Hopefully we will get to meet next time around.

Barefoot

This isn't fair...not fair at all! We have to wait until next April to get together again! I'm so glad we have TOTV to stay in touch. You are such a doll and fun to be around. I'm missing you g/f.

I'LL BE BACK!!!!

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds
 

I was packing tonight and burst into tears and had a good cry. >:( Fireboy doesn't understand. I feel like I've failed third grade and am being left behind while all my friends go on without me.

Oh, for heaven's sake, enough with the self pity. Even I'm getting tired of my bitching. I'll be back in six months. Guess I'll take a valium, eat a quart of ice cream, I'll be just fine.

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds
 

To Barefoot and all Snowbirds and Snow puppies,

I am feeling better about having to leave TV and all my wonderful friends, I now refer to TV as our time share/vacation house. When I think in these terms I know I will be coming back to a wonderful place that I truly love. This way leaving isn't final but a temporary thing.

Another thing I think about is having a party with all or our friends. To welcome back all the snowbirds and getting together with all of our friends in TV who have kept us posted on what is happening. Including the Crab Cake search. ;D Since our group is growing by leaps and bounds we may need to get a room at Laurel Manor - Hyacinth just loves the Manor. ;)

Not to sure who suggested it, but someone suggested a pot luck. So everyone start planning what you will bring. Us snowbirds will slowly fly in and we will have a round of parties.

Do not get me wrong I understand completely how you feel as I felt the same way. At times I still do. We are both extremely lucky - we have wonderful friends and memories. Best of all we will be able to communicate with them - we will not be alone.

This goes to all our snow birds, snow puppies and our friends in TV.

As for the Valium - the drip works faster. Enjoy the ice cream.

Love ya all and can not wait until our paths cross again.

Hyacinth, I'm sure you're right! Once I get over the initial trauma of having to spend the next six months in Canada, I'm sure I will be able to put things in perspective, enjoy the memories, and look forward to returning in the Fall. If only I could stop crying long enough to pack. Hook up that valium drip!

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds
 

Barefoot,

you are not alone in your agony! I am only a week behind you in leaving and Im trying very hard not to think about it until the last minute. Im trying to tell myself that sometimes the anticipation is much worse then the actual thing. Now making myself believe that will be the next step. :dontknow:

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds
 

I never thought I would be sorry to be staying here but the idea of all of you leaving just truly saddens me. I'm ready to ask one of you to take me with you just so that at least I'll have the pleasure of one of your smiling faces.

I've made friends away from the TOTV group, but you guys are so very special to my heart. Please hurry back. You will be sorely missed!

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds
 

I feel so bad that you are so sad - Barefoot and Nonie.......... We've never met, but I'd like to give you a hug. But just think how lucky you are - your wonderful friends are already planning a great party for when you return! That's pretty cool, I'd say! Have safe trips home, and before you know it, you'll need to be shopping for your party clothes!!!

You know, Nonie, it's people like you that make TV such a wonderful place to live.

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds

Please drive carefully. It is very sad, having all these people leaving to go home.

It will not be the same without you all. Hugs. Thank goodness for TOTV, we will meet on line 024 024 and keep in touch.

Re: Goodbye Snowbirds
 

Sam & Beady,

Thankyou so very much for your kindness.Knowing there are wonderful people like you to come back to makes this a little less painful. It was an enormous pleasure spending time with both of you.
Going back to grumpy N.Y will be tough after spending so much time with your smiling faces. :'(
