Ok...this is getting pathetic!

[Trish Crocker]

I have to stop thinking about The Villages...I have come to see all of you TOTVers as friends. Right now, my Christmas tree is half decorated, I have to go to the mall to shop, I have to show houses tonight to a client and my house is a mess....but instead, I'm here reading and daydreaming. My poor husband...every conversation with me begins with "and when we get down there......" It's great to have all of you for a support group!!!! I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful Holiday Season...Merry Christmas!

Don't feel alone. Most of my conversations with my wife are about TV. Also TOTV. We're getting our house ready to sell and just finished taking down wall paper in out half bath and painted. Now to tackle our kitchen which is about the same size as a Brdigeport or Holly kitchen. Lot's of work but will keep us busy...

and then FINALLY all my NC friends sent me packing, tired of hearing me talk about TV!....tee hee

Well, you sweet Trish, I know I am not the only one who also thinks of you already as a friend,too. I am so looking forward to your joining us.

Thank you Gracie...can't wait to sit on the lanai with you and share a cup of tea (well...not exactly share...you can have your own cup :) )

One day at a time, Trish.

Merry, Merry Christmas....to you and yours!

Being a newbie wannabe, I already understand! Seems I am checking the status of new homes, resales etc. more than I check my mail. Home is just on the market, terrible time but at least I have to keep it perfect!!! Can't wait to meet all of you I am starting to get to know!!! This site is terrific for learning - thanks all!!!!
(Where in Connecticut are you???)

You need to be patient. It took us 5 years to become a TV owner, albeit a snow bird. You have already started to sell your home and become Frogs. We haven't come to that phase yet and I don't want to think about what I need to do further down the line. For now, indeed, I am enjoying the warm breeze in the lanai and driving around in the golf cart when the weather is nice. If you dream enough, it will come soon. Merry Chrsitmas and a Happy New Year.

[Posh 08]

Merry Christmas! It will happen.

[pooh]

Oh, Trish, I understand completely....:) It is fun to imagine what it will be like living here, though it might keep you from accomplishing things...lol.

When we moved in, we were like kids in a candy shop!

Maybe Santa will surprise you.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[angiefox10]

Just know that we are all cheering you on. You will get there, and when you do, you wll forget about all of this.

[Happinow]

Please add me to the "when we get to TV" club! Everyday our conversations are about when we move and how we will build our home, how wonderful it will be to put shorts and sandals on again, to sit out on our lanai with some iced tea.....We dream all day. We just can't wait to meet everyone and enjoy the good life! Merry Christmas everyone!

I know the feeling --we have been doing the same thing since August when we first visited TV --the day we bought --and now we are counting the days until January 11 when we close!

It's a mutual fan club! We have a lot in common over time. And I really enjoy looking at the houses for sale, dreaming about the final move, and reading TOTV progress that people are making.

Yep, you meet the nicest people on TOTV-- and you are one of them. Can't wait 'til we can be "in person" friends. I know what you mean about thinking and talking about TV all the time. It took us at least five years from the time we knew 'til the time we bought, and we're still just snowflakes.

I can so relate to what you are saying. Whenever I'm not in TV, I'm still thinking and talking about it and wishing I was and um, posting on TOTV of course. One night my Hubby threatened to log onto TOTV and post, "If anyone sees my wife in one of these threads, would you please tell her it's time to go to bed." So yeah, I can relate. :)

Merry Christmas or Happy Chanukah as applicable, dear TOTV friends!

[Ebsmom]

We are not Villagers yet... I have viewed the DVD Promo online for years and in Oct we spent one nite in The Villages and was so excited we booked our LSP that begins this week...I can say we are ever so excited... A good friend flew down and is joining us. Count all of us as part of the Club of Wannabe's! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all..

[CarGuys]

It will happen Trish. Just when you think the home won't sell poof. Like Pturned stated it was four years of waiting.

And us from The North know after Christmas keeping perky can be a stretch in the cold snow and for us Grey Sky.

Look at all the neat friends we have met on line. I sent you some construction pics so you can see what happens,

And as Gracie told me it happens quick! A well oiled machine on gettin a home up.

Are you going to be there around January 7-10 would like to meet up with you. Merry Christmas

The same sweet wishes back to you my dear Trish who is my friend but has not yet sit on my sofa and had a glass of wine and laughed with other friends who I haven't yet hugged. Here is a fervent wish that you will be with us next Christmas. In fact Valentines day would be better.

Happiness is indeed the journey and the destination here.

We're right there with you, Trish. We even have Christmas presents labeled "For when we get to TV....."! Someday a dominoe will drop and houses will begin to sell again, and then the market values will jump in TV because of all the pent up demand out here! Merry Christmas to you and to all on TOTV.
