Welcome to a new FROG!!!
 
Graciegirl had the closing on their new home in TV yesterday! So she and her family (including their two cats.....) are now officially FROGS! Congratulations!! :pepper2: (Can cats be frogs, though? :1rotfl: )

Maybe Sandy and I will get to that point someday.......

Bill :)

Wow! At last! Congratulations! (Ribbit!)

graciegirl 09-22-2011 09:23 AM

Oh Bill, thank you, and to all of our TOTV friends and friends we haven't met, please stop by anytime at Wake Forest Lane. There are only 8 houses total on that street so it is easy to find us.

Two of our cats don't mind being Frogs but the other one wants to be King.

The previous Talk Host and my friend Karen said not to put the house number or I would.

Congrats Gracie. It couldn't happen to a more wonderful family.

Ribbet, Ribbet, Ribbet

I hope moving in goes smootly.

Hugs,

Gracie.... I am so very happy for you!!! Congratulations! It couldn't happen to a sweeter person!

redwitch 09-22-2011 09:39 AM

Gracie, I have faith we can find your house -- you'll probably have something clever on your street sign. I never remembered your old house number but could always find "Havana a Blast".

How about a sign outside that says:

GRACIELAND :)

Congratulations and enjoy your new home. I am sure you will make it a beautiful place as usual. Now you will have lived in the V South, V North and now V Middle. You will be a SME on the best places to live in TV.

Gracie - Congratulations on your closing. :) How appropriate that you live on Wake Forest Lane as I am a proud graduate of that institution.

Also you need to change your header to show that you no longer live in Ohio.

I am new to the Villages.. Soon to be moving to Buttonwood..Hopefully sooner than later...But....... What is a "Frog" I keep seeing it posted on TOTV but have no idea... I have heard of snowbirds.. but not "Frogs". If it is a term only for Villagers than I can't wait to be a "Frog"..:laugh:

wendyquat 09-22-2011 03:22 PM

CONGRATULATIONS GRACIE, SWEETIE AND HELENE. WE WILL BE JOINING YOU SHORTLY. AFTER 3 MONTHS ON THE MARKET WE TOOK YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM TO HEART "'LIST IT FOR THE LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE THAT WON'T HURT" Dropped the price and had an offer in 2 weeks. Closing is the end of October but we are leaving NJ midmonth before the cold weather arrives. Finally will see our new home in Pennecamp. Anxious to meet all the frogs. Pete & Janice

Haven't had the pleasure of meeting you in person yet, GG...but you're a friend in my head already! Wishing you and your sweet family (including the "2" cats lol) lots of wonderful years in your new home. Hugs!

skyguy79 09-24-2011 10:15 PM

An artist friend stopped by and did a portrait of Gracie's new pad! You can see Gracie and her sweetie in the picture, but I think that Helene was playing hide and seek in the cattails!
