Meeting at Crispers
 
It was great to meet ya'll and to put faces to the names. It was also rewarding to share my good news about adopting Little Bear. When I got home, I was greeted as the long lost conquering hero - :)
As so many of you said today, TOTV is a wonderful resource for all those questions we have about TV. I was a "lurker" for about 6 months prior to persuading hubby to enjoy a Lifestyle visit. Wouldnt you know, after arranging a "meet n greet" with fellow actors - all through contacts on TOTV, by the end of our second day, we were looking at houses, then lots. We returned to VA being the proud owners of a dirt pile, and our choice of homes to be constructed. OMG, what a scramble then ensued. All that clearning out (talk about Sally Army donations) yard sales, give-aways, and packing, packing, packing. We adore living here, but now have to start all over again with putting our home in VA back on the market. Our would be buyers, backed out. ..... :shrug:There is always a reason, and we are resigned to the task.
Anywho, look forward to meeting all my TOTV pals again next time. Sandra

Crispers
 
A great meeting today at Crispers. Everyone introduced themselves and it was nice to see people in person. When I was introduced I heard no boo's which is a good sign. I met Gracie and her daughter Helen for the first time. Sorry "Sweetie" couldn't make it.

Fun at Crispers!
 
What a nice " meet and greet" we had at Crispers today!
It was so nice to see some "oldies" but especially nice to meet the many "newbies" and share enthusiasm! Thanks KathieI for being a "hostess with the mostest"!

Great! I surely wanted to be there. Maybe in June. Did anyone take any pictures or should I look on the news at 6 o'clock? :laugh:
Any good fights? Any poop for Bill-N? :laugh: How many people? How long did it last? Details, man, details.

Great time at Crispers!
 
I 2nd that!! It's nice to put faces with user names. Looking forward to next month and hope to see some of you around the squares or other activities.

Wasn't it fun... I had a blast. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends here on TOTV. Most people talk about getting great information from this forum,,, I, myself, just love the people...

To those who did come, thank you, and to those who are still not in this wonderful place yet, I hope you can get here soon.

It was so interesting to hear everyone talk about their backgrounds and how they arrived here.

The turn out was fantastic,,, I think Nancy counted about 35 people... Thanks to all for your being there.

CaptJohn 05-18-2012 04:14 PM

Those of us out of town need details, lots of details...........and pictures! :laugh:

Capt,,, there might be a few pictures, they were taken by Villages07 and she may post them.

We had about 35 people, many newbies and a few oldies... No fights,, lol... sorry Bill, maybe when you get here, we'll start a brawl, hahahaha.

We started at 3pm and just about everyone left around 4:30. We sat outside and had a very small sprinkling of rain for about 3 seconds. Everyone stood up and introduced themselves and gave some history about where they came from and how long they've been here. Quite interesting and lots of fun. We'll look forward to seeing you in June....

Hey Capt,,, you're so sweet... thank you, but I think I look too fat... I need to lose some more weight. LOL...

Hi All,

It was so great to meet everyone today at Crispers! I enjoyed hearing each person's story of how they came to land in The Villages. Thanks for the useful information you provide.

Dick and Roz
