If you have ever driven south on Morse Boulevard just south of Lake Sumter Landing and looked to your left you have seen Mallory Hill Country Club.  This is another great place to grab lunch, stop by for a beverage or come for an evening meal.  Over the years I have met plenty of clients that wan...

I see different numbers being posted about the number of pools in The Villages, Florida.  I decided to go straight to their website and check for myself.  Before I start let me explain we have four different types of pools here, Family, Adult, Sports, and Country Club which are the membership poo...

I am asked does it make sense to replace the single pane windows here in The Villages, Florida.  People think only cold weather homes need double pane windows, oh no we have seen the difference.  As we were replacing windows if you stood inside at a single pane then stand inside a double pane you...

My son and his family were in town and like his dad enjoys a beer now and then.  He is more into different types of beer so took him to World of Beers in Brownwood.  We only had a short amount of time so he had to make smart selections, he does want to go back on his next trip here.  This from th...
