florida does have coral snakes. Lol i remember back in the 90's living in NE Fl., my husband stopped for one of his employees to "go in the bushes" so to speak. Next stop , they went to ER because the guy got bit by a coral snake, right off A1A. Lol.
Up in Chatham there are homes and lots for horse owners. You can have a barn built and keep them. 4 lots are built on and 3 lots are still for sale. Chatham Acres I believe it is called.
I thought there were more but there is a post office you can get to by golf cart. It is over the bridge at Spanish Springs, take a right at the end of the bridge.
Linda, you had me laughing when you said Jerry would bring a ladle to the next chili cook off and when you said maybe you would wear an "accidental liar" sign on your hat. Always very interesting info you and Jerry share with us. Have a great week!
They feel like TV stars to me in California too. The way TV use to be in the 70s or 80s, value added, relaxing and entertaining. Not like todays TV, shocking and so called “reality” based. 😁
Linda, I’ve been watching y’all from the beginning. I must say, you have become so much more comfortable on this site. Jerry, you are so professional. I look forward to this every Monday.
In our CYV we have 2 sliding doors going to our lanai. I went to Lowes and got a12 inch doggy door insert for one of the doors. I put a shower rod in for permanent closure. We have a small dog and she go and come anytime she needs to.
Also you may need permission from the town/county if you want to build outward, like a lanai, extra room or golf cart garage. Orange Blossom and Glenview CCs have a hot tube both are priority. I have a friend who was golfing and some lady asked him out of the blue to remove a snake skin from her yard, she was afraid of the skin! I found a complete 5' skin and brought it to our driveway party for show and tell. The roofing issue is scary so don't buy a 30 year roof buy the cheapest. I would accept an inspection every 10 years or so instead, that seems fair. My neighbor just bought a house and the insurance company wouldn't insure because her HOT WATER HEATER was old!!! It was working fine and was 20 years old! What will be next? Congrats on the whole in one YAY! I am happy if I get a par!
It would be a shame if you bought one of those custom metal roofs that last 50 years and they made you get rid of it after 10 year. There are some metal roofs up in the Spanish Springs area.
I prefer having the questions on screen -- if a particular question is not of interest then it's easy to scroll to the next question. Or add "chapter" listings in the description for each question...
Hi guys. I know of at least one post office inside the Villages. It’s where our mailbox station is and it has a small office for pretty much all USPS services. Accessible by golf cart and located in the Silver Lake area at: 4 Lagrande Blvd, Lady Lake, FL 32159. Saludos from up north here in Silver Lake !!! 😃📫
You three make Mondays so much fun!! I had friends that moved down to The Villages back in 2003. They fell in Love with The Villages. I know that this is going to sound like a crazy questions but here it goes; 1) Do you have to be retired to live in The Villages? I will be 63 next March and my daughter will.be getting ready to graduate. Can she live with me in The Villages as a College Student? Thank you guys so much for your positive attitude and Linda you have The Best Smile, it is infectious!!! Stay Well & Happy! Friends from.Cincinnati. ☺️🙏🌹
You do not have to be retired to live here in TV. There are a lot of people still working that have moved here. Then you have The Villages workers like on the golf courses, gates, etc. Several work at the grocery stores. Yes if she's over 19 she is welcome to live here. I lived in Cincinati for 5 years off Reading road. I know you will be glad to leave there for The Villages.
@@daledivine4625 Thank you so much Dale. I just love Linda & Jerry's Videos. I am a scuba diver and love the Manatee Springs, Crystal River area. I just feel like The Villages had so many great activities and lots of Happiness!
On thing I've always wondered, is if the villages permits dark paint colors on the exterior of homes? Those are quite trendy now, especially navy blue... my house is painted Black Forest Green, and I originally saw it in an upscale development 30 years ago in Kansas City (That color is usually used as a trim color) and fell in love with the entire house painted that color. The homeowner told me she had to fight for it with her HOA, though.
I wouldn't recommend dark colors in a hot humid climate like Florida. Your cooling costs would be quite a bit higher. There's a reason why houses in the South are painted white very often. I agree though the dark colors are nice.
@@timmer9696 That's why I think shade trees are very important down there (and most places). My house bieng that dark is great here in Missouri, because my house is surrounded with 75 foot oak trees, and they do the job in the summertime, and dark green absorbs heat in the winter making the house warmer.
@@mamaburr2963 That's too bad. They should allow residents more freedom in thier color choices. They certainly use all kinds of jellybean colors in Key West. But I wouldn't even advocate for that, someone might want a chocolate brown with contrasting trim, or something like that.
