A thank you note to all
 
Folks.

When we visited last summer, I said to the wife ..this place is a Potemkin village...no place is this nice.

I was wrong.

The people I met on this site went the extra mile to be kind and helpful.

We are finishing up the paper work on the ole home and should be in the Village in a week or two.

Thanks and the lord look after you all.

Welcome
 
Welcome to Shangri-la! Hubby and I have lived here for 16 wonderful months. We have a lovely home, great new friends who feel as though we have known them for years, many new hobbies, and an active lifestyle. I just know you will be happy here. Welcome, again. Sandra
