OMG!
We've lived in this house 26 years, and I didn't realize we had so much stuff. Trying to decide what to bring, what to donate, what to give away, what to discard...It's just nerve-wracking. But we'll get through it, and we can't wait to come down. Best of luck in Amelia

Look at the 'stuff' and ask yourself if it is worth the cost of paying a mover to move it.

Look at the 'stuff' and ask yourself if it is worth the cost of paying a mover to move it.

That makes perfect sense except to a pack rat with 30+ years of pack.

We are also closing on July 10th.
Be there for the winter early November.

Stopped by the new house yesterday on the way to Sarastoa from CT and were able to meet the next door neighbors.

We are stoked!

Welcome to you and I believe that you have made the best choice possible.

I know a couple of folks who live on Heathsprings Drive and I think you will get used to them quickly, even though they raise snakes and have rock band practice twice a week on the lanai.

JUST KIDDING.

Hi Kate and Blondie.:o

Many thanks for all the good vibes KarGuy, Katzbox, Helene2008, BarbinNH, ArmyGuy, skip0358, graciegirl and all of good cheer. We'll be closing by mail so that our little boys, (my cats), have a home ready to go to, and don't have to wait in the car. I'm sure they are going to love the drive down from NJ......NOT!!!!! lol. I figure we'll be down by July 15th to our new home on Longbow Trail. Looking forward to meeting as many neighbors as I can, and jumping in the neighborhood pool. :pepper2::beer3::pepper2:

We sold our house in NJ last July. While deciding what to bring or not bring, we applied the"5 second rule." Decide where it will be used within 5 seconds or we didn't need it. Saved us a lot of grief and time and $$$ for the move!

We are still in the planning stage, doing our Lifestyle visit July 25th for a week. I am thinking I like that rule and will start now.

don't know if you have a Rep. yet. my wife and I just got back from our LSV we had PJ Martin who was outstanding. Listened to what we wanted should us as many models as we wanted to see then when we narrowed it down he gave his input and offered some suggestions. It really went very smooth.

Were having a home built in The Villages of Bonita. We take possession in October. Is Bonita an active community? We are moving from north of 466. Hope to see all the neighbors out and about.

Hi golf2140,

We can probably see your house from our house! We closed on July 10th, and 3 more couples on our street have closed since then. Bonita is a very happenin' place. Welcome!

Wife & I just got back last night. Were done to check on our house on Heath Springs. The neighborhood is really building up nicely. The neighbors we met at both the pool and LSL were all very cheerful and pleasent. Can't wait to get down next month. 35 days but who's counting. The house next to us was getting painted and having the driveway poured, several on Boiling Springs were moving right along, things are really looking up. Weather was beautiful outside of a few Heavy Thunder storms but that's what keeps everthing so nice and green. See you all soon.

Wow!! I can't believe this thread I started is still going. My wife and I have been living in our home in Bonita 3 weeks today. Time flies when you're having fun, as they say. We went to a get together dinner at Red Sauce last week. I don't know if any of my fellow bloggers were there. I really only got to really talk to a few couples for more than a few minutes. We're having a great time now that the unpacking is about done.

Everybody!!....Welcome to lovely active Bonita. It's 13 months since I became a Villager and Bonita resident and started this thread and love the way the neighborhood has grown. We have great great neighbors and have made many friends to pal around with and play golf with etc, etc. A great village and a great decision to move here.

Welcome to Bonita. After having lots of empty unsold homes around the neighborhood it seems that The Villages is finally selling the homes. I've seen two families move in on the street next to me just in the past couple of weeks.
