We took another step closer to TV yesterday when we put our house on the market. We have spent months prepping it and now the gut wrenching part begins. All we can do is hope for it the best.

I'm still shooting to retire in April 2012. We will rent after we sell and before we move down.

Congrats! It will certainly be warmer in TV! We are looking and starting to realize the quality of life that goes on. Is St. James the newest village? How many more will there be?

I can just feel your excitement. School was closed for two days so I was able to get some more packing done.

I can hardly stand the wait.

Best of luck to you and keep us updated.

We are under contract!!!
Like the saying goes, "It only takes one." That "one" lives near us and drove by our house the day after the For Sale By Owner sign went up. Fast forward to today... all the paperwork has been signed and we are planning to close April 4!

Good Lord, our heads are spinning and we can barely believe it. We are soooo thrilled and THANKFUL.

We closed yesterday! It's a done deal on the sale of our house.

We moved into a rental until I retire which hopefully will be in October. We're calling this a "layover" on our journey to TV.

Next stop: Ansley Path in Tamarind Grove!!!!

Default Nice spot!

Tamarind Grove is a great spot in TV. The lovely Diane and I spent quite a bit of time cruising around there in a golf cart over the winter checking out the Cottage models and the neighborhood.

The view from in back of mail center looking across the field trowards 466A is beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a sign on 466A directly across from Tamarind Grove announcing that a large office building will be built in that field. Lets just hope they limit the building to the road frontage and that the field doesn't fill up with office buildings over the next several years.

Di and I would like a home in TG ourselves. To that end, while I am back to work full time, the recently retired Diane has already started painting the interior of our home in preparation to place it on the market later this spring.
