Hot Springs Village?

[days_unfolding]

I read an article about where to retire if you don’t have savings, which isn’t me, but I’d like to save money, and it listed Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. It’s a very pretty area, and I saw some nice townhomes for sale. Hmm. No health care nearby though, but there is in Hot Springs and Little Rock, and you can hire a car to get there and to go to the airport. It’s a 55+ community with a pool and clubs and other amenities. And a bunch of lakes. There’s a townhouse with a deck overlooking a stream in the forest. If I was free, I’d grab it.

From the web:

Hot Springs Village spans 26,000 acres of the Ouachita Mountain foothills. The largest private, gated community in North America boasts amenities for both adventure and leisure including pickle ball courts, tennis center, and 9 year-round, championship golf courses. Lake-life is also delightful with 11 lakes and 2 beaches for swimming, boating, skiing, kayaking, and relaxing! The Coronado Fitness Center, spa, indoor pool, and 30 miles of scenic hiking and biking nature trails are other HSV “hot” spots. Multiple dining, churches, and over 200 active organizations are perfect for social opportunities. The HSV Police, Fire, and EMT Departments along with two manned security gates provide residents peace of mind! HSV is centrally located and only a 20 minute drive to historic Hot Springs, an hour to Little Rock, and a day trip to many surrounding parks and attractions! Hot Springs Village offers a large variety of home styles. New construction and custom designed home packages are also available– all including your choice of lake or golf front, mountain view, or just nestled in the woods. Come enjoy the affordable HSV good life; the longer you stay, the more you’re going to love us!

Woke up a little after 7 AM. Oliver is dozing on my lap. It’s 30F/-1C out and the crazy dogs don’t want to come in. Gracie finally came in at 11. Bella wanted to stay out, but I grabbed her collar, and she came in.

Looked into golfing lessons, and damn, they are expensive. I found a set of petite women’s golf clubs on Facebook Marketplace. I’ve wanted to learn golf for a long time. I need to find a partner for pickleball lessons too.

Udemy has a bunch of courses that interest me (including pickleball and golf). I need to subscribe to it and take a bunch of courses.

I signed up for the book sale for Books for Prisoners.

Lily is in the cat bed on my desk.

My hands are twinging and I’m getting a headache. Oh, the joys of computer use/getting older/??? I’m not going to make it to choir. I’m feeling really shaky.

Couldn’t sleep. I think that I’ll get up and get ready for bed soon. I should be able to sleep with the lights out.

The dogs are outside. Submitted a grocery order. I’ll watch The Pitt and get the dogs in and get ready for bed.

Don’t they have a lot of tornadoes in Arkansas though?

That's what I thought, but did some research, and tornadoes like flat land. The Village is in the foothills of some mountains. The only part of Arkansas that had a bad tornado was on the side near Oklahoma, which does get a ton of tornadoes.
