Default Ok...this is getting pathetic!

I have to stop thinking about The Villages...I have come to see all of you TOTVers as friends. Right now, my Christmas tree is half decorated, I have to go to the mall to shop, I have to show houses tonight to a client and my house is a mess....but instead, I'm here reading and daydreaming. My poor husband...every conversation with me begins with "and when we get down there......" It's great to have all of you for a support group!!!! I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful Holiday Season...Merry Christmas!

Thumbs up TV

Don't feel alone. Most of my conversations with my wife are about TV. Also TOTV. We're getting our house ready to sell and just finished taking down wall paper in out half bath and painted. Now to tackle our kitchen which is about the same size as a Brdigeport or Holly kitchen. Lot's of work but will keep us busy...

Being a newbie wannabe, I already understand! Seems I am checking the status of new homes, resales etc. more than I check my mail. Home is just on the market, terrible time but at least I have to keep it perfect!!! Can't wait to meet all of you I am starting to get to know!!! This site is terrific for learning - thanks all!!!!

You need to be patient. It took us 5 years to become a TV owner, albeit a snow bird. You have already started to sell your home and become Frogs. We haven't come to that phase yet and I don't want to think about what I need to do further down the line. For now, indeed, I am enjoying the warm breeze in the lanai and driving around in the golf cart when the weather is nice. If you dream enough, it will come soon. Merry Chrsitmas and a Happy New Year.

Oh, Trish, I understand completely.... It is fun to imagine what it will be like living here, though it might keep you from accomplishing things...lol.

When we moved in, we were like kids in a candy shop!

Maybe Santa will surprise you.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Default I'm on board!!

Please add me to the "when we get to TV" club! Everyday our conversations are about when we move and how we will build our home, how wonderful it will be to put shorts and sandals on again, to sit out on our lanai with some iced tea.....We dream all day. We just can't wait to meet everyone and enjoy the good life! Merry Christmas everyone!

I know the feeling --we have been doing the same thing since August when we first visited TV --the day we bought --and now we are counting the days until January 11 when we close!
