Hello Everyone ! I just want to take a moment to introduce myself to my new community and let you know how excited I am to becoming an official Villager.

I'm Beth and my husband, Dane, and I are closing on a pre-owned CYV - scheduled to close on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. If everything comes off as planned and scheduled it will truly be a day to be giving lots of thanks....LOL.

We live in Perrysburg, Ohio, a suburb of Toledo. I guess I don't have to give any more explaination about why we are choosing to move to The Villages. I'm not sure, but I've heard....and please correct me if I'm wrong - someone told us you don't have to shovel sunshine like we do the snow in Ohio. Boy, that sounds like a dream for sure!

We'll be in and out for a couple years. I'm retired (aka: lost my job and couldn't get anything else at my age) but Dane has a couple more years to work before we can be down full time. I was a bookkeeper at a non-profit organization and Dane is the fleet manager for an electrical contractor.

We have dear friends who have a lovely home in Buttonwood and they really gave us the opportunity to get to know the community and decide we wanted to join in the lifestyle. Many, MANY years ago we lived in Palatka, FL (northeast of The Villages) and Dane has two brothers and two sisters living there so it will be nice to be close to family as well as new friends.

I've been lurking around this forum for a few weeks and I can see what a wealth of information it's gonna be as questions come up. I look forward to getting to know many of you!

Hi!! We lived in Perrysburg for awhile and then moved to Maumee. Welcome to The Villages. In fact, the skies were a little gray this morning....reminded me of NW Ohio.

Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome!

Grew up in Whitehouse left there a long time ago my fathers family was from Perrysburg or also known as Pburg. It is a small world you'll like it here. Aw the good old Maumee River

Welcome as I grew up on a dairy farm in Lorain County but very familiar with Perryburg as my sister went to UT and now lives in Whitehouse. We are building in the Village of Gilchrest--as a matter of fact they just broke ground today and will close 1/8/13. Will also venture back and forth for a few years but will enjoy the fun in the sun as much as we can!

Thats funny I also lived in Amherst boy the world is getting smaller by the minute

Welcome to TV and TOTV. Where is your CYV located? You know you'll love it here and it is true about the sunshine. My wife and I moved from WV and I was also tired of the cold and the snow. Anyway, welcome to our little slice of paradise!!

[CaptJohn]

to the TOTV forum. I visit friends in Waynesville every year. Really like the area in the summer!

[2BNTV]

I lived in Cleveland for a year so I guess I am a snowflake buckeye.

Ask questions and keep on posting. Lots of smart people here that will know the answer.
