I certainly do not want to be one of the many snowbirds spoken about on TOTV. I love people and I am an excellent rule follower. Not that I'm boring - quite the opposite, but I understand why the rules are in place. TV will be the largest place I have lived in 33 years. I truly look forward to the friendships and comrade-re of a larger town. I have lived rurally for so long that I am so excited to have unlimited people to be friends with. People watching must be fantastic. Sitting at Starbucks watching the dogs with their "owners" will be a blast. This first year, I will be in TV from September to ? June. With a few trips home for the holidays. Don't know what that qualifies me as exactly. Maybe slightly more than a snowbird. I know I will be spending alot of time without my hubby who still is partially employed. I'll be spending this time without him making "our nest" and enjoying myself. Hope everyone will accept me, and if I have a Faux-pax or a senior moment, please excuse me because it will take some time to fully understand the written and unwritten TV laws.

Suzi, I think there should be another distinction--more than snowbird, less than frog. It's for those of us who stay longer than the typical three winter months. It sounds like you'll make friends easily. And if you have any trouble, PM me! I'll come out and play.
