My wife and I came down for our closing on our new home in Buttonwood on June 21. After the closing we spent the next eleven days arranging furniture, hanging pictures, putting handles on cabinets, buying plants and all the things that make it a home. In the midst of all that, I met with lawncare, air conditioning, pest control and delivery people. And with all that going on, we got down to the pool everyday on met some of the most friendly and wonderful people you could imagine. in the evenings we would get in the golf cart and go to LSL or SS for dinner and music and met more great people! We also met our next door neighbors and became instant friends. At the pool, My wife was talking to a couple and the husband looked familiar, so I asked if his name was Pete, and sure enough it was. Pete also lives in Buttonwood and sent me a PM and offered to take pictures of our construction. Well Pete and his wife Judy are as nice in person as they were online! On Friday, reality set in when we had to go back home. Being a former part time travel agent, we've been on many, many great trips, but this had to be our hardest trip home ever! Hopefully, next year, when our other home gets sold and my wife retires, we be back for good. Until then we'll have to settle for a couple of weeks here and there and in between wonder how are house is doing and wishing we were there. For those of you who had to leave like us, I would be willing to bet that your experiences and emotions were pretty much like ours.
