Hotrod, We, too, want to congratulate you on your closing, hope it went well and that the home is all you imagined! Happiness and joy in it!

Congratulations on your closing. Ours is 16 looooong days away. It's even longer reading about the get togethers we're missing. A-4, I know how you feel.

For all of us sitting at home wishing we were in TV, while the others are toasting HotRod and new friendships at Evans Prairie, let's pour a glass of our favorite beverage and raise our glasses - CHEERS! to each and everyone of the FERNS, GILLIES, LATTES and BELLS!!

Hot Rod

Where are you? Hopefully you found a nice watering hole (you have heat on your poo?) to celebrate. We're all anxious to hear how the closing went.

Wishing you the best !

Hotrod, having a celebratory Grey Goose martini on your closing. We look forward to meeting you soon. Will be building on Hackberry Place.

We sure wish we could have been there tonight. So much to celebrate and hear about. Hope your design was successful. Hope HotRod closed and is happy with her house. And hope you all enjoyed each others company tonight.

Our sequence of events starts tomorrow when I FINALLY retire after 42 years in the Nuclear Power industry. It's a little scarey, but I'm more than ready. Friday afternoon we close on the sale of our house here in TN. Saturday we start packing the house to send to storage so we can move to TV on the 27th. Here we go !!!!

The short answer is yes!

Just got back from Evans Prairie, putting faces to names, what a great bunch.

We are not going to gush too much because it wouldn't be fair to those of us who couldn't make it.

But it was a great crowd and great night.

See you on the 19th, what time and where at?

Hi Everyone!!! What a night it has been. The 1st Gilly Gathering has come and gone and I do believe that everyone had a fantastic time. I know that Janice and I most certainly did. Thanks to Terry Bishop for being our official social coordinator and obtaining some very nice accommodations at Evans Prairie Country Club. We met at 5:00 for drinks and introductions followed by a really nice dinner on the lanai at the CC. We even managed to add to the group when Gayle and Mike showed up. These two were recruited by Andy & Wendy who ran into them and found out that they are also going to build in Gilchrist.

Condolences to those of you who weren't or couldn't make it. This might have been the first but I can assure you that IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST!!!

Terry really surprised Janice, Hotrod and I with our official Gillbilly drinking glass. I've got a pic of Hotrod getting hers and a pic of her holding same. It won't be long until all of us are together celebrating closing, birthdays and just anything that deserves celebrating!!!

Thank you all for being our friends!!!

PS - Freddie, now would be a good time for you and Shawn to jump in and get your feet wet...lol

[WVMtnBoy]

Just more of us having a great time in Gillyland!!!

Oh please Junction...please do gush!!!!

After having so much fun tonight, I'd like to quote a dear friend of mine in describing this area:

"I think this is going to be a cracking good neighborhood!"

Couldn't have said it better myself!

I would be willing to coordinate but it would be easier for someone that is aleady there full time to make arrangements.

And yes, those of us not already there are jealous....
