Well, we will always know where we can "go"! Looking forward to meeting you guys!!!!

Default OMG, a run on TP!

I can bring reinforcements from Gainesville, an hour north. I have an SUV and a pickup, so let me know if you are desperate. I can deliver to the Mayor's and Lord Admin's within 24 hours.
OMG, A TP shortage!

I feel much better now that you've explained your TP "situation". When we went through design last week we found out that our lot was elegible for a "FREE" tree. We were fearful that you and Ed were into TP'ing peoples property so we inquired about having the tree relocated to the Mayor's property. No deal. So much happens when the sun goes down in Gilchrist 209/210 . . . . . You never know where the tree will end up. I wonder if Millie the dog bites?

oh, here's another tidbit on the tree. I'm 2961 amherst or 210.113. I was told I would be the lucky lot owner to get a live oak. I've lived in FL a long time. Live oaks not on your property are magnificent. On your property: tiny unrakable leaves, millions of acorns, moss drippings, squrrels eating the acorns, eventually limbs thru the house. I think my designer successfully decined the live oak for my property. Lucky me there are a couple of these lovable trees around the pond in view of my property, which was the first thing that made me really want the lot.. BUT they were not on my property where I had to deal with them daily.

Our lot came with one and since it did we will kept it, but it will be relocated to north side where in years to come it will not block our solar panels.

Knowing you, I'm sure (??????) it was a respectable legal activity (?????)

Default Bogo2128

Ole' A-4 and my lovely co-pilot had the pleasure of having breakfast with Bogo2128 (Bobby & Susie Davis) at Bonifay this morning. We shared our experience with design which started at noon today when they were to meet their sales rep. They design tomorrow morning and I just found out that they picked a Zinnia model. Good for them. That's 3 of us within 2 blocks of each other in Gilchrist with a Zinnia. After breakfast we ajourned to Gilchrist 210 Lot 117 to admire the lot and their view out the back. WOW !! And then the street party started as half the people on this thread started showing up. So we've got a couple of new GREAT Gilly's.

Good luck tomorrow Bobby & Susie. Tell them what you want and I'll bet you get it

Independence, MO 64057

Lot 209.114
3049 Bradshaw Lane

Our closing date is March 14. Linda is a math and special education teacher in middle school and we will be coming to the Villages the day after her school ends which appears to be sometime in the 3rd week of May.

We have two dogs, Bella the Bulldog, and Taz the Yorkie, they love everyone and think everyone loves them.

Linda has 3 grown kids. Michael is in the service at Fort LaJune in North Carolina. Courtney just finished her master's at Georgia where she was on the gymnastics team and a two time all american. Morgan got a scholarship to the number 2 dance school in the country, a one year program, and she is back in the Kansas City area teaching dance at the largest dance club/school.

We couldn't be more excited and look forward to our first summer there!
We look forward to meeting you. We are just around the corner from in 209=441. And Beau the Schnauzer terrier mix (med size dog) will love to meet Bella and Taz. Mike loves golf and football (almost any sport). I love beading, painting and reading. We are leaving for TV on Jan 30 and cant wait to be there. See you soon. Gayle and Mike

Rich & Ann Marie . . . No Pics today, but on a drive by I saw that they insulated the wall between the garage and living space and there is a large pile of sheetrock loaded into the garage. I would expect a big day tomorrow.

Thanks, Bob. I guess that I can survive a day without any pictures. While I don't expect the pictures I sure look forward to them. My sales rep sent me some video on Saturday. Can't wait for it to start taking real interior shape.

Junction29 -
I don't know who the owner of this unsecured wireless network is I'm tied into right now (it's named "Unit 209 Radio Free Europe") but I've set up shop in the middle of my lot, here in the dark, waiting for the Dastardly Dude to show up again on my sand box. It's cold and I'm hungry. Please bring donuts and some Corona. (no lime) And please don't let Hotrod & the Mayor turn Rosie, Sweetie, and Gracie loose on me. I think I can out run Millie
