That advice cannot be overemphasized. It is almost unbelievable how many times people have done things soon after they moved in that they had to re-do not so long after. As you have already seen here, there are plenty of people who can steer you toward reputable service people and away from those that seem to prey on newbies.

I have to say - it seems as if the advertisement "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" does seem to apply. I have experienced so many very kind people willing to take a minute and talk to a newbie. Thank you all again.

DianeM -- Just a wannabee, so I can't offer you any advice. Just good luck with your upcoming move and enjoy your froghood. I have been to two houses on Amherst -- what a beautiful neighborhood you are moving to.

Thank you so much. I'm nervous and quite scared actually but I believe I am making the right move. I do love all the support from folks I don't know yet. It's amazing. Is there something in the water? LOL.

DianeM, I just sent you a PM.

Just want to say a big thank you for the link to trash collection schedule and recyclable list. Moving in on June 18th to Pinellas Cedar Grove from Texas. We really appreciate all the great posts on TOTV. I'm sure that we will have some fabulous new friends soon.

Hi Diane and welcome to TV!

For replacement African violets you might want to stop by B&K Plants at the farmers' market at Brownwood on Saturday. They are the ones on the south end of the market at the cross street. Rob and Donna have some lovely miniature violets and Donna will try to find whatever you want, color-wise. Check out the Kermit African violet; pale green edges with white blooms with pink centers. Love mine. They carry lots of great flowering plants, some hanging baskets and feature nice, healthy plants.
