Hey HotRod, you home yet?????

To answer your question, yes, I am now in the north burbs of Chicago! Got in about 7:30 last night. But am I home??? Hell no! Home is now in Gillyland with y'all! Can't wait to finish up business here in the cold, cold northland and head back down to the warmth of friends in TV! then for sure I will be home again! Miss everyone and look forward to my return ASAP
Carol, very glad to hear you are safely back in CHI burbs. We will be making that drive soon enough. It seems somewhat quiet without you and the girls. No little doggie girls to pass by and say hi. Miss golfing with you also.
So hurry up and get all your work done and come back home. Hi to Jill.

I cant believe that I was 10 pages behind in readking TOTV. Could we get a petition to have the Villages build some houses next to us! We are by ourselves practically.

Jimbo thanks for all the info on sprinkling. Our garden is looking so nice I would hate to have it shrivel and die.

Glad to hear you are golfing Wendy and Andy. You will be so good when you return home. I better get more lessons. I have been so bad at hitting the weensy little ball. I am going to get some lessons that giichrestcruizers mentioned. Any one want to join me?

Mike and I have been playing Mexican train dominoes. If anyone wants to play, give us a call. It is fun and easy.

Welcome new gillys. We look forward to meeting all of you. If you like to golf, Mike and I have anyone looking to golf over to our house. He has set up a spreadsheet for golfing foursomes. We will be meeting at 7:00 on Thursday at Mike and Gayle's house.

Program B is my turf, Sunday, Tuesday & Thur (then 2 days dry) 12 minutes on sprays and 20 on MP rotators, starting 4:40 and again at 6:45 so twice a day on those 3 days.

Program C is all the plant beds, Monday, Wed & Sat, 5AM & 7AM for 12 min each time.


I intend to leave those settings all summer into fall before cutting back.
Thanks so much for this information--I just got a message from our lawn guy that we need to water more and of course with Jim still up North I really didn't pay too much attention to the sprinklers or setting them when the house was being built. I'm going to have him read this and then attempt to rest the zones--yikes!

Gayle, perhaps Mike can put his golf programming app into action setting up teams of Mexican train.

It was great fun plying with you guys last week going by the correct set of rules.

Default Chief Rose returns to Gilchrist

The Gilchrist Welcoming Committee went to Sumter to pick up Rich at the airport shuttle tonight. We came prepared with signs and all:

Everything was going fine until we held up sign #2:

Well, our daughter and grandkids arrived this afternoon. Here through the weekend, then in and out for the month of June. Glad to have them, but it will certainly impede our ability to play golf and Mexican train (we also enjoyed playing that back home).

Re-landscaping project is nearly complete - just one more minor adjustment to the irrigation. Nothing fancy, just new sod and plants around our much enlarged lanai. Glad to see more green and less brown sand and muck. We will be watering every day for the next month or so and are so glad to be able to finally relax and enjoy the pool and lovely summer.

Glad to have Bob and Betty next door this week. Can't wait until they move here permanently. If you haven't met them, you should.

Welcome back Rich! Hope to see you sometime while you're here.

We miss you Carol! Things sure are boring without you and the doggies.

We also have a design meeting on July 9th, and also in Villages of Gilchrist, but unfortunately we're not moving in for several years......just building now and getting ready for retirement. Will look for you when we move in!

We've already got a rental residence lined up and can't wait to become official Villagers. We hope to be there by mid-July if the closing on our home goes as planned. If anyone else is going into Gilchrist please stop by and give us a post...

Can't wait to see the finished product! I'll bet it will be awesome and I see some parties collectively in the future. Have fun with kids and grandkids, don't get worn out, and keep us all posted on your progress.

to you, and be sure to stop in the neighborhood when you arrive for your meetings! Just sorry you are waiting to move in. Chances are that may change once you realize what a wonderful enclave we have in Gilchrist! Just ask Twin Spin and T&T!!
