I fell in love with my house all over again today.

Agree. The Villages will do for Wildwood what the Villages did for the larger, once rural and relatively poor Sumter County (of which Wildwood is a part).

With apologies to Russ, today there is a P in Sumter County. It stands for prosperity. Look for it to blossom in Wildwood as well as The Villages expands within it's welcoming city limits.

I have no doubt regarding what you said. However, I haven't gone and sat right down and written myself a letter (♫) in over 50 years and I'm not about to start now. What you said also reminds me of an old definition for pajamas. 'Pajamas are something you keep on the side of your bed at night in case of fire!'

My closing today was a piece of cake. I don't think it took 15 minutes. I am now a Villager and happy as a clam. I knew I liked my house when I bought it but today I fell in love with it. I figured out where furniture will be placed and even did a small grocery shop for a few basics. I truly, truly, truly am about as happy as one person can be. Now I cannot wait to actually move in. Wednesday out of Orlando, Thursday into The Villages and a new life. Thank you all so very much for your support last night and today and the warm "welcomes".

Actually that could happen. There is beer in the fridge as well as a bottle of champagne. There is also a bottle of less than expensive chianti on the counter. Nothing to sit on yet but a party could be done. LOL.

Love the RIBBIT. Right back at you. Yes, we'll do lunch once I have my act together a little bit. Sounds like a good plan.
