What a nice night we just had! Janice and I were on the lanai after a trip to the store where we ran into the Cruisers! As I was taking Gracie out for a walk who would pull up on Kilgore other than Shawn & Freddie. We finally got the skinny on the house but I'm not going to spill the beans and make them finally quit being stalkers. They can explain for themselves...

We had a nice chat and then they joined us for dinner and some more good conversation!

They were able to buoy my sagging spirits after a miserable game of golf today at Redfish Run with Pat, Dennis & Carol. I'm ashamed to tell my score but suffice it to say that at the end of the day I had three good shots out of the whole round. Just depressing. I have the feeling that lessons may be in my future... I don't like RFR anymore and it certainly doesn't like me..

Tomorrow I finally get to play something more my style (Turtle Mound) with Mike, Gayle & Carol. Maybe I can put together something that resembles a decent game.

Carol leaves next week but the Flintstones should be coming back fairly soon and we had some good news from MamaDerby and the Old Bishop so spirits are bound to rise.

Things still just aren't the same without the Junction29's so we all wish they would hurry up and come back home!!!

We have purged 38 years of "stuff" with five days of garage sales. Salvation Army gets the rest. Dave is working on his six-car garage. We sold our corvette yesterday. We are feeling confident that we will be done by closing. What a lot of work! When all is said and done, I think it will be a good feeling to know we have only what we need in TV. Can't wait to head back and play some golf or I should say, rake some sand! I rake sand traps more than TV workers! We sure miss our Gilly friends!

Ditto on the Mayor for this thread also--have been busy w/that thing called work that don't get a chance to read much of these threads as much as I'd like to. I've been here since the end of March and still have some boxes to unpack so congrats to you for being so organized. Our newest project is the extended bird cage in the back--more dust--fun. but added so much more room and now I get to shop for furniture.

Need to stop by and see you guys--work has been keeping me hopping and trying to get organized so I can go up North for a few days this upcoming weekend--but I will return back quickly Jim's actually helping MamaDerby and Old Bishop pack up the truck for the move--he should just pack himself up with all their stuff and get his butt down here Stop over to see our extended birdcage--everyone will have to bring their own chairs to sit as don't have any furniture to fill it up with as of yet

Speaking of people leaving for a while, we need to say so long to Carol and any others going back north. I dont know about you, but I know Carol has been a rock here in our neighborhood. She is always helping with something. And she is such fun!

How about we call a meeting at Evans Prairie for Wednesday at 7:00p. Be there are be square.

Oh no such sad days ahead it's nearly time to hit the proverbial road, but the sooner home, the sooner the return trip! Not to mention that so many will have also returned and new neighbors moved in See you all on Wednesday evening for lots of hugs and to meet the new contingent! Perhaps a fly-in will be in order mid way through...
The old neighborhood just isn't the same without those Brits however! When I walk Rosie and Sweetie that way for our afternoon stroll, they still try to get up to the front door for their daily "tea" with Miss Millie! Not to mention Mommy's wine!

Well, another day in Gillyland has come and gone. I had the pleasure of golfing today with Mike "The Tin Can Man" and Gayle Roberts and HotRodGirl. We played a course more in line with my skills which was Turtle Mound. We had a few pars and everyone hit a good shot or two. After golf we retired to Bonifay CC for some much needed victuals and drink which was followed (at least by me) by a nice nap. This truly is a wonderful place!!!

Can't wait to attend the GillyBration on Wednesday!!!

Hope to see all of you there!!!

Oh, that must have been you I heard today shrieking on the golf course. I wasn't sure if someone was hit by lightning or hit a bad shot!
See ya'll soon!

It's nice to know that you and Dave will be back soon to supplement the losses we've suffered with other neighbors returning home to tend to various affairs. It'll be nice to have both of you back. Can't wait to play golf with both of you. Pickleball is still a little questionable for me...

Not off the top of my head I don't. I'd do a search on TOTV for a general handyman. I'm sure that there's a thread on here somewhere for such an animal!

Default What? Me Drinking???

I just thought I'd post this little candid shot of HotRod slurping down a Bahama Mama at Bonifay after we got rained on while playing Turtle Mound!

It's priceless!!!
