Happy birthday month!!! I was hoping to make it last night but was sidetracked by rocky and the rollers. I moved here a few weeks ago finally full time. Not sure I can join you tonight but hope to catch up with the group in the near future.

Good Morning ChaCha.......
Just wanted to say Had a Good Time last night at Paneras..... I Wish You A Very Happy Birthday & Many Many More!! Have Fun this weekend. Just as a matter of information, We discussed Medicare. The Rep at the Staten Island Club was George (Mick) McEvilly C.L.U. He's a Village Resident offered his services regarding any questions with Medicare. His cell # is 352-391-5506. You may want to throw it out there due to the many changes this year and questions some of us may have. Thanks Again.....
P.S. Is that meeting Every Thursday nights at LSL?
Joe.....

I would highly recommend going to the Stetson Museum, especially for the Christmas decoration tour. It is absolutely gorgeous. There are 2 gay guys who own it. One of them does all the decorating. When I was there I think he said it takes him over a month to decorate. He does an outstanding job. It will take between 2-3 hours to go thru the mansion. Caution - there is no elevator, only stairs and it is 3 stories.

I would go in the morning and tour the Deland Home first, have a late lunch, or early supper and then tour the Stetson Museum at night when you can see all the Christmas Lights. Mr. Deland and Mr. Stetson were good friends. The Docent for the Deland Home has much knowledge about both homes, both men, and the town of Deland. You have to call the make reservations for the Stetson Museum and pay once you get there. They only take cash. The Deland Home you can purchase and pay when you get there. No reservations needed.

The Stetson College is also there and even though I've not done it, it might also be worth touring.

thanks for that info, debbie, and also joe about the medicare...i hate this time of year for all those conflicting flyers and sales pitches for supplemental ins....philly girl, we look forward to meeting you very soon! to answer joe's question, no, the meet and greet is only about once a month with the purpose of welcoming newbies like you i hope you made some connections which will develop into good friendships! there is no specific time, just when i get the impression that it is time for another one so you newbies let me know when you are coming!!!

want to recommend the Oasis at nancy lopez pool for a nice friday night, especially for a casual date! nice music, 2 for 1 delicious cheeseburgers with chips for $8.50, room to dance if so inclined also, want to thank newbie Rick for thoughtful gift. everyone at the table wants Rick to post his contact info because he does embroidery which many would enjoy having done for grandchildren's jackets, etc! a whole new career after retirement if you want one, Rick! i love my gift! it says (in beautiful pink embroidery and nicely framed) "Don't count the days, make the days count" very good advice by which i do try to live Rick must have heard me grousing about another birthday coming up
