OMG, you have just scared the ..... out of us! We will check into this and see what we can learn.

But if I know Champ6, he is listening to some Zeppelin, enjoying the memories and won't even notice....

Seeing all the posts of good wishes and happiness simply reinforces our decision to join the wonderful residents in TV. Where else can you make friends before meeting them in person except at TOTV. We are just beginning our "get this house ready to put on the market" and have lots to do.

Our plans are to have our home here on the market this time next year and be at TV by July 2012. It is absolutely thrilling to share the happiness and excitement of fellow "gonnabees". We add our excitement for you Champion6. We hope to be three months behind you becoming frogs!!!

And you dear lady were my second "friend" on TOTV behind Gracie. I'm honored. Thanks for the kind words.

We will be sure to post our next trip to TV in hopes of meeting many of you in person.

Reading all the posts just excites me even more!!

Pushed the wrong button - sorry!

What I was trying to say is: Thanks to this forum, the kindness of so many great people sharing their journey. This forum has given the husband and I a great deal of hope for our future in The Villages.

You folks are a positive bunch of frogs, you make Californians appear frigid. Please know I truly appreciate all of your posts.

Please send some positive thoughts to get this house sold so we can Frog down with yea all

I started this thread in August 2010 when we reserved a lot in Tamarind Grove. Since then, we prepped our house, put it on the market and sold it. We moved to a rental until I retire on October 14.

Well, today we signed the papers to begin building our Sun Kissed on Ansley Path. We will close on August 8 (yes, only 54 days!). I love it when a plan comes together. I especially love it when the plan includes moving to TV!

And yes... the best is yet to come!!!

We're one step closer...

It only took 54 days and our house is completed. We closed remotely yesterday and can't wait for my retirement on Oct. 14!

During the build, wonderful neighbors and our sales rep took pictures. Here's a link to the picture album. It's on Facebook, but you do not need to be a Facebook user to view the album:

The oldest pictures are at the end.

And yes... the best is yet to come!!!
