Thanks Rusty. Cion and I feel the same about all of you we met in TV. Makes our move much easier knowing we have great friends and neighbors waiting for us in TV.

CoopersDad and I snuck in and snuck out of Gilchrist...and it wasn't by choice. We had a very limited window of opportunity to get some things accomplished.

Sorry that I missed Carol's visit...but we did get a driveway visit from Andy and Wendy (only slightly embarrassing as I had just pulled an 18-pack of toilet paper out from the truck)...and then Dave and Meredith did a driveby as we were unloading pictures. SUCH NICE PEOPLE.

I only had a chance to give a big wave to the Mayor across the barren sand that lies between our houses.

Spent time with the propane company and the Bright House Cable guy and the builder walk through...and then spent what seems to be a ridiculous number of hours shopping for a golf cart. Looked in TV and outside TV...they're all pretty much the same price. Someone on this forum once said something about saving thousands of dollars going "off campus." If you know where that is, please pass it along!

We are still on target for MLK weekend but that is looking to be just as harried as these past three days...we will most definitely be primed and ready for socializing the last week in March when we get to stay for a whole week.

Carol: if you don't mind people who only travel with 2 changes of clothes, you can probably count Ed and I in for a quick stop-by on the 19th (donation in hand--can't wait to hear details later).

Happy New Year to all!

And Rusty: I vote "YES" for Facebook!

Hi both,

We have just got back (9:30pm) from City Fire at Brownwood, where we took our Grandaughter for a Birthday meal (22!) the food and service were excellent, but we thought the ambiance was a bit flat, although it was very busy.

Glad you have had a safe journey and look forward to seeing you tomorrow night.

Nothing like a good nights sleep after 1125 miles in a rough 24' truck ride towing our car to boot.

Sat morning at 9, three movers loaded the truck, then the car on the trailer, we left LI at 12:00, drove 4 miles and some idiot on his cell phone crossed the line and was headed straight into us head on,: I stood on the brakes and horn, missed each other by inches.......nice way to start a trip.

Started to snow as crossed the bridge into NJ, nothing was sticking just wet and a bit slow till Delaware. Then things got back to a normal pace of 65-70 mph, made to Emporia VA that night 525 miles, up & on the road again at 7, arrived at about 8PM, oh fun.

Our little Miata looks like a mud flap never seen a car so dirty from the rain & snow...

That's why we wanted a drink last night...

Hello all, and Happy 2013!
I've been designing for past few days and without internet. today is my final day before the contract, so closing should be mid March. I'll see all who can come tonight at Evans Prairie. I glanced at a message about FB as an alternative? Pleeeeze YES! It is so much better an interface, and I'll teach anybody to use it who's not familiar with it.
All the best!
Kitty

Thanks Kitty. I do need some FB lessons. Will catch up with you when you are there. We get into TV on Feb 01 and will be renting a villa up north.

To all: Have a very Happy New Years. Be safe. See you all in a month. Gayle and Mike
