New Villagers in Gilchrist

[gayleroberts268@aol.com]

I am so proud of my wife.:bowdown: She has worked so hard for so long it is good to see some recognition of her charitable efforts.:eclipsee_gold_cup:
Now if only I can get her down here soon!:2excited:

A belated congrats to you Terry. We are proud to know you.

Also congrats to Andy Andreews on his award. What wonderful people we have here in TV! And you are our friends! What a bonus.

[junction29]

Hi All,
Get yourself around to A4's and take $2 with you. :D

He is offering pictures of himself posing in a red speedo at Mamaderby's brand new pool. :22yikes:

We have just bought one and it is not to be missed. :BigApplause:

The $2 are going to a good cause, as every cent is being put into the Gillyland finances in the safe hands of our Treasurer, where it will be spent wisely after Jimbo's bail fund is provided.

Ladies are advised to take a companion to catch them in case they swoon at the sight that meets their eye's when they take their first look at this picture. chilout

[jimbo2012]

I think at this point in time my bail fund may be released, all is well with warranty now, only took 9 months

[bkcunningham1]

At this pace, ya'll are going to need a liver transplant fund.

[junction29]

I think at this point in time my bail fund may be released, all is well with warranty now, only took 9 months

Well if the Bail Bond is no longer required then we will have to look or another worthy cause. :0000000000luvmyhors

This sounds like a job for His Worship The Mayor and his Executive Team in order to find a cause before all the funds disappear to the Corona Brewery. :spoken:

[junction29]

At this pace, ya'll are going to need a liver transplant fund.

At our time of life it is probably too late to worry. :0000000000luvmyhors

It is probably better than expiring of old age; :MOJE_whot::1rotfl::jester:

[junction29]

Dear All,

Just heard that the pictures of A4 in the Speedo are going fast, with some people even going back to buy a second one. :spoken:

So hurry if you don't want to miss this fantastic opportunity get along to A4's place with your $2 ASAP. :a040::jester::crap2:

Here is your new GILCHRIST MEN’S SPEEDO SWIM TEAM.
These photos are a little risqué so I hope they don’t offend people.
We’re putting together 12 pictures for a 2014 calendar.

After practice today we christened The Old Bishop’s new pool.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that The Mum is now in surgery in Charlotte, NC having a pacemaker implanted. She ended up in the hospital last Friday with a stomach virus and the doctors discovered that she had a low and irregular heartbeat. The surgery is supposed to last about an hour and a half and no problems are expected. Prayers are appreciated. I'll put up a post when I know the outcome. What a year it's been...:22yikes:

[WVMtnBoy]

Good News! The Mum was in surgery about an hour and came through the procedure with her colors flying! Nice steady heart rate. Thanks for your kind thoughts & prayers!

[junction29]

Thank the good lord for that, lets hope the rest of the year brings some good luck and good health to you and your family for a change.:BigApplause:

You and your Deputy Mayor need to come down to the Colony Tunnel. I've got a little trick I want to show you. :gc:

FYI, during my tunnel investigative work, I put up a picture of you in the tunnel asking for info regarding the tunnel incident. As carts drove by your picture, the riders were raising their fingers. Since they did not slow down, it was difficult to see if they were saying you were #1?
The last driver slowed down, held up 3 fingers and yelled, "read between the lines!" Boy, she was not a happy camper!

[A-4 Skyhawk]

Amazing . . . . . . after 13 weeks of NOTHING . . . . . the Deputy Mayor found the on - off switch on his computer. He should have stuck with his toy trains.

Still I suppose we can charge for the 2014 calendars. :wave:

You could call them a lot of things but Chippendale's isn't one of them....maybe Chip and Dale...:doh:

Hey now, cut DMBS some slack. He's been supervising the move of the Village Office from the south side of my house to the west side. These moves are not made lightly, ya know? Besides, the paperwork is backing up in there!!! :oops:

Hello from Nancy and Charlie Manganiello to everyone in Gilchrist 211 & everywhere else in Gilchrist. We moved into a Boxwood home on Honeyville Lane two weeks ago and are still getting settled. Looking forward to meeting all of you the upcoming events. Thanks to Peter Brownell for adding us to the Gilchrist West group.

