INTRODUCTION

[bime8062]

Would like to introduce ourselves to this forum. We were lucky enough to have sold our home here in North Jersey within 3months. Of course had to back off about 20g, but we would like to leave this area sooner than later(costs taxes etc,oh and did i mention the lousy weather?).

Anyway picked out a nice place on Dunkirk in Hadley. Had visited TV in early Feb.And to quote a fellow we met while there.... "this place(TV) is a no brainier"! That sold us.
Closing in early April and look forward to meeting "u all"

:welcome: A no brainer, but I must say everyone here DID have the brains to choose TV. :#1:

[redwitch]

Welcome! Brave people to own two terriers -- especially the Westie. They are adored in this household but, boy, are they stubborn dogs.

[DickY]

:welcome: Now you have to make it to the TOTV get-together in April on the 18th at Crispers.

[Taltarzac]

:welcome: ;D


Check out the Doggie Doo Run Run dog park if your dogs are sociable that is. Pet sat for two Westies-- Chuck and Heather-- for about 6 to 7 years. They can be a bit ill tempered.

There are cairns and Westies there though quite often.

:welcome:

The Cat and I are happy to have new friends in TV - so long as The Dogs don't come visit The Cat's house! ;D

Sorry not have as much apparent enthusiasm as Donna, but we aren't all quite so exuberant!

Congratulations on the new start, you're gonna have a blast!

[mmclover]

Congratulations byenj, I am waiting for that day to happen to me, soon I hope. I am also hoping that when it happens it will happen quickly. I notice a lot of homes in the vls listing that say quick close. Does anyone know what they mean by quick.

Congrats to you and welcome to TV. It's a wonderful place and lifestyle. Can't wait to sell in Central NJ so that we can live permanently in our house in Amelia.

As you can see I have no artistic or graphic capabilities, so I just borrow from my brilliant TOTVer's.

See ya, and once again :welcome: to the neighborhood.

Hi Jim and Linda, It sounds like you are about to start living the dream. Congrats!!! I haven't checked the map yet , but I think we may be neighbors. We just sold our home in Ohio and purchased a new home in Hadley on Foxbridge Terrace. We close in April and will be moving down in June. My wife is a retiring school teacher and needs to finish out the school year before we can move. We have had two Cairn Terriers and loved them both (real family dogs) Looking forward to the move and will watch for you walking the dogs.Dale and Joyce

[chelsea24]

:welcome: :welcome: :welcome: Hi Jim and Linda and welcome! Hadley is near me and my husband Stephen, we're in Duval. By the way, my real first name is Linda too. Anyway welcome to TV and to the neighborhood. We're great animal lovers as my hubby is veterinarian. He had his own practice for 35 years before retiring. We just moved here in Nov, so we're fairly new also. Let us know when you finally settle. Look forward to meeting you both! ;D

[JohnnyM]

Congratulations Jim & Linda and welcome. I think we also will be neighbors as we are in Hadley also, on Bainbridge Lane. We close on March 31 but still have our home in South Jersey on the market. Best of luck! Johnny

[Sailor17]

:) :) :)

Yippee!

We closed on our home in TV this afternoon! My name is Phyllis and hubby is Peter. He is floating around cloud nine all by himself as I have commitments here, (NY) until next month. Our home is in Poinciana. We visited (for the third time), in January, 08, saw a house we loved and bought it.

Could someone explain how we go about meeting this group. Crispers???..............help

Thanks,
Phyllis

[JohnnyM]

Welcome Phyllis and Peter. Wow what a night. Congratulations! I don't know what I am doing up so late, but I guess I can be the greeter for now. Wait until tomorrow, you guys will be deluged with welcome notes. I think I will leave the Crispers thing to the other veterans who attend and organize but I do believe it is the third Friday of each month. I'm sure someone will have better information than I. Once again WELCOME!!! Johnny

[Muncle]

Jim & Linda, welcome to Hadleyville. Though it is new, it seems a great location and it's filling fast. You're gonna love the Havana golf course and the country club will be done in no time.

And welcome Phyllis and Peter to Poinciana. I live in the next village over and just love the area. As you'll see from comments in here, Cane Garden restaurant generally gets good reviews. I think you've got a fairly active social group -- web site: http://poincianavillage.org/index.html

Re the Crispers thing --- it's an informal get-together of folks who post here. Just get together, get something to drink and maybe eat, and BS face to face instead of over a keyboard. I went last month, met some really nice people, and had a good time. It is Friday (TODAY) at 3:00 at the Crispers Restaurant at Southern Trace (that's on CR466 by the high school). All four of you should come if possible and jump start your becoming full fledged Villagers.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Hi to add to what Muncle said we are usually outside in the patio. We will be the group that will be talking faster than we can type.

My name is Hyacinth Bucket pronounced Bouquet, if you ask for me I will be happy to introduce you to the others. I will be the one who looks she came straight from the hair stylist, which will be true. I am also heavy set, probably will a denim skirt.

Looking forward to seeing you later today.

Muncle will you be there to greet your new neighbors?

See ya,

Hyacinth Bucket

[Sidney Lanier]

Hi y'all, welcome to The Villages, and we look forward to meeting you at Crispers (a restaurant off CR-466 in the Publix Plaza, across and a little over from the Charter Schools. Not hard to find. Best of luck!

[irishamr]

Yippee II:

We sold our home and are moving to Amelia! My name is Nancy and hubby is Ed. We move in April 17th. Hope to see you all at Crispers.

We have a Lhasa Apso named Eddie.

Thanks,
Nancy (irishamr)

[JohnnyM]

Nancy and Ed - Congratulations! It looks like houses our starting to sell. Good news. Welcome to TV and TOTV. Best of luck as you settle in and hope to meet you one day. JohnnyM

[bime8062]

To think it took us years to meet anyone in our old neighborhood in Jersey and have such a welcome from all u guys and gals ;D it certainly makes my decision that more clearly the correct one! Our new home is 2552 Dunkirk in HADLEYVILLE(sounds like Happydale) ::) Hope u still luv us when the cairn starts to bark ;D. Linda and I will continue to visit this forum and right now we feel like we are on the ejection seat.

BTW shout out to Johnnie&Barbara who live on Bainbridge (sounds like the Bronx) seem we have some old times to talk about. I am from the Fordham Section Remember "UPTOWN ITS ALEXANDERS"

JIM & LINDA

pups Molly and Duffy...........

[UMRJM]

Congratulations Jim & Linda and welcome. I think we also will be neighbors as we are in Hadley also. We are on Dunkirk trail and also come from Jersey Central Jersey. We have been traveling back and forth for the last 4 months, but hope to be spending more and more time down their.

Again welcome to the Villages.

[JohnnyM]

Jim & Linda and Umrjm can't wait to meet you all. We are still in NJ as I mentioned our house is still on the market. We close March 31 so we will be in TV until around the 3rd of April. Then it will be back and forth until the house sells. Keep the neighborhood hopping until we get there. Best of luck, Johnny & Barbara
PS: Jim I was born and raised on 212th street and Boston Rd. between Gun Hill Rd and Eastchester Rd. I think you are right, wasn't there a Bainbridge section in the Bronx?
