English - I would never say "Go Vikings" to you!! That would be like saying "Go Raiders" lol

Kar Guy- We had already fallen in love with the Jasmine but it was already out of our price range. Then our sales lady called and said there were two on the market that had been discounted. One on Persimmons Loop and the other on Gum (something) It was listed on the TV site for $216,000 which she said was already discounted. I had seen other new Jasmine for anywhere from $226,000 up to $260,000. Still I thought $216 was just a little out of our range. She checked and came back with either a $209,000 price or $26,000 credit at Southern Lifestyles. We took the $209,000.

Where we are now, we do not have a backyard although we do let them out throughout the day to run up and down the common area. Darby is really old (the westie) so all he wants to do is go to the closest tree, lift his leg and come inside. Duffy likes to run around for a few min. before coming inside. Duffy is out approx. 3 min. tops so you see, they are not outdoor dogs. We don't know what we'll do with that part, but we will be good neighbors, that I guarantee!! We walk them once in the morning and once at night to do their other business but ALWAYS pick up. We'll try to get them to go in our yard before we take them for their walk. Darby doesn't walk very far so we go to the end of the block with him and then back. Duffy we'll walk.

I think the only thing (I hope) that is a negative about the new home is that it faces East and West. (I heard that was bad, right?) Lanai faces West I think... ???

There is a new financial center going in (or is it already in??) that won't be far from the house and I was kinda worried about that, but the sales lady said we were far enough away so that it shouldn't be a bother.

Hey Duval.....Anything else we should know??? We are on Persimmon Loop.

We will be seeing our home for the first time Sept 5th. (That's scary) We will probably be tooling around the area on a golf cart to check things out the most of the time we're there so Duval... Don't think we are "casing the joint" and turn us in!! ;D :cop:

We will be arriving in TV on the 25th of Sept. Getting a room at the Holiday Inn or some place like that for one night and then close on the 26th. Our movers will be there on the 27th.

I am going to go on the Duval sight now and check in with our new neighbors.. See ya soon