Hi Nancy & Charlie,
Welcome to Gilchrist, we look forward to meeting you at the next Gillibration or somewhere else and you have definitely picked the friendliest neighbourhood in TV. :a040:

[rrheit]

Where are you in Gilchrist. We are on Alesio

[Jayhawk]

It's been a month since we returned home after our wonderful 15 days at Gilchrist. Wondering how construction is coming in the neighborhood. We are on Regency and there were several open lots when we left.

Sure are missing it back there. Rode my motorcycle to work today and it was about 50 degrees outside.

:cold:

[paulajr]

We will be moving to Gilchrist in January! We purchased one of the model homes, and cannot wait! Nervous about selling our house up here in Massachusetts, but we're keeping faith that it will all work out!

Sure are missing it back there. Rode my motorcycle to work today and it was about 50 degrees outside.

:cold:

Last week they broke ground on the last 5 lots on the west side of Regency. Here's three shots from our front yard:
22574 22575 22576
One builder got the first 4 in a row and the last one is a different builder. There's one vacant lot on the east side of Regency with no signs of breaking ground (lot #69). I think the 5 lots on the west side of Euclid will start in the next 2 weeks.

[Jayhawk]

Thanks so much for the great update. We can hardly wait to get back down there. Those homes will surely be done before then.

:BigApplause:

In pursuance of the above we call a Gillybration at 7:08pm at Evans Prairie on Thursday the 17th of October, when the winner of the Gillyland 'Naming of Prince George competition' will be presented with their prize and an extra, special award, will also be presented to all who entered. :MOJE_whot:

:$:By now most of us know that Sir Andy :jester:and the Mrs :angel:are looking into purchasing an RV to roam about the land their forefathers gave up on. And, by rumor it has been whispered that the Mayor and the Flintstones, and Afour (new alias?) may also be on the lookout for a traveling home (really? Who would want to leave Gilliland?):wave:
Anyway, below are some of the ones they have been considering. I kinda like the big red one so any (or all) of us who may want to travel with them can have their own room.:beer3:

The RED one looks like something you'd haul chickens in. I'll send it over to my "friends" in the Fernandina Flockers. I'm sure there will be some interest.

I'm with Teryl. I do like the red one. I think we could fit quite a few Gillies in that rig. I wonder, does it have a bar????

We rather like the big RED one as well, it looks big enough to hold parties in whilst traveling. :jester:

Just a little worried about the Gas cost to run it though, might have to tap The Treasurer up for some financial support. :pray:

[junction29]

Hi Guys,
Don't forget the Gillybration on Thursday at Evans Prairie at 7:08.

Critical that every entrant (or their representative) of the "Name Prince George' Competition attends. :pepper2::pepper2:

Old Timers - don't forget to wear your Gillyland Name badges so that the new guys can get to know a few names. :a040::a040:

Okay, okay, okay....It'll be nice to have ChiefRose and he beautiful bride back on the reservation.....:0000000000luvmyhors

It will also be nice to have our social coordinator (MamaDerby) back also. Ty-Rel has been getting out of hand recently and needs his much, much, much better half back!!! ;)

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I've already checked with the Treasurer regarding the village finances. I've asked him if the village can afford a mobile office for the mayor like all of the other big shot politicians. He replied that the village treasury is empty....again. :ohdear:

If you are worried about money for gas- what about this mobile office ( and bar) for your officer adminstration team- it would be quite a nice addition to the streets of Gillyland

We toyed with this idea once before and now there are more in the neighborhood, then His Worship the Mayor really needs an 'Official' vehicle for himself and the Lady Mayoress to tour their constituency; :pepper2:

Maybe we could form a development committee to grab money off the Treasurer before it is consumed and put to good use on such a sterling project. :beer3:

We could even have a naming ceremony when it is completed; :pepper2:

[bogo2128]

Hey now, cut DMBS some slack. He's been supervising the move of the Village Office from the south side of my house to the west side. These moves are not made lightly, ya know? Besides, the paperwork is backing up in there!!! :oops:

Thank you Mr. Mayor!
The Village Office move is now complete but I have one question, what about your woodshop? Where would you like for it to be? You need to consider placement very carefully, you do not want to disturb your neighbors during your late night sawing. Speaking of sawing, your request for more wooden planks has been placed and shipment will arrive in 2-4 weeks.
FYI, all of the paperwork related to Gillyland covert activities from Jan to Aug has been shredded. Plus, the Gillyland drone tapes have been converted to DVDs.

