Kitty, (def not Tom)
Who says football is masculine? <LOL>

There's an interesting case going on in my neck of the woods of a co-educational football program in the elementary grades. However, the Archdiocese will not allow a girl who wants to continue to do so beyond fifth or sixth grade.

Personally, I must admit, I wouldn't want my daughter on a football team. Then again, although I love the sport, I might be fearful of my son participating as well.

Although my kids are now grown, people always assumed the athletic one was the boy, when in fact our son excelled in the performing arts (what a voice!) and our daughter was the jock.

Then it will be hilarious if they speak to my two pugs. Their heads will be cocked so much they may strain their necks.

I was by your future home site this morning taking pics for another future GillyLander. I noticed the little red flags. That tells me that moving some sand is in your immediate future. I'm so glad for y'all!

Default Gilchrist 209.47 for SMills

If you any thoughts on these, I would appreciate it. I thought I would have some lot numbers to give to my sales rep before coming down so that he could see if they are still available. Jim and I are looking forward to meeting all the Gilly Characters! Be well and enjoy another beautiful day in TV!! We are waiting for our snow to arrive this afternoon. . . .
Hi Guys! I've finally gotten around to taking pics of the lots you requested. I'm slow but usually reliable!

209.47 is four houses away from us in the curve on Kilgore. This really is a nice lot although it is pie shaped meaning that the front of the lot is narrower than the back. It may be hard to put a golf car garage on the house because of the lay of the lot. The elevation also falls away from front to back and this would cause you to have a really nice view from your lanai. It may make the back part have a high wall. The people two houses from you have the same situation and they stretched the garage 5' to make up for the loss of the GC garage. The have a fantastic view facing west from the lanai.

Default Gilchrist 210.94

Okay, These pics are of 210.94 which is on the corner of Amherst & Brinkley. It has a west facing lanai which I think will tend to get hot in the summer. It really is a beautiful lot and you may have a glimpse of the golf course through the homes on the other side of the road. That is probably why the lot has a premium of $22K. Either this lot or 209.47 would put you right in the "thick of things" as far as GillyLand goes.

Default Gilchrist 210.157

These last pics are 210.57. This is a nice corner lot on Olenda Dr. just past Bluebeard Court. You're literally just over the hill from the 209 lot. It looks like a nice big lot with plenty of room and you shouldn't have any problem putting in a GC garage on either this lot or the other 210 but that's just from a first look. The lot maps that ChiefRose sent you would probably give you a better idea of what may go on the property.

Honestly, they're all nice lots and you probably couldn't go wrong with any of them. My personal choices (in order of preference) are 210.94, 209.47 and 210.157 but that's me. I know you'll pick whatever is right for you!!!

If you need anything else, please let me or the Head of the Administrative Dept (Junction29) know...

Hi Kitty,

A couple more pictures of your 'castle'

Spoke to the workmen yesterday (Sat) and they said the concrete raft will be poured Tuesday.

It will be so big we are thinking of organising a How-Down for Tuesday night.

They build so fast we will probably only have the one night to do it - is that ok?

All the jobs His Worship the Mayor is landing me with are starting to cause marital strife with His Worship the Mayors Administration Departments Head Administrative Assistant's Assistant, as I just dont have time to even wash the pots now (at least that is the excuse!) - I must try and get the hang of this Dishwasher, perhaps that would help.

Default January Birthday Party

Dear All,
The Greater Gillyland January Birthday Party, kindly hosted by Hodrodgirl went off a treat.

A few new faces appeared and everyone had a great evening with copious quantities of food and drink available, including an excellent Irish beer.

CalcTeacher appled her considerable mathematical ability to help improve my playing card reading skills.

I am now up to about a 80% success rate, once I can get to 99%, its off to Vegas to generate funds for the Gillyland Jimbo2012 Bail Fund, hopefully in sufficient quantity that even our Finance Director, A4-Skyhawk, can't waste it fast enough on Corona.

CalTeachers 'significant other' still looks a little bemused when the subject of Toilet Rolls is mentioned, little does he realise that if it were not for the level headed thinking of His Worship the Mayors, Administrative Departments Administrative Assistant's Assistant, then the Supermarkets around TV would have had a rush on Toilet Paper, that would have undoubtedly left some people caught short.

To cut a long story short, when we first met CalcTeacher and hubby, they had just arrived and were unloading 123 multiple packs of toilet paper (ok, i might be exagerating a little) and of course i immediately thought the worst and said to His Worship the Mayors Administrative Assistant's Assistant "do you think they know something we don't?, is there a shortage of Toilet Paper in Florida? - otherwise why bring 246 multiple packs of toilet paper (ok, i might be exagerating a little)?"

I then went on to say that we could always use the previous edition of the Daily Sun, cut up in to small squares, to which His Worship the Mayors Administrative Assistant's Assistant exclaimed that she wasn't going around with yesterdays headlines imprinted on her nether regions - to which I replied, that it wasn't a problem as no one could read it without a mirror, which just earned me a clip around the ear (English for a flat hand struck forcefully across the top of the head - doesn't really hurt, but it can make one jump a bit)

Anyway, to cut the long story even shorter, we did a quick recon around the local Supermarkets and can reassure everyone in Gillyland that there is no shortage of Toilet Rolls around TV even though CalcTeacher obviously thought there might be to bring 369 packs of multiple Toilet Rolls (ok, I am exagerating a bit)

Default Investigation

An Urgent investigation has been launched by His Worship the Mayor, after the Head of his Administration Departments Administration Departments, Administration Assistant's Assistant spotted suspicious footprints on the Lot assigned to A4 and his lovely family, this morning;
a4-footprints-jpg

After forensic examination of the footprints, the Mayor, using his extensive Police experience advised his Head of Administration that they were probably looking for an Adult Male (physically not mentally!) around 6 ft 5", tall, weighing around 285 lbs and with a size 13 shoe.

First suspicions centred around Jimbo2012, but when confronted, his shoe size didn't fit and he had a cast iron alibi, his wife! who confessed to wanting to drop him in it, but in this case, just couldn't

The whole of Gillyland has been mobilised and if this mysterious stranger is seen lurking around the neighbourhood again, either the Mayor or his Head of Administration should be contacted immediately.

Just to clear things up and keep our good name intact: once you've raised 3 girls (and I, the mom, make the 4th woman in the house) you develop habits of buying TP in large quantities at Costco. This habit has been extremely difficult for us to break! We did not mean our actions to give people alarm about a possible TP shortage in Florida! And why do I now think that Ed and I will never live this down? Hahaha!
