Afraid our attempt at humour fell on mostly deaf ears, a bit too subtle perhaps when everyone is so worked up and excited about the building(s)

Now if only we were not too drunk to remember where we 'borrowed' it from, we would take it back - honest guv'
I loved it!!!!

Had to cover up those birds for the night so they didn't freeze their little wings!

Mmmmm....this lends a whole new argument to the Sasquatch sighting. I only know of one resident who walks a dog that has a ever so slight limp every month or so. She speaks with an accent.



Anybody want to fess up???

Save a spot for me, A-4. I'll be your RIO! Oh, FYI, I like the bismark donuts!

Will do. We are going tomorrow. We spent too much time ogling our new house. (we close on 2/20; so close yet so far)

I am anxious to meet your dogs too. I am the ulitmate dog and cat lover or any animal. You will probably hear me say "oh how cute" a million times.

I am looking forward to meeting you. See you soon. Gayle

Absolutely no need to apologize, really wish we could be in Gilchrist too! Sounds like much fun and a bit hectic. We are freezing up here in Rochester. I promise when we are Frogs I will be more than happy to do some event planning! Take care all.

shoot. Can't upload a gif of the pool taken jan 31.
anyway, it's crunch time with my closing April 1. This part isn't fun, packing, arranging finances, thinking about needing to add fixtures, fans, appliances, and on and on! It's a tough time to not have a mate, but I've been divorced for a long time. But I haven't moved many times in my life and its a lot to do at once and I feel nervous about getting it all done...

Well A-4 did U know some idiot put plastic all over your foundation, don't worry I did U favor and rolled it all up, now it's ready for cement.

On to Kitty's house.....well not really a house at all,
but Donald Trumps mini Taj Majal.

We R talking gorgeous, the view must be one of the best around......nice work girl.

Tile work on pool/spa super nice

Default Design meeting and Gilchrist visit

We shared our experience with design which started at noon today when they were to meet their sales rep. They design tomorrow morning and I just found out that they picked a Zinnia model. Good for them. That's 3 of us within 2 blocks of each other in Gilchrist with a Zinnia. After breakfast we ajourned to Gilchrist 210 Lot 117 to admire the lot and their view out the back. WOW !! And then the street party started as half the people on this thread started showing up. So we've got a couple of new GREAT Gilly's.

Good luck tomorrow Bobby & Susie. Tell them what you want and I'll bet you get it
Even after reading all of these incredible blogs, Susie and I felt pretty insecure about our design meeting. But all of that changed when we met A-4 and his better half (B&C)! What an incredible couple... we really owe them! We actually copied many of their genius floorplan ideas, and even changed our choice of a Lantana to a Zinnia. We also met our new next door neighbors who closed on their lovely Zinnia the day we started our design meeting. They gave us some great ideas that we went with as well (thank you, Ron and Sue!). We asked for many, many changes to the floorplan, and we got them all. Our designer, Katie, was terrific, pleasant, and sharp! The entire meeting took 4 days and went very well. Absolutely no complaints.

Of course, the best part of our trip to Gillyland was meeting all of our terrific future neighbors! We cannot say enough about B&C! We also barged into the mayor's house--totally without warning--and he was super! He gave us the grand tour of his wonderful Zinnia. I wanted to camp out in his master bedroom closet!

And, it was such a privilege to meet so many of our future neighbors Friday night at Evans Prairie. We feel so lucky to be moving into this great neighborhood!!! We can't wait to join all of you permanently!

Soooo...you can see why I'm sweating the finances! After a year of not finding a preowned eastern rear view I asked my agent to show me something I could build on. There were two lots left in the middle of Amherst, and that one took my breath away. After paying a gazillion for the lot I wanted to maximize the investment so built every inch I could squeeze. I can't wait to have parties! The full moon comes up over the lake! thanks for taking a peek Jimbo, I hope all the Gillies tromp through there before they lock it up.
Welcome Gillies! 2961 Amherst, middle of the street, left of the 4 palms.