[bogo2128]

I will be flying in from Ohio for the festivities!!!! And to come home for a few days!!!!!

Glad you will be here for the Gillybration! Can't wait to hear about your award.

Oh, are you aware that Teryl has been representing Gillyland with football picks in The Daily Sun? He is such a handsome dude in that picture!
Anyhow, let's talk about his football picks. The first week, I went with him all the way and since he got half of his picks right, I lost my shirt! His second time around, I decided to agree with 25% of his picks.
Well, he got them all right and I lost more than my shirt! Now I'm having trouble paying the boys in Vegas. The Gillyland treasury is empty (thanks to you know who) and The Mayor is unable to raise my salary. So I will be coming to you for a loan and for advice how to bet with Teryl's picks for this weekend.
Thank you for your understanding and I do accept checks!

Hello Gillylander's.
My name is Rich and my wife's name is Hannah.
Boy, do I wish I saw this thread months ago.
We closed on our Sunflower the first week in July. We bought the lot 209-85 on Amherst, last October. We were waiting until we sold our house and dropped enough hints for the last of our kids to finally leave the nest. We met with the designers near the end of April and it is unbelievable how they were able to give us our closing date 75 days out.
FYI - Hannah is the one who spearheaded the community garage sale last weekend.

So Rich . . . . . have you read all 458 pages of posts on this thread? If you had read it before you designed you might not have ended up here. We are glad you are though. :laugh: I think a couple of us have scared a few people off. :evil6:

We have some friends in village of Caroline and knew 6 years ago that we were coming up here. It was just a matter of time.

So what is the story behind your avatar? Were you an A-4 driver?

[WVMtnBoy]

Sorry it's taken me so long to post these pics but the last few weeks have been challenging...lol.

HotRod and myself and another couple were playing golf a week or so ago and she saw there someone have put up a sign for a Gator Pettin' Zoo. She decided to take advantage of the opportunity and mosied down to take a look at the cute 'lil gator. :a040: While trying to pet said gator she suddenly decided she didn't want to when said gator decided to move in her direction.

So much for gator pettin'......:undecided:

Sorry for the finger in the way in the second pic put I was trying to focus too quickly!!!!

[WVMtnBoy]

Well, it seems that the Director of Signage has struck again :1rotfl::1rotfl:...this time at the residence of Hizzonor, Da Mayor! :evil6:

The sign was well done and it's obvious that great care was taken in it's crafting! :a040:

The only problem is that people now think that our last name is Mayer...:1rotfl::1rotfl:

I'd like to thank Dep. Mayer BS for his attention to detail. Don't worry Dep Mayer, you've already been thrown under the bus. The culprits will forever remain secret. And you know that us politicians always keep our word. ;)

Oh yea, one last thought. Now that people know where the Mayer lives, could someone please find the Mayers Office. I haven't seen it since it was relocated from the south end of the house to the west end. :rant-rave: Oh well, if I can't go to the office I guess I'll just have to take a nap...:mornincoffee:

[QUOTE=JaniceOhio;769202]I'm a newbie to TV and bought in Gilchrist. It's going to be wonderful! I knew my home the moment I walked in. Bought a model so don't close till January. Really looking forward to new friends and great times.[/QU

Hi Janice! Welcome to paradise. Hopefully we'll have a GillyBration when you get down here so you can meet our cast of characters. You won't believe it!!! :1rotfl:

:welcome:

[junction29]

Well, it seems that the Director of Signage has struck again :1rotfl::1rotfl:...this time at the residence of Hizzonor, Da Mayor!

The sign was well done and it's obvious that great care was taken in it's crafting!

