Re: Where are you from?
 

Hi Scottke: I'm from a great little town you've most likely heard of . . . Lambertville, right on the Delaware (I'm one block back so no flooding for me). I love it here but cannot afford to buy here, taxes are crazy. As I said, I graduated from TCNJ so your area was my old stompin ground. It's sad to want to leave an area you love b/c you can't afford to live there anymore, but, I am sooooooo excited about the prospect of moving to TV.
Great weather we're having (yesterday 82 degrees for a change). Are you living in TV yet? p.s. Leaving for Vegas on Monday. Then on Thurs. puttin' in the river (Colorado) for a 8 day rafting expedition coving the entire 277 miles through the Grandest Canyon. Will check messages when I return, hopefully; I'll return !!!! Ok, think positive, think positive, no danger, no danger. Only issue I see right now is the weather. Appears it will be chilly, of all things, in the canyon during those days!! Bathing in a 48 degree river is one thing if it's 100 degrees outside. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Re: Where are you from?
 

Hi Jerseygirl - nope not in TV yet. Early 2008 is our expectant date. We leave for TV on Friday to see how it is in the summer time as we will be full time owners when we move. Our house has been looked at by 3 agents for pricing but the market is terrible here so we think we are going to hold out and list after the first of the year. Can't wait to be a villager - it is the coolest place. You're right, too expensive in NJ - just can't do it. We are leaving children and 10 grandkids behind. I know they'll all visit. Have a great time on your trip. Your trip would scare me to death. All that water and rapids!!!!! Sign on when you get back. We'll have to meet some day - maybe when we are both villagers.

Re: Where are you from?
 

Hi Scottke: It is sooooo hard to make that decision to leave kids and grandkids. But, I have determined they will come visit, for sure during the wintertime. I only have one grandchild at this point but it is still a hard thing to do. I will post about my Grand Canyon rafting trip. It will prove to be my coolest adventure ever, I'm sure. Hopefully, no calamities, no big storms, . . . and I'll bite my tongue and say, NO INJURIES! I am journaling so will have my notes to reflect on when I return on 8/31. Yes, I'd love to meet up with you are wife someday. Good luck on sale of house. I also have a house for sale and the prospects are not good at all. But, you never know when the market will take a turn for the better. Later . . . . JerseyG

Kewanee, Illinois for me. My husband lived in Atlanta. We moved from Atlanta to Louisville, Ky, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to Irmo, S.C. and then Orlando for the last 23 years. We are looking to buy in Villages in next year. Joe is retired and I will be in a year or less. We are lucky enough to be close enough to spend as much time as we like on weekends in the Villages.

Re: Where are you from?
 

Hi-- Rebekah here....

I was born in Evansville, IN. We moved to what 'use' to be 'the country' (Newburgh, IN) when I was in grade school. I've lived in Anniston, AL, Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda, FL, and now reside in Ingleside, IL (suburb 50 miles North of Chicago-- since 1986).

My significant other is a Chicago boy and never lived anywhere else ... until The Villages. ;) Quite honestly, we never considered ever living in Florida. But then there's TV ... 'nuf said. :)

It has been very interesting reading about the diversity that now have an interest in TV. I love it!

Blessings,
Rebekah

Re: Where are you from?
 

Hello-
Barbara and I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and now live in Dexter, which is 10miles NW of AA. We are snowbirds, and have been since 2001. We have a courtyard Villa in Palo Alto, and love it. The Villages is better than the video. We bought after 2 years of renting just to be sure. We will return there near the end of October, depending on the weather. It sure is nice in Michigan right now, but when the days get shorter, the leaves are off the trees and it gets "gray", we are out of here. Life is good. Hope to meet you all on one of the golf courses or squares for happy hour.
