Dear all,
In accordance with the ordanance issued by His Worship the Mayor that ANY Gillylander could call a Gillybration, we are issuing one for Friday the 10th May, at 8pm at Evans Prairie.

It is actually a GoodbyeBration as we are leaving to go to the UK on the 15the May - not sure for how long yet.

All our friends both old (who we have known for up to 6 months) and new (including those we haven't met yet) are invited.

As so many have left for northern climes or elsewhere, at 8:30 pm (Eastern Summer Time, which will give us time to charge our glasses) what about a toast to "Absent Friends", and all those absent friends who are still following this thread, can join us as well - Where ever they may be?

For those of you that have been the butt of our practical jokes over the last 6 months, we humbly apologise and promise not to pull any more stunts before we return (we think).

P.S. I have a video of Kayta decapitating the Pinata if anyone wants to see it. I was hoping for something that could win me 10K or 100K on Funniest Home Video. Turned out to be a little to violent for TV

If you were on FB and in the Gilly group you could post it there. Would love to see it. Please e-mail.

I know the scoop on them rods . . . . . my lips are sealed. All I can tell you is "they are yours now". You have to admit it's kinda weird to be driving around with shower rods in the back of a golf cart.

Okay...what's going on with shower rods in golf carts? Are we going to be forced to launch another investigation into suspicious goings on in GillyLand???

You just never know what's going to happen around here! Yesterday, Mom came flying onto the lanai yelling for Janice and I to come outside. We weren't sure what was going on but found out that we have new neighbors on Kilgore just across the street from us to the west. Mike Yost and his wife started design today. He was a little surprised that I was so glad he was moving in until I explained about the sand drifts that we've been enjoying (some more than others!)

Mike Roberts was just walking by with Beauregard just minding his own business when he was drug into the conversation and found out that Mike Yost was also building a Begonia. Mike was kind enough to take the other Mike home and let the Yosts see his place. What a guy (thanks Mike).

Super nice people and they will be a great addition to GillyLand!

Now I've got more pictures to take for absent builders but what the heck...the last ones were fun!

WELCOME TO YOU !! We are also moving in 214 on the corner of Olustee and Vicksburg Ave...we closed April 10th and will be permanent residents full time beginning May 16 and would luv to meet you guys. We have been in about once a week taking care of after market stuff, but have had fun visiting the last several months and can't wait until we settle. We like parties and socializing also so hope to meet you guys soon.

I bought my house too in Gilchrist. I am scheduled to move on June 5th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm a transplanted New Yorker currently living in Orlando and this is not the right place for me. I'm longing for adults again. Join me for a glass of wine on the lanai once I'm settled in.

I wrote you on your other post too...sure we will join you for some wine (or maybe beer sometimes for Marcy !!! her favorite..). We are permanent on May 16 and can't wait to get settled in and have time to meet some people and enjoy activities. Hope to see you soon..
