Default A thank you note to all
Folks.

When we visited last summer, I said to the wife ..this place is a Potemkin village...no place is this nice.

I was wrong.

The people I met on this site went the extra mile to be kind and helpful.

We are finishing up the paper work on the ole home and should be in the Village in a week or two.

Thanks and the lord look after you all.
