I had the pleasure of eating with my Villages’
family the other night. As we finished
dinner we sat around and solved the world’s problems and you know there is a
lot to do in the regard for sure these days.
As we sat there my adopted sister told me about
someone she had met on the pickleball court whose children had bought their third
house in the villages!!! They bought their
first house a rental in their thirties. Then
up graded and upgraded again. They come
on breaks with the grandkids and holiday to visits their parents. Think about that for a minute.
Later, as I was getting ready for bed I started
thinking about life in a dream world. I
reflected back to when I was so happy in Memphis. Eating every night with family enjoy their children
watching them grow and learn. How cool
would it be if that journey continued?
How cool would it be if my adopted sister’s children started buying
houses down here? I started thinking
about watching these five young children visiting often. I could relive one of the most treasured
times of my life.
Watching Jax Ellis grow and learn golf and then
surpass us all in the game.
Watching Baby Jade steal the hearts of all she meets
on the squares and learning to Dance with DeDe and Poppy.
Watching Eden as her personally is transformed by
being around all of us old folks, her laughing and learning to enjoy cooking
with us and making great meals for us and her cousins.
Watching Carrigan learn to drive and work on his and
our cars. Watching him be the dare devil
and jump off anything into the pool.
Learning archery and how to drive the remote controlled cars and just
having a blast.
Watching Thomas Keller taking his place in the group
as he grows, learning the Art of the Deal to use his skills learned from his
Poppy who wrote the book on that! Also
he might be the Pickleball King as DeDe always would need a younger mixed
doubles partner.
Can you only imagine? Dreamworld? Absolutely,
Well we never know what the future holds for any of
us, but this little day dream would be a cool thing in my book. I love these people and wish all of them
nothing but the best. However, they need
to realize that the best really is in Florida Friendliest Home Town! The
Villages!!
Think I will start looking for investment property
for them to buy!
Hopefully, closer to me
than DeDe!!!!!
Peace,
The Blessed Man
