You two are wonderful. We all appreciate what you do so much.

My spouse and I hope to make the next one. We have been busy moving into our new home in Labelle. We had been looking at TV for over 4 years. Is there a set date and time for the next get together?

Third Friday of each month, August 21 @ 3:00.

Hope to make the next one in August. I haven't been to one yet because I joined a Friday couples golf group on Fridays at 3 when we first arrived here. I'm having both knees replaced (1st one 7/27) and will be sidelined from golf for awhile and hopefully will be able to come. It will depend on my physical therapy schedule. Looking forward to putting faces to the names on TOTV and making new friends.

I usually go by Jon at Doggie Doo Run Run.

Many people know me there since I have been going there since January 2007. The Villages Computer Club would sometimes make me late for these but I no longer am a Member of the VCC. That is where I learned about Talk of the Villages when Jan (Talk Host) marketed his relatively new site there. This was about July 15, 2007. I joined TOTV that day as there was a contest of whoever got their names into TOTV as members could win a trip to somewhere or other. Not sure of the exact rules but the person that won has only been on TOTV a few times that I recall. At least, the last time I looked for her. I do not remember the name now but I would love to stand corrected.

KathieI even showed up at Doggie Doo Run Run one day without a pooch.

Anyone who wants to meet me, I am at Doggie Doo Run Run just about every day but the time varies quite a bit. I have Beau now but started going to Doggie Doo Run Run with Sport in January of 2007.

And little Beau loves to run with the big dogs as well as the little ones. He's all over the park. (Crosby misses the "swimming pool" since he's been laid up with torn ligaments. But we'll be back in the fall.)

The last count I had was 40. I think the reason there was such a great turnout is because the TOTV Admin sent out an email reminding everyone of the Meet & Greet and from the crowd is apparently worked. Let's see if we can have a repeat next month!!

YOU are so right. Amazing turnout.

But then Tammy J and DougB came in later after their practicie with their wonderful music group, Vinyl Recall. I wish Dr. Winston Boogie could have made it too. Talented folks in that group and very nice people as well.


Because of their jobs in education, Tammy and Doug can only attend in the summer time.


Ellen and Don do such a wonderful job of being hosts to the group and none of us can thank them enough. They are DonH and Bailey's Mom on this forum. Delightful, warm, and wonderful folks.

Hope to see you again at Doggie Doo Run Run.

I will make it to one of these Crispers' meetings again sometime.

I was more than shocked when Don and I got to Crispers and saw the huge turnout. I assume that the email blast from the administrator helped a great deal. thanks so much. We didn't have our name tags because we were away last month and didn't host the gathering. Lots of people there were lurkers on TOTV so they didn't have a screen name but the list I got showed a very large attendance. Thanks to Tippyclubb, DonH57, Patsy and Ken, Marilyn and Bruce, Joyce and Ed, rhsgypsylady, Graciegirl, Helene, Sal, Judycarts, Cquick, Jim and Rona, Irv and Joan, Don, Mattie, Linda, 2BNTV, Sheilaray1947, Snowbird921, Sandy, SusuS, Mjdianne, KaycaGFW, Eileenny2tv, ADR317, DougB and PammyJ for coming. It was a great time and the best rurnout I have ever seen. If I missed listing anyone I am sorry for the oversight.
