Default We made it, we're here!

Our pods were delivered 1 week ago on time, unloaded them have most boxes out of the way, in fact put an ad on TOV and some nice folks took them all. Village of Charlotte, great neighbors. I keep saying Pods, but really it was ABF freight relo cubes that we used. They were great from MN to Ocala, stored for a month and delivered when we wanted. Highly recomend hem.

Anyway, hi to all and I'm sure we will meet somewhere down the road!

I'll bet you're smiling. It takes about 6 months to stop smiling and talking so fast.
It really is all that you imagined it would be.

The fun has just begun. Most of the boxes are gone so you can start exploring more than you have previously.

[emoji443] what a wonderful world this is.

Welcome to inside "the yellow lines"; if you ever see the aerial view of TV at the CDD office at Lake Sumter Landing, all of TV is enclosed within yellow lines. This place is infreakingcredible.

We have been here 2 weeks. So much to do. One of these days we need to unpack. Still haven't been to the grocery store yet. We came from Southern California. Do we miss California? NO!

I did find it was easy to get rid of my boxes with an ad on items for sale. Did not want to throw them away, and they went to a couple that even took all the packing. Can walk through the home now without it looking like a Hoarders TV show!

Will post my experiences and some surprises , most all good as I get time.

As for the kind offers to help unpack your boxes.....please start without me!
