Life During COVID in a Planned Community

And, it looks different for everyone and changes daily. Some cities and beaches looked like it was spring break" when they reopened. Some grocery stores require a mask for entry; some do not. Restaurants have reopened, but it's a different experience than before. We've learned to social distance (well, at least some of us have). We've learned to wear masks. Some have taken away valuable, life-changing lessons from the pandemic. None of us knows how long this new way of life will continue or when or if a vaccine will be available. But, one thing is for sure, for Ideal-LIVING readers who had already found their ideal destination prior to the virus, their experiences have been a bit more relaxed and serene than those still living in highly populated areas. The following are stories from homeowners in different states, and even one from a couple in Mexico who share their pre-COVID and shelter-in-place experiences.
