It's Buttonwood or bust -- we're still working on loading the truck, but we leave in the morning. It's a two-day drive from Ohio (the first truckload a few months ago turned into a 3-day ordeal because the rental truck broke down -- but I digress.)

Unloading in 60 degree weather won't help but be better than the mid-20 degrees we've been loading in. (Husband=Superman. I have to be at work today ) We'll just be happy to finally be in TV!!

I'm stressed -- but blessed!

Won't be able to get on the computer for awhile, so Merry Christmas to all in TV.

Good luck and safe journey. It'll be better then the 95+ we had packing & unpacking. But in the end yahoo it's been well worth it. When you leave the north don't look in the rear view mirror. Only straight ahead too the future.

I remember how excited we were when we first moved into our Villages home.
We lived on adrenaline for the first few months. We drove around in our golf cart, stunned at our good fortune in discovering The Bubble.

I'm so happy for you. Have a safe trip and a Blessed Holiday.

Default Ohio to Buttonwood also!

I moved from Cincinnati area to Valley Oak Street in Buttonwood. Since we are off the first street on the right as you enter off St Chaarles, we called it Buttonwood Heights. Where are you from and where are you going to live now?

Congratulations and have a safe trip.

I lived in downtown Cleveland for a year and I couldn't wait to get away from the winter when the winds came whipping off of Lake Erie and the temperature dropped to - 62 degrees with the wind chill factor.

The following weekend, it warmed to - 58 degrees.

I'm sure you won't miss it.

Happy Holidays.

Hi all,

We have closed on our house in Illinois and will move to Pennecamp permanentely on 12/28. We are somewhat concerned that we may not be able to establish our residency in time to take advantage of the Senior exemption.
Any tip on facilitating this process would be greatly appreciated.

We can't wait to get down to meet you and have fun.

Thanks in advance

Pam and Jack

Thanks all -- it was a long trip, but we made it here safely! Got the truck unloaded, but still have boxes [I]everywhere.[I] It might be chilly here, but it's better than up north!

Lovin' life in The Villages!!!
