My name is Joe and my wife is Eileen and we have a son that lives in the Los Angeles area. We have been snooping the threads of TOTV for a while now and along with friends that live in TV, TOTV has been helpful, if not insturmental in our learning about the area, what it has to offer and helped end the indecision we have had for some time now about where we should find refuse from all the warm and cuddly feelings we get from all the snow and freezing weather we're so blessed with up here near North Pole South.

Anyway, in a relatively short time we have not only had our interest in TV cultivated but we have taken action that will take me away from an area that I have worked and lived in all of my life. The house I now live in I first moved into from the age of seven until we got married and moved back into it upon my fathers death last year.

After a whole lot of our reviewing of home listings for TV along with friends of ours looking on our behalf at what we were interested in, we finally decided to put in an offer on a pre-owned Gardenia in the Village of Hadley, all without ever being in TV. We will be arriving at TV on January 17th and if our home inspections tomorrow and our final mortgage approval go without any hitches, we will be closing on January 18th. However, we will be snowflakes at least for the forseeable future and will only be at TV for about two or three weeks and will spend the first two in a lifestyle cabana.

Enough for now... gotta save some stuff for future postings ya know! BTW, can anyone tell me where we would go to file for bankruptcy after we close, go through our intitial expenses and run out of money?

Welcome, welcome,welcome fellow NYer. We went from snow flake to snow bird here in the bubble and loved every minute. We'll be back down in January- hopefully you'll be a villager by then.
