Living in a private golf and country club is considered by most folks who have the means to do so, one step from paradise. Now I don't mean paradise in the sense of the hereafter, but rather a grand lifestyle in typically gorgeous surroundings. Say hello to Max Weinstock, who worked hard all his life, built up a business in Long Island, New York, and cashed in several years ago, retiring with his wife, Marilyn, to Boca Mar Vista Golf and Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. It was all they dreamed that it would be. Of course, if their kids - managing their grandchildren's upbringing --- would move nearby, then paradise, in every sense of the word, would be realized. But they learned to live with it. As Marilyn loves to say, "It is what it is." Let's follow their day-to-day lives in the club and its environs, sharing their joys, annoyances, frustrations, and sorrows. Welcome to Boca Mar Vista and this tale of paradise, paradise lost and paradise regained.
