Default Look out buttonwood!!!

In two weeks I will be seeing the house I bought in July for the very first time; so if you see a white haired couple walking the streets it might just be my wife and myself smiling from ear to ear. Looking forward to meeting a few of my neighbors. Just wish it wasn't for just a long weekend but I will take it. A preview of what is to come the end of the summer!!

We live in Buttonwood, and your description is appropriate for about 90% of us However, we look forward to meeting you, our new neighbors. This is a very social neighborhood. Welcome. Welcome.

Yes I know most people in TV have white hair but I have been white since I was 24 and we may have the biggest smiles while we are there. Yes, Rhinebecks car show is awesome! Maybe I should have just said we would be the strangers walking around the neighborhood-lol

Welcome to Buttonwood. I had an apartment in Havre-de Grace in 1963 while going to school in Bainbridge for U.S. Navy. You'll find this is a great neighborhood and located in a very central area of where the action is.

We moved to TV (Tamarind Grove a block south of Buttonwood) on July 5th from Abingdon, four exits south of you off I-95. If you've been to the new Wegmans that opened two weeks ago, my house was across the street and the assistant mgr bought my house. One of the reasons we sold in one day. I know a fellow from Jarrettsville that moved to Buttonwood in 2010, he's on Harding Path right behind Fish Hawk Rec Center.

I used to play golf all around your neighborhood; Wetlands, Northeast, Rising Sun and Ruggles on APG. Really odd thing is I remember playing golf a year or two ago with a fellow who taught science in either Havre de Grace or Northeast. The only detail I remember was he said he owned two Prius automobiles. I don't think he had white hair, but I've played golf with so many it's hard to remember.
