I arrived in TV and my new home last night around 7pm. I already love it less than 12 hours latter and am so excited to begin moving stuff out of truck and into house that I woke up fully awake at 4am....I am just hoping that the nasty weather forecasted holds off a few more hours. Things were so busy and crazy packing up in MD that I never did get any help set up to unload. IT only took 2 1/2 hours to put on the truck with 6 people so I hope it will not take too much longer to unload with the 4 we have here at the house right now. Everything is going into the garage to start.....

Thanks so much to all who sent there wishes and congratulations here. My first day in TV has been amazing. My son and friends husband who helped drive the truck down here woke up at 6:30. We managed to wait till 7am so the sun was up before we began with the noise of unloading the truck and had it done by 8:30! :a040: I was shocked how quickly it went. (of course there are boxes everywhere but hey there will be for a while) By 10 am we had showered and were at TooJays in LSL for a wonderful breakfast. No rain yet! God does answer prayer.
I then had to make my first trip down to the Orlando airport for son and friends husband to fly home. I wasn't looking forward to doing so in severe storms. Once again God is good and storms never materialized. We did get a bit off track on way home after getting off of turnpike at 301. Never trust map quest! I should have gone with the known route of going up 301 to 466A, but we eventually found our way home after a trip through Fruitland.
Tomorrow will be a day to begin the unpacking.

Welcome Sue.

The first days in Lower Paradise are only the beginning of a wonderful experience. Take it slow and easy on the unpacking and take breaks to go out and enjoy what brought you here. We are still in the midst of finding places for things and Sweetie is driving down a big truck with the REST of our belongings next week.

I wish you every good thing and hope to meet you soon. Drop by anytime!

Congratulations Suzanne!!!!!! I will be putting my home in NYC on the market in February and I can hardly wait. Between now and than I will be getting ready for the move. The process is very exciting, knowing that I will eventually arrive in TV to my beautiful home that is awaiting me. I will make sure that I have plenty of Tollhouse cookies in the freezer for my open houses. This time last year I had no plans of retiring and moving to TV. It's all moved so fast, but now that I am in the home stretch, it does not feel fast enough.

:MOJE_whot:Congratulations! I know how busy those first few weeks can be, but do try to take a few minutes this Friday at 3pm and come to our monthly gathering at Crispers. Crispers is located in the Southern Trace shopping center at the corner of 466 and 101. It will be a welcome break from the unpacking and you will have the chance to meet some of your TOTV friends!

Hi Suzanne,

I just sent you a PM. I had lunch at Crispers one day last week when I was in TV -- lunch was very good. Congrats to you -- you are a lucky woman to be in TV now!!
