Default Our Turn

One year ago to date we bought a Sand lot in Tamarind Grove. Seems like yesterday.

Gracie and our friends on TOTV said the year would go fast. We were so envious of all who had gone before us, settled in their homes and were now enjoying the new life.

So it's now our turn for the last move bundle of nerves show. Looking at the Penske Truck the Car Carrier and what seems to be more multipling cardboard boxes.

Saying Goodbye to the darling GrandKids and their parents. Looking around the home thinking what the Heck did we do. What were we thinking?

Hope it all settles out over the next few months. For all of you who have been through this it is now your turn to chuckle and say "Been there Done that!" For all you new viewers or those soon waiting your turn. Your next.

Leaving tomorrow AM and it's Wagon Ho! to TV.

We too have a home in Tamarind Grove, it's on Carriage Hill Way. It will be one year from today when we will be moving to TV permanently. It's so hard to just visit once a month for a weekend but as you said a year goes by very quickly. Tamarind Grove is a beautiful village and we absolutely love it!

I told you so Herve and Ruth.

So glad to see you become frogs.

Airplanes still fly back and forth to and from grandkids.

Congratulations and wishes for every fine thing for both of you.

We just had our one year anniversary of living in Tamarind Grove on July 5th. In that year we have seen a lot of growth firsthand.

We live on the golf side in Southern Star Villas which there are 88 units. We have one street outside the villas on the golf side, which is Odessa Circle. There are 80 lots on Odessa Circle, and the last lot is under construction and the home is almost finished. That will make the golf side completely done with construction, it was pretty amazing since on my daily bicycle trip I witnessed about 20 of those homes going up.

Welcome to TV from another New Yorker. Have a safe trip. Once you get here time will really fly. Get ready for the next great part of your life.
