Hello to you, too, Nice Lady. Hope all is well with you. And Jack, how is he getting along?
Have you confirmed any plans to visit TV soon? I'm sure the good folks of TOTV are anxious to meet you in person. Post some new photos soon; they're always so nice.

tkret......... thanx for helping to keep the singles forum alive..... it's too quiet in here. We need to think of something to stimulate some participation :dontknow:

IDEAS.... anyone :

P.S. UMmmmmmm..... it's very quiet in my neck-of-the-woods literally, and I'm looking forward to the Fall. Next month, a large pear orchard owned by the city of Grants Pass has an Open House Free Pear Picking Day.... and everyone loads up their bags & trucks with pears ! Exciting Stuff, huh ?

Hi CIB & Others,
Yes, let's try and keep this open. I'm sitting at work in Connecticut with my countdown calendar to retirement push-pinned to my wall - 32 days. My house is still not sold, but I have tons of interest. Problem is the interest is coming from people who also have a house or condo to sell first. September promises to be better than August for real estate. Do you still have your home on the market? If not, try again this fall. I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Things are beginning to improve a tiny bit.
The weather is really nice here - high 70s to low 80s during the day dropping down to 60s at night. The petunias are starting to get leggy and the grass is not growing quite so fast. My hydrangea blooms have turned from magnificent bright blue to mauve on the topside and pale green on the underside. Signs of fall approaching.
Hope everyone in TV weathered the downpours. I feel badly for folk who planned vacation during the storm.
Can't wait to meet everyone whose names have become so familiar to me because of TOTV. My appreciation goes out to the many hours our hosts put in to make this happen. Thank you from a soon to be Bonnybrook girl.
And singles....................keep it going......... 024 024 024 024 024

Hi Peazoup...... :2cool:
I've got two questions for ya.......

Why did you choose Bonnybrook Village?

And about hydrangeas.... I need some advice on when/how to prune them. This year mine are not well. Either they got frostbitten in the spring, or someone (not me) pruned them wrong, cuz they never grew to be as large and lush as the previous years (like in my pic). So, do you know when is best to prune and should I cut back drastically or just prune to the buds?

[Peazoup]

Hi CIB,
I chose Bonnybrook because I wanted to be close to 466 shopping and Sumter Landing. Also I had been surfing the different For Sale sites for a specific CYV model and found it in Bonnybrook. And, I wanted a resale as I didn't want to think about landscaping. Plus mine was an estate sale so it came completely furnished. There are some things I will change in time to suit my taste, but for the most part, the furnishings are very nice.
I don't know if this is true or not, but I have heard from a couple of different sources, that people living south of 466 tend to be the younger retirees and people living north of 466 tend to be older. Maybe we can get some comments on whether or not it's actually the case. This, however, didn't make any difference to my decision as I'm sort of in between. I have to say though that I really like the more mature trees and landscaping north. I didn't want the new construction because those homes are all electric and I love cooking with gas.
Now - hydrangea - DON'T PRUNE!!! Just cut off the old blooms. Hydrangeas bloom on old wood.

Hi singles and others,

I am still here, and getting ready to drive down to TV for the next 2 months.
Peazoup...what's your timeline...will you be here before the end of October? Hope so, then we will be able to meet in person. :bigthumbsup:
CIB, I know your house is off the market for now, but why not just take a little trip to TV, and meet some of us in person. :dontknow: We would enjoy that.

Hi MD,
Boo - no, I won't be there end of October. I'm hoping sometime in November. This $(*@+?@ real estate market is not making it easy. At some point, I'll have to give up trying to sell and get a tenant in till the market really picks up. I think it's beginning to pick up - this according to my real estate agent. I'm so looking forward to meeting everyone. What's your timing?

[ConeyIsBabe]

Peazoup..... thanks for the information. I agree with your reasons for choosing Bonnybrook, I might like that area also - along with the historic district.

mdBlondie...... :dontknow: No plans to visit TV as of now, but anything is possible 8) I would certainly like to meet everyone who I have communicated with at TOTV so I'm motivated to continue hanging out with y'all.

[tkret]

Hi All,

Nice to see this forum staying alive. I will be in TV from the 12th thru the 16th meeting with two Realtors. I really don't anticipate anything but you never know. My original intent is to wait until Spring/Summer of '09 but it's important and helpful to see what's what now.

Redwitch and DickY were kind enough to advise me to notify them prior to my arrival and, hopefully, I can meet up with them somewhere. Md, perhaps you can, too. Our day is coming everyone and as the other Singles forum says, "Keep the faith".

[Blondie]

Peazoup, I will be there from this Saturday until the end of October....hope I don't miss you, but if I do, I will catch you in the Spring. :bigthumbsup:

CIB, we will keep pestering you, and hope you give in and and come for a visit. wav

Tkret, let me know also when you will be in town ....we can all get together.

Great idea mdblondie. It will be fun and educational to exchange opinions. It will also be so nice to meet in person. I'll send a "pm" prior to my arrival. Of course, either of the town squares during the entertainment is probably the best place and time to say "Howdy Neighbor". stay well.

[DickY]

TKret, let us know when you will be there and we can set up a time to meet, usually by thee clock at LSL during entertainment. MD Blondie, don't forget the monthly luncheon at Crispers on the 19th of September.

Thanks, again, DickY. I'll "pm" you prior to my arrival and then again when I'm in TV. Should be great, indeed.

[Blondie]

Hi DickY, I am looking foward to our next Crispers luncheon...perhaps I wil ride my motorcycle there. 040 , but I hope I see you all before the next luncheon.

hi peeps,

i feel so out of touch as i have been moving from north dakota and finally arrived here in hemingway village last wed. night, with rain from fay to greet me...my friend from nd has been helping me hang pictures, etc and we are both exhausted....if anyone is meeting by the clocks at LSL any time soon, please clue me in as i would love to meet whomever i can. i am taking advantage of the free wireless service at my neighborhood recreation center to finally get back on line and say hello to everyone...i love this place! since i am not on the computer daily, feel free to call me at 406-480-1945. my little place is still a mess of boxes and sans a dining room to sit at but would love to meet at the square for the time being.

would like to recommend S&S painters who did a very nice job painting my interior at a very reasonable price....they advertise on this site.

hope to see some of you very soon....
