Soon to be Villagers
 
After over 2 years we have finally sold our home in NJ. We should be in TV by end of September. Will be having a new home built in Bonita. We are so very excited.

Congrats on your sale. You must be excited. We're closing 9/10/09 on our house on Heath Spring Dr in Bonita. The packing, the yard sale oh boy can you collect a lot of STUFF after 30 years in the same house.

2yrs!!!!; Boy, are you patient. I know you'll be glad to finally come "home" to Bonita. I closed in Bonita on Longbow Trail 2 weeks ago and am loving every minute. My wife and I find we argue a whole lot less here also. We just too happy to, I guess. Congratulations!!!

Good for you. We are really thinking hard about putting our Northern house on the market. I like being a snowbird, exept when I come down here and remember once again how great and friendly this place is.

Ronnie... my Dear Friend....I will miss you sooo much! I can't believe we have had our homes for sale for soo long. You and Ms. Katie are very lucky. Wannabees...yes...I have had mine for sale for OVER 2 years now. I just don't know what else to do. We have lowered lowered lowered...hopefully maybe..mine will be the 3rd to go from our little social group. Guess I'll just have to come visit for now! I wish you a wonderful retirement in the lovely Villages. There is nothing more you can ask for!

Congratulations. It took us 18months in NJ. Where in NJ. We're from Mercer County. You're going to love being here. We've been permanent since early June and are settling in to the home we bought back in December 07, Never expected it to take so long to sell. Good luck and we'll meet you at the Square.

The PODS arrive today, our closing is on Wednesday and we are off to The Villages, arriving on October 2. Friends are sending photo's of the construction of our new home on Boiling Springs Ct. We can not believe how much has been completed. Looking forward to meeting all of our new neighbors, and making new friends.:pepper2::pepper2::2excited:

katezbox 09-24-2009 09:26 AM

Ronnie,

My husband was out walking the puppy the other day and met one of your neighbors on Boiling Springs. They are looking forward to some more people moving in!

champion6 09-24-2009 11:31 AM

Ronnies, Bon Voyage!!!
:crap2:

JeanneBeannie 09-24-2009 03:45 PM

Have a great trip Ronnies! You must be so excited to see your new home in person in Boiling Springs, very nice of your friends to send you pictures of the progress. :coolsmiley:.
My closing is the same day and arriving 10/2 too, hope to meet you soon! :beer3:

Ronnies 09-28-2009 08:28 AM

Getting panicky, still so much to do and so little time to do it. Have to be completely packed by tomorrow noon. The last minute stuff takes forever.
Fortunately, this is our LAST :pepper2::pepper2:move.
Jeanne, we may pass each other on the drive. We stay in Florence, SC at a really nice pets acceptable motel. We have a sheltie. So, if you see a car from NJ with a sheltie, it is us.:2excited::2excited:

katezbox 09-28-2009 08:33 AM

Ronnies,

We are right in the neighborhood if you need anything. Please pop in - the bottom of Heath Springs Drive. You will see the name on the mailbox.

JeanneBeannie 09-29-2009 05:08 AM

Ohhhh Ronnies....I definitely feel your pain
 
I am panic stricken also, yesterday I was a basket case knowing I would never make it out in time. I even offered to pay for the buyers hotel and dinner for one extra night, but they wouldnt even consider it :rant-rave:. So I had a dumpster delivered, picked up my trailer and today we pack it all up (hopefully hehe) and whatever is left goes in the dumpster. Its going to be a very very longggg day! :faint:
You are so right....the last minute stuff does take forever!
Thanks for telling me about the place you stay at, thats one of the most important things I havnt taken care of yet. May I ask what the name of it is and if you have the phone number? Maybe even Nonie and Bernie can join us and we can all have a pre TV party hehe! :coolsmiley:
And if you see me walking two golden retrievers...that will be me.
If we dont meet up have a very safe and enjoyable trip and I will see you in TV! :pepper2:
We are on our way tomorrow at the crack of dawn! :crap2:

Jeanne :wave:

Jeannie, try this link for the hotels in Florence, SC.

http://ww1.aaa.com/travel2/hotel/hot...ngRunning=true

I hope this works. We liked Red Roofs Motels and Quality Inns when we were coming cross country. They were clean and allowed pets. But each city was different. Good luck kids, can't wait to see you over the weekend.

Just remember JB, its almost over and you can relax and enjoy your new life here very soon.

Ronnies 09-30-2009 07:56 PM

We have stayed at the Best Western in FLorence,SC Really clean and not expensive. Includes a free continental breakfast.
We got out on time, the new owners asked if they could move their furniture in, and then, snafu, wired money from their buyers did not show up and our closing is delayed until tomorrow. :swear::swear: Thankfully we are staying at my daughters home. Hope we can get all cleared away so that we stay in Florence tomorrow evening.

If not, we will meet you all on Saturday:pepper2::pepper2:

Ronnies 10-03-2009 12:34 PM

We have arrived. Much to do to get settled into our rental in Mallory. We will be on Boiling Springs daily tracking the progress of our new home. Hope to meet with some of you then.:wave::wave:

villages07 10-03-2009 03:52 PM

Hey Ronnies...welcome to the Villages and your new home (and your second summer). It's a great time to arrive and feel alive. Enjoy!!!

Congrat's Ronnies! :clap2: You must be exhausted yet, filled with elation at the same time. Have fun getting settled in and make sure to take some breaks along the way to relax and visit with your new friends. :D
