I suspect the cantankerous woman who assaulted you lives in Mallory. Her reputation precedes her.
But let me give you our first experience after moving to TV. The ink was barely dry on the contract when news shot like lightening through our neighborhood of seventy-something CY villas that two “guys” had bought the house on the corner. We moved in at the end of December 2015. We had lived in twelve places between Boston and Provincetown over forty years prior.
Within two days, no fewer than twelve neighbors knocked on the door to introduce themselves and welcome us to the neighborhood. This has never happened to us before in more than 40 years together. Our neighborhood has two monthly parties attended by anywhere from 20 to 45 people, where we eventually met nearly all of the neighbors, including the wonderful people from whom we bought our house.
We love our neighbors and they love us. We know each other; we care for and about each other; we care for each other when someone is ill or feeling poorly; we share food and company when someone is down. We have men’s golf Wednesday, women’s golf Thursday and co-ed golf Friday, book club monthly, mahjohngg weekly, lunch trips, special events monthly at our neighborhood rec center, and more.
I had a bout of major depression early last year and the support from neighbors was overwhelming. We’re very grateful to have found our neighborhood in TV.
I think you would love it here and I wholeheartedly suggest the monthly stay others have suggested. Should you come across the rare cantankerous Villager, just give a big smile and say, “Bless your heart. Have a nice day.”
