Default New buyer
Hi all,
We bought our house on June 18th and will close on July 27th. After all of the mover headaches, we should be moved in on the 30th. We are moving from Montgomery AL to the Village of St. James. We have visited The Villages 6 times over the last couple of years and we also have several friends that are residents. So, we feel we have a fairly good grasp on what we are doing. We found the floor plan we love about 2 yrs ago and have been waiting for my official, forever, retirement. We sold our home here at just about the same time, so we were able to press on with the next stage of our lives.
That is probably more info than you want to see in a 1st hello, but ............
We will be going through what all of you have already done, but we do look forward to getting settled in.
Don & Kaz

It is a bit like giving birth...getting here.

But this baby is worth it.

Welcome and hugs. You have made the right decision.

Closed on our home in Hadley almost a month ago - today was the first day I felt like I was home and not overwhelmed by logistics of everything. Might have had something to do with my first experience at the driving range. I think I might just like this golf that everyone else here is so obsessed with!

1st - thanks to all of the welcome posts!

2nd - gomoho - you came to TV without a love for golf? There are many things to do, for sure, BUT !!!! ???

My DW (Darling Wife) and I share a love of golf. She loves tennis and I love big old RC planes. So we have quality time together as well as some personal time apart. We plan to explore pickle ball and .......?
