And now, exactly one year later on June 3, 2013 we were at 392 pages with 3911 posts. I told Janice when I started the thread that I would be thrilled if I got 10 replies and look where we are now! New and caring neighbors, best friends, golfing foursomes, GillyBrations, driveway parties, holiday parties, impromptu lanai visits, etc. I am just amazed at everything that has happened. I am so grateful for all of you (whether I know you or not) for making this neighborhood what it has become. Our "cast of characters" and the related high-jinks associated with the cast has made this a really, really fun place to live.

You guys are the greatest.


Thanks for starting this thread and making us all feel welcome when speaking for myself--"wondering if moving to a new place and starting all over again was the best thing." Well I can say--my doubts have been erased many times over and because of what you started have made that happen. It's especially more meaningful when you're by yourself and feel so welcome and part of the group.
