Well sure there are other reasons. We can brag to people that we are moving, or live in a gated community.

Seriously, I think it slows down traffic and I like it takes your picture.

Yes, big thing is it takes a picture of those 'visiting' the neighborhood. That helps just in case there is a problem in the neighborhood.

JG, I gotta know. Did you always say "boy howdy" or did you pick it up from "listening" to the wonderful and grand Postest with the Mostest?

Goodnight Gracie. :wave:

NO...no no Don't say Goodnight Gracie. I was on here blathering when I was worrying and we just got back from oncologist and Helene's cat scan is O.K.

This is the important follow up one.

Now I will try not to post so much.:D

I am so happy.:highfive:

Hello Gracie,
I'm so excited about Helene's results. :highfive:
:mademyday:

And don't you dare try to not post so much. Red and I will come after you with everything we've got if you even think about trying such a thing. We won't stand for it. :D

Love,
P

eek, now I've forgotten what this thread is about. Hijack over and out.

I think this thread is about photography and pushing one's buttons.

Great information Villagers. I'll be there in May to buy and this answers many questions I had regarding bonds and gates. Thanks!
Off topic: I wish they had a map of the golf cart trails, but I understand they are on a map I can buy there.

We received a golf cart trail map each time we stayed on a Lifestyle Visit. Ask your agent for one! We keep one in our cart as we are still learning our way around.

:BigApplause:That is wonderful news for your whole family, Gracie!!!! I wish you all continued good results! Enjoy our warmer Midwest weather and PLEASE keep on posting!! I love to read your comments...always insightful and kind!

gracie - Good news re: Helene!! See - all that worrying was for naught. :)

Well, not knowing how to get pass the *&#$% gate, I was "fixing" to call the National Guard to get me through!! "Boy howdy", I was steaming, especially after driving 7 1/2 hours and needing to make a "pit stop"!! As far as "postest with the mostest", didn't know that was someone's favorite phrase. Don't want to infringe so I'll defer to another. :smiley:

Since I'm a "registered redneck" (certificate #1027), I was about to pull a "hold my beer and watch this" and make a new path around the gate! (just kiddin' folks). Thirty-eight years in the military taught me better than that. I'm a rule follower of the grandest order!

But, thanks everyone for clarifying the gate issue. I do realize this isn't the first threat on the topic.:ho:

Boy howdy! ;)

Could that have grown out of an expression from many years ago used when entering a room.... Howdy Boys..............

Boy Howdy!!
 

Some additional insight.......FWIW -
