Hi Steve!

My name is Angie and I'm a TOTV addict!!! Oh wait... Wrong meeting!

Nice to meet you! Have you been to The Villages yet? Do you know what and where you want to buy?

Welcome to TOTV! I've made a lot of friends here! I'm sure you will too!

Greetings Steve and welcome. Lots of great folks here full of valuable info and opinions.

PS. Angie's in the correct meeting but she won't admit it!
You'll find many of the other addicts here soon.

That would be me. I have been in rehab several times but the total number of my posts betray me.

Welcome to you. There are many fine folks who will soon be your friends.
Here's a wish for many happy years here with us in Lower Paradise.

Welcome, Steve!

Rule #1 for visiting TV - Bring your checkbook!
You just might end up finding a home you like sooner than you think! (Don't ask me how I know! And many others understand this rule as well)

Default Don't fight the feeling!

Steve, if you get the urge to buy sooner rather than later, don't fight it! It will be one of the best checks you've ever written! I am guilty of writing that check sooner....not looking back.

I am a dual citizen. There are lots of Canadians and there is even a Canadian Club. I lived in BC for 26 years, now is Seattle, my husband and I bought a home in TV but we are not there yet. Where are you from? You will love TV. A different way of living.

A special welcome from another Stephen a.k.a. Steve. I'm always anxious that folks respect the 'formal' spelling! I hope you are, too.

Some of the guys in this forum may think that I'm an "old fogey." Maybe because I've been in TV for 7 years! I'm proud of that, 'cause maybe I can offer a word or two of wise counsel!?!?

Default How a-boooot coming sooner

You won't be sorry!....Played golf with a Canadian today, and both of us were taking turns praising The Villages......Good good people, wonderful weather (75 degrees today) 29 exec courses, 10 championship courses and ooooodles and oooooodles of fun.....I'm also an addict of TOTV, whatever you want to know there is someone on TOTV that can give you GREAT advice....Today at Spanish Springs (one of two townships now, with another on the way) had a Cruiz-In, soooo many antique cars that there was an overflow in the parking lots and a bizillion Villagers....This place is the best thing since ice cream! Now get your butt down here!
