Hey Gillies, did ya'll stay til midnight? I traipsed to the dance floor abt 10:30 with singles for a dance or two and our dining tables were all clear when I got back where you were not! I thought you got partied out and went home to kiss the dog for 2013, but now I'm thinking you don't seem like early outs from a party. so maybe you went outside and took other tables there? I have to know who I'm partying with here, so fill me in. I lost a contact lens so I couldn't see you if you were there!!

Hi again! I finished my design NY eve about 4. the backdrop of stressors made the whole thing tense, but TV pros guided me thru design smoothly. Look for groundbreaking on amherst, in the middle of the now unbuilt part, with a close 4/1/13. The sweetest words were when the designer (Blessed Mary) said, "You have maximized the lot and could not have put anything more into your home"....this echoed the intention I had earlier expressed to my agent, Jim Minnelly, whom I have grown to love, "Jim, I can't overbuild this lot. I want to make it my dream house and not ever want to move".

Hi Everyone!!! Last night, Janice and I and approximately 33 other assorted Gillies, Ferns, Lattes and Sannibellians gathered at the Evans Prairie Country Club to welcome 2013. We had a wonderful menu, great food, good conversation and just a drink or two

A lot of new neighbors showed up and you all know how terrible I am with names so I'm not going to even try and caption the pictures.

We did have a short ceremony in which Andy & Wendy Andrews were inducted into the Order of the Gilly Garter. They can now officially be referred to as Sir John and Lady Wendy. They were both given certificates (suitable for framing) to commemorate the occasion. Sir John was knighted by the Lord High Mayor and given the ceremonial blade for display. Lady Wendy received her official Gilly Garter along with two additional medals for being such an outstanding assistant to the head of the Administrative Department (Andy) and for putting up with Andy.

After dinner, the remaining partiers retired to the patio to continue the celebration. Evans Prairie stayed open until midnight when the final 8 hardcore parties sang Auld Lange Sine and bid each other good night.

I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all! Enjoy the pics!!!

PS - For some reason the pics aren't uploading. I'll get them up as soon as the website lets me!!

Your Worship and Lady Mayoress

What a great honour you both bestowed upon us last night at the Gillyland New Years Party, your announcement accompanied by the Court Heralds took us completely by surprise and as everyone will see by the pictures when they are posted, we were overcome with emotion!

Please, please don't treat us any differently now we have the title, no bowing and scraping, underneath the pomp and ceremony we are still the same people;

We feel that the night was a great success, just a pity that a few more didn't stay the course to see the New Year in with the 'Hard Core' party goers, but the main thing is that everyone had a good time whilst they were with us.

Thanks to the band, we managed to get in a round of Hokey Cokey, or Hokey Pokey as you guys say and Auld Langs Syne went down well (twice)

Sorry you were not able to find us later Kitty, we did indeed move to the outside area to be nearer the music after the meal and you really deserve a medal for all the 'goodies' you brought to make the party go with a swing, many thanks from us all, the rattles and horns you provided worked overtime at midnight.

Our very best wishes to all our new friends and their loved ones for a Happy and Healthy New Year.

We are truly blessed to have found this place and all you great people to share it with.

Sir John & Lady Wendy;

I have, I think, successfully added a page to Facebook for the Gillys of Gilchrist. I've posted the pics from the New Years Eve party at Evans Prairie CC. If you're on FB, please go on and tag yourselves in the pics. My mind is mush and I'm sure I'd make a naming mistake if I tried to do it!

Let's see how this goes...

what's the FB name?
