I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Graciegirl for hosting a delightful meet and greet yesterday where many of you came and shared your lives with a few of us newcomers. I think we expected to be there for an hour and didn't leave until almost four hours later. This type of hospitality is certainly a part of the Villages and the special people who live here. Thank you all. Newcomer on Friday.

It was nice meeting both of you yesterday. Good luck in your new home and welcome to The Villages.

Thank you sooo much, Gracie. I am finding that being in the Villages allows me less time for TOTV. Tim and I had a great time. You are a most gracious hostess. Loved meeting everyone there and would have loved to stay longer, but the mortgage company called. Hope to see you all when we return after the first of the year. Happy Holidays to all.

Hope your house closing on Friday goes well. My wife and I can't wait to see your new home! Also, it was great to meet the legend "Gracie" and all the other TOTV members.

When we return again after the holidays here is what I am hoping...

That somehow we could have a nice breakfast with both of our bright minds and sweet people journalists in attendance; bkcunningham and PTurner. I will make the cassaroles, Sweetie will run the sweeper and Helene will dust and we will invite anyone who wants to, to meet these two lovely girls. I want to sit back quietly and listen to the conversations on that wonderful day.

I have had the pleasure to be with PTurner, and she is the most charming southern girl with a little zing of her own, and the kindest heart. I have yet to meet bkcunningham but I know I just love her already.

Jot down...Sometime in January...girls, please try to be here at the same time.
