So much to keep up with
Wow. When you don't check in for 24 hours, you have to read through about 4 pages of new posts to try to catch up. That being said, welcome to our newbies. You will love it here.
Report on the Flea Market...... IT IS HUGE! Only about a 20 minute drive south on 301/471. Open every Monday. One part is comprised of pretty typical junk----watches, t-shirts, melted glass bottles, purses, sunglasses, hats, jewely, etc. Probably regular vendors who really don't have the motivation to get real jobs, but who buy odd lots of cheap stuff and try to make a buck or two. The other part, across the street is made up of hundreds (seemed like thousands) of small antique dealers, collectors, etc who displayed a wide array of all the stuff people moved down here and decided to dispose of. Seriously, there was a lot of really unique stuff and some that was pretty interesting. We spent about an hour and a half there, and didn't buy anything, but you could spend all day if you were really motivated. It's something worth doing occasionally, but I sure don't have the stamina to go very often.
Met some new neighbors at the Gilchrist Pool this afternoon. Shirley (hubby Dale was not with her) lives on Eastfield across the street from Jim and Mary and down a few lots. Very nice woman and I encouraged her to check us out online. They closed Dec 16th. The other couple live in Fernandina (Barb and Wes). They are trying to get a threat going for Placida Villas.
Gonna be a wonderfully warm week. If you haven't visited our Gilly pool, give it a try. The water was delightful. And it's a great place to meet people.
Lee and Cion, your house is looking great. Kitty, I think I saw that yours had started, as well. There's so much building going on, I can't keep track of who is where. A-4s spreadsheet is great, but I may need an actual map as a visual aid. Anyone up for the challenge?
