Welcome Lobwedge60 and Julie,

My wife and I am are also Villages wannabes. Maybe next year.

I didn't know The Villages issued their own money! Wow! I guess your $5.00 is a collector's item now.

I have found TOTV to be a wonderful source of information.

I appreciate all the feedback. Niels, way back when before anything was going on south of 466 you would receive $100 in “Village dollars” to use at any of the stores, restaurants, movies, etc while you visited during the Lifestyle Preview. I’m not sure what they do now. Muncle, WHEN Michigan gets their team back it will be a great time during the last regular season game of the year. Thanks again to all and we are looking forward to becoming residents of TV

Hi Lobwedge60, we are also wannabes ready to morph into any other kind of "bees" just so long as it gets us closer to TV. We are still trying to sell our home in SC and I can tell you that TOTV has kept me sane while I wait. These are the greatest bunch of people in the world and although I have never met anyone in person I feel like I have known everyone my whole life. As for Kathie pointing out the "sane" ones among us, this I gotta see! Go ahead Kathie, show us what you got! And Donna, yikes, what's with the dripping goo?? Although it does have a certain charm.......

Hi Ouma,

Good luck on selling your home. The market is a challenge, but, as we found out , you only need one buyer!

Seneca is a great location - my daughter went to Clemson and worked at a seafood restaurant there for awhile.

Thanks for the encouraging words katezbox. Seneca is a great location and if I hadn't found and visited TV I probably would have been content to spend the rest of my life here......but a visit to TV changed all that. Clemson is a great school and having a college town as a neighbor adds to Seneca's appeal. That and the lakes. But it can't hold a candle to TV. Hope we get to meet one of these days. Know anyone who wants to buy a terrific house on Lake Keowee??

[katezbox]

We feel the same about N Myrtle Beach. If I hear of any prospective buyers, I'll let you know.

Kate

PS - Cute Kitties!

[ouma1938]

Thanks on the kitties. Its an aunt and niece from a colony of feral cats. We managed to catch many of them in a catch, spay or neuter, and release program but got a few of the kittens at an early enough age that they were able to be domesticated. We kept these two, my kids kept three and we found homes for the others. I love your dog. Its adorable. If I hear of anyone looking for a house in N.Myrtle Beach I'll send them your way. BTW my husband has two sisters, one in Myrtle Beach the other in N Myrtle Beach.

When my wife and I visited TV in July 2008 on our lifestyle preview visit, they gave us both cards which you could use for meals at certain restaurants (with $$ limits on each meal), a couple of movies, discounts in their store, etc. I didn't know they used to have "Village dollars"
