We have not been on Talk of the Villages yet, our boxes are still unpacked, lucky if our shades are up, waiting for cable, (another major decision) and some stranger knocks on your door, nicest people in the world, so you trust and understand that they really dont have the outlay money for your tree, paint, whatever. We are out $300. That should be the worst. Its all worth it to live the life, even an extra $300.00.

There is so much going on with your home when you first move in. You do have people knocking on your door with all kinds of offers. The way I look at it is , you have the rest of your life to get things done. No need to rush . It will get done . Take your time in your new home ,relax a bit.