@@brockreynolds870 Key West is an entity of its own. I would not like to live in a community with jelly bean colors. If everyone had more freedom in their color choices, the community would look like a bag of M&M's. No thanks.
Looking to rent? Try………..Linda’s and Jerry’s Air B&B……. Coming soon??? There is a post office in The Orange Blossom/Lady Lake area just off 441 at La Grande and Avenida Central streets.
We received word yesterday that it is in the works. They are trying to arrange a bus both ways to the cruise and back home. Please watch here and on our Facebook page for more information. We look forward to meeting you.
I’m 51 and I just closed on a new house in St.John. The realtor said you could buy before 55 if you had no children or children over 19 only. I’m not sure the truth in this as I never saw in writing, but only what I was told
1. Recipes are *NOT* carved in stone! 😉 2. Still jealous of Linda's ace! 🤩 3. I love cruises; I love the Bahamas (even in July!); I won't be Zuck'd 🤬 Have a super week everyone
Great show as always. I am looking for the address for your friend who could use some cheering up? Not seeing a drop down arrow. Just let me know and I will be happy to get his card in the mail. Thanks, Sue from Southern DE
Meet the doggie.....forget Linda and Jerry, LOL. I keep dog treats for all the dogs I run into in home and car. I ALWAYS greet the dog first.....then address the owners, LOL I joke with them about it. I love dogs and cats, and no longer have any. Life changes, ya know. :-(
When I saw the title to the video, I thought you were referring to the skin condition, not roofs 😂 If a dog can get through a doggy door, so can a med or small gator. Just say NO to doggy doors.
About insurance and not insuring a roof. It’s probably biggest outlay for insurance so how nice if they can avoid it. I doubt that a new roof saves them much. Are they going to refuse replacing rafters, bracing, etc., these are not replaced in a roof replacement. Usually only underlayment (felt) and shingles are replaced when a roof is renewed. So the insurance argument is BS.
I am handicpped confined ro a whelchair 24-7. Do they hsve lifts in the pools and someone to help you in and out. Scared to try it without help. I think i coud exercise my affected limbs in a pool
Maybe it is for an independent lifestyle. But your life can change at a blink of an eye or while you are sleeping. An attendant would be a plus for all the handicap or soon to be handicap in The Villages. Think about that. We do not want to be helpless but many of us are
Is there a published summary of general rules and HOA guidelines that cover the entire area? I'm sure each village/district has variations but it seems like it would be beneficial to have a general guideline in English (not lawyers talk) for newbies.
There are some in the northern section of TV. Some of those are really nice custom roofs. Not sure how the insurance companies consider the life span on those. Some are guaranteed for 50 years.

Can't see the benefit of having 30 year shingles if they have to be replaced every 10 or 15 years. Buy the cheaper ones.
@@daledivine4625 .. my thoughts exactly, I can see maybe a 20 yr rule but 10 seems awfully short for a roof

They feel like TV stars to me in California too. The way TV use to be in the 70s or 80s, value added, relaxing and entertaining. Not like todays TV, shocking and so called “reality” based. 😁
See you when you get here!
@@JERRYANDLINDA That WOULD make our vacation! 👍
Thank you! Oh and Jerry, I don't get shots either. :-)
Linda, I’ve been watching y’all from the beginning. I must say, you have become so much more comfortable on this site. Jerry, you are so professional. I look forward to this every Monday.
Thank you Liz, so very nice of you to say. I am very proud of Linda because she was super shy. She is definitely coming out of her shell.
Good morning
It's Monday
😂😂😂😂😂
I went on 2 life style visits they do allow it however you don’t get the package part of it. No free golf or meals Etc.
South of 44, I use the Coleman Post office, just limited hours
Good morning Jerry, Linda, and Gizmo!!! Great show as usual!
A doggie-door can also allow unwanted creators access to your home.
In our CYV we have 2 sliding doors going to our lanai. I went to Lowes and got a12 inch doggy door insert for one of the doors. I put a shower rod in for permanent closure.
We have a small dog and she go and come anytime she needs to.
Also you may need permission from the town/county if you want to build outward, like a lanai, extra room or golf cart garage. Orange Blossom and Glenview CCs have a hot tube both are priority. I have a friend who was golfing and some lady asked him out of the blue to remove a snake skin from her yard, she was afraid of the skin! I found a complete 5' skin and brought it to our driveway party for show and tell. The roofing issue is scary so don't buy a 30 year roof buy the cheapest. I would accept an inspection every 10 years or so instead, that seems fair. My neighbor just bought a house and the insurance company wouldn't insure because her HOT WATER HEATER was old!!! It was working fine and was 20 years old! What will be next? Congrats on the whole in one YAY! I am happy if I get a par!
