Congratulations and good luck! We drank the "koolaide" years ago and are so glad we did. This is an amazing community and we are blessed to be able to enjoy what it has to offer. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much!

Yes, that is Jake, he was 6 months there, 6 or so now and a big boy, 105 or so lbs. We are moving into McClure.

We live 2 hours away, so we came down 3 times, the fourth time we bought.

We are actually from North Florida, just 2 hours away, and never knew this was here.

We retired to 11 acres 15 miles out of town about 7 years ago. We have grown tired of the privacy/isolation, so we started looking for something better. We found this place a couple weeks ago, visited 3 times, and bought the 4th visit.

Thank you I think we are going to love it here!

Midnight Cowgirl 08-06-2019 10:29 PM

Congrats. That's all good news.
My offer to "adopt" still holds true (!) and if not, I can definitely puppy-sit for them!

It is our youngest daughter's birthday too. She is a joy and a treasure and we can both take this as a good omen. Our family welcomes you to Lower Paradise and invites you to stop by and visit us when you get settled.

One of the best decisions we ever made. Welcome fellow Kool-aid drinker.

CFrance 08-07-2019 10:54 AM

Congratulations! I think you and your crew will be very happy.

I drank a Chocolate Martini. Does that count?

How about an Espresso Martini? I like those too!!!

If it had a purchase agreement on the other end of it, it counts.:)
