Closing date is set for March 4, 2009 @ 9:30am and then we're on our way!
At times this venture seems overwhelming and a bit scarey, then I sign onto TOTV, check out today's captioning fun, and then view JohnnyM's Freeze 2 video and say to myself "self, what the heck am I worried about, these peeps are crazier than I am. and also so caring and helpful.
What a way to spend my "Platinum Years"? (We're better than Gold)
Soon to be a Villager for real!

Let me tell you a story.... over a year ago we realized our house was sold in Pa and we had 3 mos to have it empty. Our psychiatric practice was in the lower level, I was a partner in a fitness facility, I had to find a physician to take over my practice and we couldn't move to TV until 3 mos AFTER we had to be out of our Pa house because my youngest son had an upcoming marriage and my older son was graduating from medical school. One nite, while going thru stuff, packing boxes (something we did every nite for 3 months), I slipped a note in a box.... it was dated Feb 22, 2008. It said..."if I open this box in Florida this June it means I made it and this move didn't kill me"... We'll, one summer day this summer I was opening boxes in our new Villages home and I found the note.... we survived the transition and you will too. Was it easy?--->NO. Was it worth it?--->Definitely.
