Default Finally a Frog and Frogette

The husband arrived last week searching for a home. I arrived day before yesterday to view his discovery. We signed for a home in Tamarind Grove on Odessa Circle yesterday. We close Jan 3, 2012.

The husband did a fabulous job too. Dang I love this guy! Husbands rock!

We have finally become Frogs. Now the fun begins, decorating, golfing, dancing and enjoying The Villages.

Thank you for all your posts and support.

Default Gardenia

Hi Gracie

We bought a spec home - Gardenia. It's on a corner lot, hardwood floors, tile and carpet. There are many upgrades that we love too. It's been popped out too.

Plus the Yorkies really like the Lanai and yard.

Gracie thank you for your positive gracious posts and support, your perception on life is very inviting. When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

The Village lifestyle, price of a home, tax's, tax's and cost of living. California is so expensive, congested and I love this community. By moving here, we were able to retire many years earlier.

My Dad lives in Virginia Trace too. It will be wonderful spending time with my Dad, he's 82 today and still 100% active.

Great for you on being able to retire earlier !

Our daughter lives in San Diego, and we would LOVE to be out there, but you are right - it is VERY expensive.

Congratulations !
