A big "Welcome" too from a Fernandina "neighbor"

[paulajr]

One month from today we close on our house here in Massachusetts, and start driving towards our new life in Gilchrist in The Villages! I can't wait!
Has been below freezing all this week here, and expecting lots of snow tomorrow! Ready to leave!

Love it that we all communicate before we ever get there!

This pink flamingo is doing the rounds

No wonder we spend so much time at the bar

It made us jump when we went outside
We almost let our composure slide

Now we are struggling to solve the clue
The ‘Manfred’ puzzle is sending us blue

Let us hope he finds his way back home soon
Maybe by singing a Happy Xmas tune

As the meaning of Manfred is a ‘Good Peace’
May the message of this riddle and symbol never cease

As it all helps to spread good Xmas cheer
We are off to get another frothy beer

Hey Flintstone ....... wait til they see the New Year's Eve BALL we've built in your garage. Times Square doesn't have nothing on Gilchrist.

What the heck are we getting into. We just closed on a home on the East side of Gilchrist. Coming down to move in, in early January. Me, part time, My spouse, more time. Looks like a really good time will be had, by us.