The only problem is that people now think that our last name is Mayer...:1rotfl:

I'd like to thank Dep. Mayer BS for his attention to detail. Don't worry Dep Mayer, you've already been thrown under the bus. The culprits will forever remain secret. And you know that us politicians always keep our word. ;)

Oh yea, one last thought. Now that people know where the Mayer lives, could someone please find the Mayers Office. I haven't seen it since it was relocated from the south end of the house to the west end. Oh well, if I can't go to the office I guess I'll just have to take a nap...:mornincoffee:

Hi Your Honour,

We are not to sure that this is the same culprit as the sign is too well crafted; :coolsmiley:

Even allowing for the rise in quality for your exalted position, it just doesn't look like the work of the same scallywag as before. :pepper2::pepper2:

Has it been dusted for fingerprints? :posting:

Hi JaniceOhio,

Welcome to the neighbourhood.

You don't have to be crazy to live here, but if you are it is a big help. :a040:

[JaniceOhio]

Thanks Kitty & WVDude!

Those who know me in Ohio said TV would be a perfect fit. Didn't take me long to see why. I see a tremendous sense of community ... Love it! Kudos to you guys for making folks feel so welcome. Hope I can join you in doing the same for others.. Oh almost forget.. I LOVE to dance! ...

[WVMtnBoy]

Hi Janice! Just message A-4 Skyhawk and he'll hook you up with whomever is managing the list for the section you are in. If you're in 209, A-4 keeps that list. We're glad you're here!!!

[WVMtnBoy]

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let y'all know that The Mum landed back on the reservation last night at about 6:00pm. It seems that there was a cold snap in NC for a few days :cold: and she decided that she wanted to be back where it was warm. :a20: Plus, I think she missed her dog! :doggie:

Hey Janice -
Send me a PM with what unit you are in and I'll get you on the right list. There are 4 of us doing lists for parts of Gilchrist.

I think the Regency Mum is going to get out her street map and wander over to see the Bradshaw Mum. She Lit Up when she found out her friend was back.

To all my neighbors and friends of Gilchrist--Happy Halloween and hope that you enjoyed getting "boo-ed!" :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot: Wonder who started running around the neighborhood at the beginning of October leaving treats on door steps--he he?? :D :D Wonder when the "elf" will come out of hiding??

We got boo-ed and followed suit by boo-ing two more friends. It was really a great way to get into the Halloween spirit. The responsible party is to be congratulated. :BigApplause:

[SMills]

Jim and I will be in The VIllages next week (11/3-8) and was wondering if anything is planned. We would love to see some of the folks we met on our last trip. We understand therre is building going on in Gillyland but nothing is showing up that hasn't been there for a while. Any info would be appreciated. Regards to all, Sharon & Jim

We got BOO-ed and then got RE-BOO-ed. So we had 2 BOO's on the front door.
So here's a sad story. My driver (Cathy) and I went down to "The Cat House" (Shawn & Freddie's) to Boo them. The place is dark and my driver had the cart parked in the street ready for a fast get-a-way. I sneak up to the front door, Drop off my delivery, hit the door bell, and before I can turn to run, the door comes FLYING open and the person in the doorway is yelling "WHO ARE YOU" !!! As I'm trying to run and stumbling through their shrubs, again I hear the voice yelling, "YOU WITH THE LONG LEGS . . . . I KNOW WHO YOU ARE". The lesson learned here is never conduct Night Operations when you're wearing Crocks. You can't run in those things. (I'm glad she wasn't packing . . . . . )

Woke up in Kansas today to 19 degrees and frost. And yet we are excited ??

Yes, because I "pulled the pin" at work last week and will be mostly- retired on 12/31/13 (may be doing some very part-time consulting for my bank employer but will do it from there !!!!).

We are really looking forward to getting back to our home in The Villages and start living the dream.

This pink flamingo is doing the rounds
It’s going around the village in leaps and bounds

Just shows how crazy in Gilchrist we are
No wonder we spend so much time at the bar

It made us jump when we went outside
We almost let our composure slide

Now we are struggling to solve the clue
The ‘Manfred’ puzzle is sending us blue

Let us hope he finds his way back home soon
Maybe by singing a Happy Xmas tune

As the meaning of Manfred is a ‘Good Peace’
May the message of this riddle and symbol never cease

As it all helps to spread good Xmas cheer
We are off to get another frothy beer
:BigApplause:

I've never seen such a sense of community anywhere! People were telling me I belonged in TV long before I had heard of it. We're all very lucky to have each other. I can tell this already.

