NY Sky to Merge with FL Sunshine
 
No, there's not going to be an atmospheric phenomena happening!

This morning Atlas Movers were at our New York State home and loaded their trailer with our belongs. In the morning we will begin our trek to TV, my wife, kitties and a friend in one vehicle driving the entire 1200 miles and me with the other vehicle taking the Autotrain from VA. Our NY home will be on the market Nov 1 and I'll soon begin recovery from the nervous breakdown! :shocked:

So Mr. and Mrs. Skyguy will be meeting up with the Florida sunshine within the week!:clap2:

pooh 10-14-2011 03:26 PM

Hooray!!!:MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

Hurry home...and you can recover from your nervous breakdown with the rest of us who've managed to survive!

CONGRATULATIONS to our newest Froggies!

RichieLion 10-14-2011 03:30 PM

I agree! Travel safely. The weather has been great in TV the past couple of days. No rain. 84 degrees. Too bad I'm going back to Chicago tomorrow :(. Best wishes as you transition to Froghood. :wave:

Gracie, I told my kitties that your kitties want to meet them. Pixie responded by signaling me to scratch her belly and Copper indicated that he's resting an doesn't want me to bother him! LoL Seriously, I know that they tell that something's happening because of the missing furnature, but they have no idea what's about to happen to them... three days of... La Cage aux folles!

Thanks Bill. Thankfully we didn't need to sell the home up here first, but we certainly don't want the sale to linger or the market to drop even more than it has in the last couple of years. Just in that time it dropped on our house by about $40,000. Anyway, have that popcorn ready for when we meet! :1rotfl:

Arrived here in VA yesterday and I'm now alone in the hotel near the Autotrain terminal, sequestered (or should I say quaranteened) until I can board tomorrow afternoon! Then on Tuesday the final 45 minute journey to our new home! ALL 'BOARD!!!

Not much longer, Joe! Have a wonderful train ride and a safe drive to your home and family.

When does your stuff arrive in TV? Ah, you'll get to experience one other joy ..... unpacking! You'll have to postpone that nervous breakdown....you won't have time right away.... ;)

Our stuff is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, the same day I do. My wife and a frend are driving all the way through with the kitties and should be there by Monday sometime... if they resolve a tire problem they're having. I just received a call from her and they're looking for a place to get it done!
BTW, the nervous breakdown only affects me when I'm awake! http://www.myemoticons.com/images/em.../nervous-2.gif

gage405 10-18-2011 05:55 PM

I was on the auto train last night too. Not much sleep because I didnt
have a berth. But, it does get the job done!
Hope your train ride was good.
I met two people on the train from PA who live in the Bainbridge villas in Hadley.

Holy crow... my home is right near the entrance to the Bainbridge villas on Rhapsody. What a coincidence! I wondered if anyone was from the Villages but didn't meet any. You'd possible remember me, I was the big guy with a pony tail in a wheel chair and I was in the last sleeper's H room on the train. Anyway, I did have a fairly decent sleep, better than I usually do!

gage405 10-18-2011 06:47 PM

I rented a house one time on Dunkirk Trail. I like Hadley a lot.
I dont remember seeing you. I dont even know where the
sleeper cars are.
But, I will next time because I am going to book one for the return
trip next Spring/Summer.
I had to wait about 45 minutes for my car and I got to The Villages
a little before noon I think.
Still kind of spacy from the trip, lol.

LvmyPug2 10-18-2011 06:52 PM

Congratulations and welcome to TV!

angiefox10 10-18-2011 07:03 PM

Yeah!!
 
Glad you hear you made it OK. I was about ready to call the Posse!!

It's beginning to look like you and others may have brought us good luck with your well wishes. As I stated in the OP, our house goes on the market on Nov. 1st. However, the agent contacted me during the beginning of last week and said that the house was ready for showing and they wanted to move it up to what is now this past Thursday.

Here, now three days after listing we get an acceptable offer and have another that has looked at the house a total of 4 or 5 times already. Might we have a bidding war in the making? :clap2:

BTW, if anyone wants to see the house we're selling's listing, PM me and I'll provide you with the web address. (no need to make an offer first)

It has to be beautiful. Yours in Hadley is gorgeous.

skyguy79 10-31-2011 01:21 PM

No bidding war. Other viewer low-offered us considerably! BUT.....

http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...loveshower.gif http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...hoo20Party.gif :MOJE_whot: :clap2: :a040: http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...whoopdedoo.gif http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/fiesta.gif http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...pydancsmil.gif

Day 1: 10/27/11 - House listed on the market for sale.
Day 3: 10/30/11 - Offer made!
Day 4: 10/31/11 - Bank pre-approval received, offer accepted & executed.

Can't happen much better than that... pending successful inspections and final bank approval of course!

Now we'll be able to apply for our full Froggie Certifications!

Forgot to mention: Hope some of this luck here rubs off on those waiting to sell so you can join us here soon... REAL SOON!

Thanks! But you wouldn't be saying "The hard part is over" if you saw all the boxes that we have remaining as well as picture hanging, relaxing, furnature re-arranging, relaxing, organizing, relaxing, etc., etc., etc!

You'll never catch me doing that Bill. Don't have a golf cart... and no plans in the immediate future for one anyway!

pooh 10-31-2011 02:57 PM

Wow, that was fast! CONGRATULATIONS!

Don't worry about the unpacking....well, listen to me, it's not me doing it..... ;) Alas, there is no unpacking fairy that comes with each new home...wouldn't that be nice... ;)
