Thanks for the welcome everyone.
We finally landed in TV tonight. We will get our keys and move in our stuff from the car tomorrow. Unfortunately we found out today that the movers are scheduled to deliver this Saturday, the last day of the 4 day promised window! We will either have to stay in the hotel 2-3 extra days or get a mattress and to sleep on the floor in our in our CYV. BUT we are finally here.

Just wait til you're here in February. You'll be out at night and it can be balmy. You will laugh with delight as the sheer joy of being outside, in short sleeves ,at night rolls over you.. Not every night is warm, but overall I find the winter weather here intoxicating. I love this place!!

Hi Gander! Isn't this fun? We close next Wednesday. We will be staying at the Comfort Suites on Tuesday night. We just found out yesterday that our new beds can't be delivered until Thursday. So my DH gave me the option of one more night at Comfort Suites or "camping" in the new villa. I voted for the air mattress because I just want to be there!!

Love Euchre! Fast, easy, fun, you can talk, requires some skill.....(Don't trump my ace!)We had a Euchre group of 12 who met monthly for 18 years and so did my grandparents.(They were like family) I think any German family has it in their genes. Beer goes great with Euchre and so do high calorie snacks. Laughing and kidding is required.

My mom and I are camping in her house one night while we wait on the furniture the next day. (next Friday, I can't believe it's here already!) We are bringing pillows and blankets and decided to rough it. She'll have her dog with her and it was too stressful and costly to figure out a place close by that would take him (legally that is LOL). We decided on the money saved will go to her new facet head in her kitchen. :bigthumbsup: I think it will be fun camping out, I offered to buy her a new air mattress, but she is stressing out so bad about closet space she passed on the option of a air bed. Those things are comfortable though.

Enjoy your new home!

Still trying to sell our house in Michigan so we can get down there and join the rest of you. Benj, we live in Plymouth (which is just east of Ypsi), but I can't say I've ever had a flaming Jesus before! And you aren't from Michigan if you haven't played euchre! We'll definitely have a large entourage from Michigan at a TOTV luncheon someday soon!!!!!