Kids gave me Christmas gifts for "the Florida house" .. It all feels so great!

Hope all are having a wonderful Christmas! :mademyday:

Merry Christmas fellow Gillys. Yes, it's still Christmas where we are. MamaDerby, so glad you are FINALLY headed home for good. Welcome to all our "new" neighbors. You will soon find yourselves busier than you ever imagined -- and having more fun. Sorry to miss the "ball drop" on New Year's Eve. We miss you all and will be back home before we know it.

First off, a BIG THANKS to the Flintstones for the design and build on our NYE Ball. You are wonderful people. I wish I could attach the video of the actual Ball Event. All I have are a couple of pictures of the Ball being set up and tested before the party started. Then there is a picture of part of the crowd. Thanks for the pictures MaMa Derby and Ole' Bishop. Two different people counted well over 300 people when midnight rolled around. For those who slept through the event . . . . . :boom:

I Have a question for my future Gilchrist neigbors. We are packing "The Pod", and keep debating on the lawnmower. How many of you do the lawn yourself...is it worth keeping? I hate to give up valuable room in the pod if we are going to end up hiring someone to do it anyway!!

Thank you for the welcome. We are very excited to get there - especially after about 6 more inches of snow yesterday here in good ole PA!

Lawn mowing service is not expensive in TV but you get what you pay for. The services will not usually be as good as if you do it. If you are picky about your lawn and plants do it yourself, if not, you can easily find someone to do it for you.

[steve0010]

50-70 month in the summer and 25-35.00 in the winter months, you can get fertilizer service 390.00 year superior.
I paid more for fuel in the north then i do in the south to get it mowed, sell the mower to the neighbors , you will want your garage space in the villages. no sheds allowed.

Pod is PACKED...(with the lawnmower IN it...) and it heads out on it's way to The Villages tomorrow! We don't head out for another week.... going to be fun living in a relatively empty house for a week..but the reward is on the other end! Luckily, our house down there is a furnished model, so we still have furniture here till the stepkids take it all in a few days. Then ..well... should be interesting!
See you in a little more than a week!

Just moved into the Gilchrist community a few days before Christmas. Needless to say the people/neighbors are just great! We attended the NYE Ball celebration and were already included in various holiday festivities. We made the right decision in moving from the South Jersey area.

[alwann]

Do you know in which section/unit of Gilchrist your home will be located?
The Village of Gilchrist is divided into six "development units" (Units 209 - 214) plus two villas (Atmore and Sharon). "Gilchrist West," is the unofficial name for the western three units (211, 212, & 213), including the two villas (Atmore and Sharon). We "West Gillies" have an email discussion group, a Face Book Group, several golf groups, a dine-out group, and publish a monthly e-newsletter. Heck, we even have a logo. Perhaps you'll be joining us.

[Jaturay]

Greg and I moved into our new home early this month. We are on Eastfield Path and originally from Greendale, WI. I am recently retired from home health nursing and Greg is a CPA and is still working in his field. I enjoy bicycling, walking, and golfing, and am open to try other activities as I find time.

[Dafoe]

Welcome to the Gillyhood! Hope you are staying warm!!

My wife and I are moving into Gilchrist in April. We are closing on our home in February. Does anyone know the choices available for TV and Internet there?

[BigB46]

We, Chris and Bruce, are from Glendale, WI. We are moving in during April after our home sells. Even if our home does not sell in WI, I will be here. Chris will come down later after estate sales and closing on that home. What type of TV and Internet service do you have?

Bruce:a040:

I priced out the pods and the extra charges scared me off. I used upack.com
They provide a metal box with two big doors and the size is 6' x 7' x 8' tall.
I was about 20 % less than a pod, but a bit smaller.
We packed it in Wisconsin on December 31, they delivered it to our driveway on January 6. Worked well for us.

We still have a condo in Greendale. I have a home business (tax work) so, I need to stay here to April 15th also. My wife is on Eastfield Path and enjoying the 60's while I endure the -0 temps here.

We still have a condo in Greendale. I have a home business (tax work) so, I need to stay here to April 15th also. My wife is on Eastfield Path and enjoying the 60's while I endure the -0 temps here.

