When I told her about you getting the lot it all made sense.

Boy . . . . if you guys only knew what you're getting into with me . . . . . Are you sure Janice wasn't hearing ROCKY TOP ? I've never gotten a Hallelujah before

Yikes! It's hard to keep up when you've been a bit of an absentee member of late. So much news, so little time!
Twin, your place is really coming along now and looking fantastic after a bit of a slow start! Good to see so much progress!
Rusty-love the Prarie style Frank Lloyd Wright inspired glass! What an awesome thing to do! Can't wait to see that in person.
Trish, hope you find the perfect lot in Gilly! I bought May 9th and my meeting was on Sept 6th. So 4 months out. They were running behind at that time, so not sure about the current situation!
Two days ro close! Can't hardly believe it's almost here... See you soon!

A few weeks ago, we found two old, stained glass windows at the antique mall on Rt 44 near Wildwood. We bargained the price down and took them home. Then we had to figure out how to hang then with a back light. We finally decided to build a frame and put a small piano type light behind the glass. I finished up the windows this morning and got them hung. The pics aren't great because of the lighting but they look really nice and give the lanai a homey touch.

Enjoy
Hi both, the stained galss looked good when we saw them the other day, but the picture really shows them off and what a great idea!

Met Bob and Cathy at Paddock Square tree lighting last night, another great couple, lively and sharp.

Almost missed each other because we don't have a US phone yet and Bob was trying to ring us, but couldn't get through and we couldn't understand why he hadn't rung and finally rang him.

The number on the spreadsheet is our UK one, so if you don't have international call package you can't ring us, but you can text us on that number.

Thats two couples we have met, Rusty and Janice and Bob and Cathy, both great.

Bumped into a new lady called Kitty taking pictures around the neighbourhood, who is buying a lot on Amherst and told her about the site and the 'do' on the 5th, hopefully she will come.

Whilst we were waiting for Bob and Cathy to arrive last night, we saw Kitty again!

Called to see the new Recreation Centre at the bottom of the road and there bumped into another prospective neighbour called Suzy and told her about this site, hope to see her on soon.

Then two nights ago we were in Crackerbarrel and sat at the bar at the side of a Bob & Diane who have a house at the bottom of Amherst, they didn't know about this site so they gave us an email address, but when we tried to use it, we got a bounceback - must have wrote it down wrong!

What a small world.

Can't wait to meet everyone else.

You've come to the right place for all things Gilly! If you have any questions about your design meeting, just ask away!

Have fun being a GilBilly!
HI! Nice to hear from you. I'll be at the gathering the 5th if you are there, will be good to meet.

Rusty, your windows look beautiful, would love to see them in person sometime.

Hotrod, can't believe your closing is finally here tomorrow, wishing you much happiness and many healthy years in your new place.

Twin, now if they are painting, it should move fast. Beautiful.

Junction29, sounds like you are getting acclimated. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, we will also miss the Dec. 5, drinks and dinner, but I have a feeling that is just the start of many future gathering. Enjoy!

Kitty, welcome.
