Yes. Despite the blustery gale outside this afternoon, the DRIVEWAY/BLOCK/WHATEVER PARTY will still take place. Never fear. Backup plan B is always ready, and so are we. See y'all soon!

Well friends and neighbors...A-4, Jimbo, Mike & myself got together this morning at 9:08 for our first round of golf as Gilly neighbors.

I won't make too many comments other than I now officially suck at two sports, golf & pickleball!!!

I did manage to make a par on one of the par 3's and I believe that everyone else also made at least one par. One warning...A-4's a ringer in the driving area and Mike plays a good short game getting on the greens.

Oh yea! Forgot to mention that Jimbo did manage to get a birdie on one of the holes with a water hazard. Now for you animal lovers out there don't fret. The Florida Fish & Wildlife officer who was called to the scene said that the duck that Jimbo conked in the head will make a full recovery...

After the traumatic events of the morning...the 4some retired to Evans Prairie CC for some much needed liquid refreshment and victuals! I think that a good time was had by all...except for maybe the duck!

Wait a minute, no animals were harmed in the making of the above post.

Great fun for my first round at TV

Jim and Jane Garrison

Not a prob! You'll find out that there is no shortage of Corona or other libations here in Gillyland!

Can't wait to meet you both!

A-4 - maybe you, the Mayor, Flinstones, Jimbo ( if he can get away from his floors) and others can perform a Gillyland building blessing on our lot to make the process go smooth and keep the good spirits watching over us.

This is exciting- Have fun at the driveway party tomorrow.

In order to honor this humble request I suggest that all of us meet at an agreeable time and perform a "suitable" christening of the property aforementioned. How about it people?????

[GilchristCruisers]

A very big THANKS to all who showed up tonight for the Driveway Gathering. I have no idea about the final count, but to say it was a respectable number would be a gross misstatement. Seemed like everyone was having great conversations - including the 3 "mums" in attendance. So glad to finally put names and faces together. Love this group.

And now that we've taken our turn, who's up for March? It's really an easy party to host, so don't be shy?

As I posted before..a foursome had a golf outing this morning and had whole lot of fun. At the Driveway Party this evening several people mentioned that they would like to do a neighborhood golf outing. I also talked to one of our neighbors who had a lead on how all of us might be able golf together. Now, I will warn you that I played very badly today and that golf is much more of a social thing to me than a competitive one.

I'd like to propose the formation of a GillyLand Golf Team (so to speak) that includes both men & women (I'm sure that many women play much better than I do). I'd also like for the foursomes to rotate so that we get to meet each other and play rounds with different neighbors.

If it is, indeed, possible for all of us to play at one location at one time I'd like to know who would be interested in getting in on the proposal and what day you'd like to see us play (at least in the beginning). Now, let me mention one thing...if you're a good golfer and competitive this might not be the perfect match for you. If, on the other hand, you don't mind playing with beginners and don't have a temper but just want to have a good time, please let me know and I'll have Junction29 (Head of the Administrative Dept) start coordinating. Seriously, just let me know if you're interested (names, contact info & day you'd like to play) and I'll start a list. When I get the info about group play I'll try to get something together.

Oh yea...one more thing. If anyone would like to spearhead this endeavor please let me know and I'll hook you up!

This place just keeps getting better and better!!!

A very big thanks to Meredith and Dave for hosting the first Gilly Driveway (and garage) gathering for the neighbourhood, well done, a smashing time was had by all we think, we certainly did.

What a smashing bunch of new neighbours and friends

It makes it that much harder to plan the next fiendish scheme to deliver, when you know that such smashing neighbours will be the victims - whoops we mean participants!
