Villages here we come

[beady]

:bigthumbsup:
We have just returned to NH from the TV and we have found our new home. Yahoo, ;D ;D we are going to be Villagers. Found a great home in Piedmont ( anybody out there in the neighboorhood) and will be down in November to move on in.
I wanted to say thanks to all the bloggers for the invaluable information we have recieved from this forum, it was a great help in the buying process.

[JohnZ]

Congrats and enjoy. Hope your move goes well.

[Donna]

Best of Luck to you!!! Enjoy your new home.. :bigthumbsup:

Hey Beady -

Last one in the pool is a rotton egg!!!!! :hot:

Can't wait for you to join us!!! We are leaving for our trek across country day after tomorrow!!!! We figure it will take 4 days with the dogs but we are allowing 5 just in case. Who knows, we may want to stop and see Graceland on the way down!!!


What style home did you get??

[beady]

Hey Darby,
Thanks for the welcome. We bought a preowned, 3 years old , Juniper in Piedmont. See you all in the pool. ;D ;D

[bamafan]

[TV MAN]

Hey, congratulations beady. Wish you the best of luck. :bigthumbsup: :welcome:


We will be down at end of month for our closing, Looking forward to a new adventure :read:

[Barefoot]

Wow, there are a whole bunch of us newbies arriving in the next 45 days. I am SO excited I could burst.
We must celebrate! We'll have to hold a newbie nude swim some night, no that would be too cruel. :hot:

[beady]

Hey ripwho,
I guess Nancy Lopez or Glenview are the closest. Piedmont is north of 466. Can't wait to arrive and start TV life.
The company I work for is a very service oriented company and has won several awards for being "green". Yesterday at a rally previous to a day of service in the community I won the raffle. I am now the owner of a Honda Metropolitan motorscooter. It is bright blue and white , has an automatic transmition and gets 100 mile to the gallon. Can't wait to get to TV and start "scootering" around.

[Donna]

Barefoot..And I thought Handi was twisted... ::) Newbie nude swim.... :cop:

[rdkent]

Barefoot:
Maybe 40 years ago or so (seems like I kind of remember that kind of thing back then). I don't know about the rest of you on this site, but it's scary enough for me to look at myself in the mirror these days without even thinking about parading around in public.

[TV MAN]

I'm with you rdkent :o

[JohnN]

hey, lucky you, we're about a year behind you I'd guess... but that will come soon.
This is a great forum.

[Barefoot]

I gave all my mirrors to the Salvation Army long ago. I figure when you're over 50, mirrors are not your friends.
Looks like a newbie nude swim is out, Donna, got any great suggestions for a Newbie get together?

[Donna]

Barefoot..Give me time..I will think of something.. :beer2:

[Frank2]

Welcome to the Villages..some more nice people moving in,,that's great.

I hope all goes well for you.

Now, enjoy the rest of your life among friends.

[Barefoot]

I think I can speak for all the newbies ...
:2excited: :2excited: :2excited:

[beady]

:agree:
I do not think excited can even begin to describe how I feel about our move to TV. I have tons to do and lots to plan and that will make the time fly......I hope.

A newbie party sounds like lots of fun, getting to meet all the neat people who have been so supportive would be especially fun.

I work for a very environmental friendly company. Yesterday, we had a day of service to the community and I worked at a local YMCA Camp painting the out buildings. At the end of the day we gathered back at corporate headquarters for a cook-out on company property. Our dining staff fed all 800 of us really well and we celebrated being of service to our neighbors. They raffled off a Honda Metropolitan Motor Scooter, and I won :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: It's blue and white and just a hoot. So, look for me after the 15th of November. tooling around on on the scooter. :bigthumbsup:

[ACME]

Add one more couple to the :2excited: list!! We move down there next week! Although we'll have to rent for awhile, in the end we'll be buying a home there and become true Village People.

We'll skip the nude swiming party though - Yikes! that can't be a pretty sight!!!

See you soon - even though we won't know who you are!

[The Great Fumar]

Leaveing the Great North for the Villages on Monday, Got My golfclubs and my fancy new shorts and sneakers all packed and headed south for the next eight months ....NOW , IF I CAN JUST REMEMBER HOW TO GET THERE...... see you soon.........

[Barefoot]

It is so exciting reading all these posts about everyone heading for TV. Including us! Usually I'm depressed this time of year about the impending winter, not anymore!!! :2excited: :hot:

[Donna]

Have a safe trip guys..See you there..October 29th..10 whole days..YIPEEEEEE :bigthumbsup: :hot: :2excited: :beer2:

[chuckinca]

All this rush to go South reminds me of the Lemmings

[Barefoot]

The geese and humming birds have it right, go South when the leaves start falling! :agree:
Just like Lemmings, we're listening to Nature.

Donna, see you when you arrive, we'll have been there 5 days, we won't be newbies anymore, we be Village people. :clap2: :clap2: :2cool:

[beady]

I am glad to be a lemming,or a goose or any brillant species that knows enough to head south before winter.
Autumn is my 2nd favorite time of year but it has always been bittersweet because it meant winter was next. This year I intend to savor every sunset, the brillant colors of the changing leaves, chilly mornings and evenings, warm days, fall flowers and crisp apples. Then I am going to pack up my goods and head south leaving the snow , ice and bitter cold behind. Nothing bittersweet about fall this year.

[Barefoot]

Beady :agree: Nothing bittersweet about the Fall this year. I will enjoy and savour each Fall moment, especially the gorgeous trees changing colours .. until Oct. 22 when we leave for TV!! :hot: :2excited:

[mom2five]

:2excited:

This is great. Really excited to hear from all my fellow newbies. We arrive October 15th and I can't wait.
