The Nolen's golf car...

...decked out for Christmas.

You may remember a previous photo of this particular golf car when it was decked out for Halloween.  The Nolens do know how to celebrate!

Our thanks to Kathy Nolen for this photo.

Brownwood - another look

We are reopening this blog to insert a few favorite photos from time to time.

This is a series of pictures taken a couple of months ago just after the Grand Opening of the new hometown of Brownwood. 

The first gives you an idea of the main street, and the second features the iconic multitude of golf cars so representative of life in The Villages.

The third photo shows the interior of a "gift" shop but is focused on some beautiful and expensive women's cowgirl boots!

And finally, what would a hometown be without a bank? 

There are now three "hometowns" in The Villages:  Spanish Springs (the original), Lake Sumter Landing, and Brownwood.  Each is distinctive yet retains the special atmosphere so familiar to The Villages.

Young people enjoying Spanish Springs

Because The Villages is a 55+ community, I'd assume these are grandchildren visiting their grandparents and enjoying the beauty and natural amenities of the Spanish Springs area.

Crash - into the dock

Here's another view of this infamous crash and the sinking of a sailboat.

Smart car in Lake Sumter Landing

There are a few Smart cars in The Villages. Fortunately, they are not allowed on the golf cart trails. I say "fortunately" because there are thousands of golf carts in The Villages and many of them are very fast and tend to take over whatever road they're on. A Smart car wouldn't have a chance! :-)