It would be a shame if you bought one of those custom metal roofs that last 50 years and they made you get rid of it after 10 year.
There are some metal roofs up in the Spanish Springs area.
Congrats Linda! ⭐️🏌🏻♀️⛳️
I prefer having the questions on screen -- if a particular question is not of interest then it's easy to scroll to the next question. Or add "chapter" listings in the description for each question...
Thank you!
Hi guys. I know of at least one post office inside the Villages. It’s where our mailbox station is and it has a small office for pretty much all USPS services. Accessible by golf cart and located in the Silver Lake area at: 4 Lagrande Blvd, Lady Lake, FL 32159. Saludos from up north here in Silver Lake !!! 😃📫
You three make Mondays so much fun!! I had friends that moved down to The Villages back in 2003. They fell in Love with The Villages. I know that this is going to sound like a crazy questions but here it goes; 1) Do you have to be retired to live in The Villages? I will be 63 next March and my daughter will.be getting ready to graduate. Can she live with me in The Villages as a College Student? Thank you guys so much for your positive attitude and Linda you have The Best Smile, it is infectious!!! Stay Well & Happy! Friends from.Cincinnati. ☺️🙏🌹
It depends on her age if she is 19 or above yes. If not, no.
We are a little North of you. See you down there in a few years!
You do not have to be retired to live here in TV. There are a lot of people still working that have moved here.
Then you have The Villages workers like on the golf courses, gates, etc. Several work at the grocery stores.
Yes if she's over 19 she is welcome to live here. I lived in Cincinati for 5 years off Reading road. I know you will be glad to leave there for The Villages.
@@daledivine4625 Thank you so much Dale. I just love Linda & Jerry's Videos. I am a scuba diver and love the Manatee Springs, Crystal River area. I just feel like The Villages had so many great activities and lots of Happiness!
@@daledivine4625 I can not imagine Sunshine and warmth!!
I took 2 lifestyles, the first for 7 days, the second for 28 days.
Congratulations Linda on your Hole In One.
For rentals go to Airbnb
Happy MBM! 😀
I love Gizmo ….. adorable
Would have loved to join you cruising however we are „finally“ getting to take our Alaska land/cruise vacation this year in June!!!!!
Great show!
@ 17:30 It's coming, Jerry. (UPDATE April 9th 2022: It arrived today, and I've authenticated the signature.)
😆😅🤣🤣🤣😅😆
On thing I've always wondered, is if the villages permits dark paint colors on the exterior of homes? Those are quite trendy now, especially navy blue... my house is painted Black Forest Green, and I originally saw it in an upscale development 30 years ago in Kansas City (That color is usually used as a trim color) and fell in love with the entire house painted that color. The homeowner told me she had to fight for it with her HOA, though.
I wouldn't recommend dark colors in a hot humid climate like Florida. Your cooling costs would be quite a bit higher. There's a reason why houses in the South are painted white very often. I agree though the dark colors are nice.
@@timmer9696 That's why I think shade trees are very important down there (and most places). My house bieng that dark is great here in Missouri, because my house is surrounded with 75 foot oak trees, and they do the job in the summertime, and dark green absorbs heat in the winter making the house warmer.
The answer is no...
@@mamaburr2963 That's too bad. They should allow residents more freedom in thier color choices. They certainly use all kinds of jellybean colors in Key West. But I wouldn't even advocate for that, someone might want a chocolate brown with contrasting trim, or something like that.
@@brockreynolds870 Key West is an entity of its own. I would not like to live in a community with jelly bean colors. If everyone had more freedom in their color choices, the community would look like a bag of M&M's. No thanks.
Looking to rent? Try………..Linda’s and Jerry’s Air B&B……. Coming soon??? There is a post office in The Orange Blossom/Lady Lake area just off 441 at La Grande and Avenida Central streets.
😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
That’s a tough one on the roof. 💵💰💵
What do you think about the old section where modular homes are? That's in my budget. 💰 I'm in Sun City Center now. 😎
The "manufactured" homes run about $200,000...
@@daledivine4625 craziness. I'm going to come look though
Thanks again! Good info as usual!
My husband teases me because he's 5 years older and gets to retire 4 years before me. He says he will come down and live and I can come when I can.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like the new color of the shirt
Great job as usual...