Will do that. I spoke with a Customer Service Representative from Brighthouse yesterday evening. He said they did not serve that area. How crazy is that? I am very interested in getting that service at our home on Olustee Place.

My wife retired on December 31. I am part-time with a life insurance company in Milwaukee. I will pull the plug as soon as I move my stuff here, which should be early April. We look forward to meeting youse guys!

Greg, I'd like to speak with you to aid us in understanding our move from Wisconsin. Looks like we will both be in WI until April and we could talk over the phone. I have looked at Upack and have questions as to how much you moved and whether TV allows the cubes to be left on your new driveway. I will send you a message.

Hello everyone. This will be the first of many posts. Erika and I have been looking at the Villages for four years and we are making the move. Putting my house in Maryland on the market this week and as soon as it sells we are coming down to buy a new home. This thread is very informative.

[donna.tuzza]

Welcome! You probably feel July can't come soon enough but it will. We are in the village of Amelia. This is a wonderful place to retire. Good choice!

Gone for three weeks and we come back to the crazy culprits of Gilchrist giving us The Bird! I don't mean a nice roasted turkey but instead, an very, very, pink flamingo. Now, if I can just get Dave to pass him along. . . apparently, Pink Flamingo likes the show, "Gold Rush".

Can't think of a nicer guy to get "The Bird" than Fred. Wilma, however, definitely does not deserve it...:rant-rave:

[WVMtnBoy]

This pink flamingo is doing the rounds
It’s going around the village in leaps and bounds

Just shows how crazy in Gilchrist we are
No wonder we spend so much time at the bar

It made us jump when we went outside
We almost let our composure slide

Now we are struggling to solve the clue
The ‘Manfred’ puzzle is sending us blue

Let us hope he finds his way back home soon
Maybe by singing a Happy Xmas tune

As the meaning of Manfred is a ‘Good Peace’
May the message of this riddle and symbol never cease

As it all helps to spread good Xmas cheer
We are off to get another frothy beer
:BigApplause:

Seems as though we now have a Village Poet Laureate in our midst. Is there a title that goes with that??? :jester:

[WVMtnBoy]

Hi MtnBoy and wife! My husband and I just bought a home in Gilchrist. We are moving there next week and can't wait. We are leaving PA and can't wait to become an official Villager!! Our home is on Hackberry Pl. Not sure where your home will be but hope to meet you when you arrive! Chris & Harry

Hi Chris! We're located on Bradshaw at the corner of Kilgore. You've got some great neighbors on Hackberry. Hope you enjoy your time here in our little slice of paradise!

Thanks Meredith and Terry for the bochee / bochi ? lessons today. That was fun.

How do pods work? What do I need to do to find out more? We are moving into our place on Olustee Place in April. We have some time to choose what comes with us.
Bruce:a040:

PODs are great..you get them for a month. You can decide how you want to use that time. We worked backwards..wanted the Pod here the day after we closed. So, they told us they needed 7 days to get it to us, so we worked backwards to when it needed to be picked up..and when we first had it delivered. You pack it yourself. we had 2 weeks to pack...
They have several sizes. The advantages for us were, you can take your time loading it, and you can take however long you need to unload (within the month)

If you're relying on me for expertise, you're in big trouble. LOL. I have posted a blurb on our 209/210 website asking about interest in getting a group together. Looks like there are some who would like to play. Your lovely bride will have to teach the next lessons. She was great.

I have also heard of Upack.com. Supposedly, they offer more flexibility and lower cost.

Hello to all our Gilchrist neighbors! Been a long time since I have posted on TOTV but happy to say that Boiler Dave and I will be closing on a house on Alesio Street in Gilchrist 214 on March 20!!! Sold our house in West Lafayette, IN in January and will close on it March 28 and move in between the two closings. SO looking forward to being Villagers. Just wanted to say hi and that we will see you all soon!

I wanted to let all of you know that Gillyland.com has been opened to all residents of the Village of Gilchrist. All you need to do is register there and you will have access to the new part of Gillyland which covers Units 211-214. Previously, this website was only open to Units 209-210. This is a very good site for posting issues and ideas that pertain to Gilchrist residents. It is a forum and can be used to alert Villagers about impending issues for security or sales purposes. Once registered, you can receive a blast notice that something is currently happening in our village. Please consider joining!