Will there be a bus leaving from the Villages for the cruise. We are seriously considering going!
We received word yesterday that it is in the works. They are trying to arrange a bus both ways to the cruise and back home. Please watch here and on our Facebook page for more information. We look forward to meeting you.
I’m 51 and I just closed on a new house in St.John. The realtor said you could buy before 55 if you had no children or children over 19 only. I’m not sure the truth in this as I never saw in writing, but only what I was told
That is correct. You can move here at 40 if you can buy a house and have no children under 19.
1. Recipes are *NOT* carved in stone! 😉
2. Still jealous of Linda's ace! 🤩
3. I love cruises; I love the Bahamas (even in July!); I won't be Zuck'd 🤬
Have a super week everyone
Another great show. Enjoying it while watching the snow fall here in northern Michigan!
I'm sorry.....(from a former Michigander, or is it Michiganian? That was not resolved when I left there in 2003).
I think I saw Rent from a Villager on facebook
Great video!
Great show as always. I am looking for the address for your friend who could use some cheering up? Not seeing a drop down arrow. Just let me know and I will be happy to get his card in the mail. Thanks, Sue from Southern DE
Thank you!

A cruise WA HOO! Maybe able to meet Gizmo after all. (I know) 😞
Meet the doggie.....forget Linda and Jerry, LOL. I keep dog treats for all the dogs I run into in home and car. I ALWAYS greet the dog first.....then address the owners, LOL I joke with them about it. I love dogs and cats, and no longer have any. Life changes, ya know. :-(
When I saw the title to the video, I thought you were referring to the skin condition, not roofs 😂
If a dog can get through a doggy door, so can a med or small gator. Just say NO to doggy doors.
Same here. We are old and pathetic.
Or any other critter. Also your pets can escape. 🤔
Love our doggy door. We live in a Court Yard Villa with a fence. No gators allowed in our yard.😂🤣😂🤣
About insurance and not insuring a roof. It’s probably biggest outlay for insurance so how nice if they can avoid it. I doubt that a new roof saves them much. Are they going to refuse replacing rafters, bracing, etc., these are not replaced in a roof replacement. Usually only underlayment (felt) and shingles are replaced when a roof is renewed. So the insurance argument is BS.
There are 42 executive courses and 13 country club some of those have 27 holes
Ten courses have 27 holes and three have 18 holes. Currently only Sarasota has the double holes. El Santiago only has the oversized holes.
I am handicpped confined ro a whelchair 24-7. Do they hsve lifts in the pools and someone to help you in and out. Scared to try it without help. I think i coud exercise my affected limbs in a pool
There are lifts…. but no attendant to help.
TV is geared for Independent Lifestyles, don't forget. Sounds like you don't have anyone who would be there for you.
Maybe it is for an independent lifestyle. But your life can change at a blink of an eye or while you are sleeping. An attendant would be a plus for all the handicap or soon to be handicap in The Villages. Think about that. We do not want to be helpless but many of us are
It would be nice come up but with 104 pools… and they are open maybe 12 or more hours a day, an attendant would be cost prohibitive i think.
I love having black snakes, they eat rodents, very helpful.
Is there a published summary of general rules and HOA guidelines that cover the entire area? I'm sure each village/district has variations but it seems like it would be beneficial to have a general guideline in English (not lawyers talk) for newbies.
They are all available online. villages.gov
We have NO HOA here in TV. Mostly governed by an ARC.
I have a short video regarding the Thunderbirds and my model train layout. If you are interested let me know.
Yes, they are awesome. There's really no way to attach any types of video here, But thank you so much for the offer.
Coral snakes live in palm trees
Wutchu talking bout?
Scary
Have you considered a metal roof ?
There are some in the northern section of TV. Some of those are really nice custom roofs. Not sure how the insurance companies consider the life span on those.
Some are guaranteed for 50 years.
Shocker , Linda likes snakes.
Well, she does not like them. She tolerates them.
Jerry, you should not wear orange. Your face is hard to see. Blue, green and black are your best colors. Love your show. Watching in Virginia.
I like it - FLORIDA ORANGEJUICE...😜. He talked about the Orange Blossom pool also. The variety of colors with their shirts is fun to see.
And Orange Blossom Opry🤩
Don't' believe Jerr/Bear/. You look great.
Moved here from Hampton Roads area of Virginia 8 years ago and have not regretted it one minute.
Wow, another awesome picture Jerry, of that crane! Those cranes will rid your yard of the grubs, and other pests! Lol 😂
