One year ago today, I moved into my beautiful home in Heavenly Hadley. After 7 trips to TV, I finally found the house of my dreams and sold my house in Los Angeles in 3 months and packed up the 3 bad dogs, and drove cross country, arriving on Aug. 26.

Although I knew that this is the place I wanted to live, I never expected it to be as wonderful as it has turned out to be. I have made so many truly good friends and have had the time of my life. Nothing has made me regret making this decision and I'm hoping all of you moving to TV within the next few months will experience the same warm and fantastic feeling that I have had this past year. I thank all of my good friends for being there for me and I know the next 20 years will be the best ever.....

LOL, Shirl..... it certainly was, at times. As usual, the wonderful village people came through for me. Its been quite a ride but I'm so thankful I decided to do it!! If I had time, I'd throw a party for my one-year-moving-to-TV-anniversary (as Betty called it) but I'm too busy dancing at night to organize it!! Thanks for the good wishes.

Congratulations Kathie on your one year anniversary in TV!!!

What comes to my mind when I think of you is a butterly fluttering around all over TV....having fun, helping people, greeting people, dancing etc. I could go on and on lol. When I say butterfly, I mean that in a loving way....as I love butterflies and think they are very special just like you!!

When I buy my house (very very soon I hope) we will have a big anniversary party and if I am correct....a little birdie told me you have a birthday coming up too...so it will be a Kathie Anniversary and Birthday party!!!

I hope you have many many years of happiness in TV!!

I am so glad you made the move. What ever would we do without our social organizer. You are the center of every party. Congratulations on this milestone.

Can't believe it's a year already!
I joined 8/1/08, and remember following your cross country journey. It seems like only yesterday.
Congratulations and Happy Village Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Kathie!!!! The Villages is all about the people. You are one of those people that make The Villages what it is today....Congrats and may you have many, many more years of happiness!

Kathie.

How can it POSSIBLY be one year already. The trouble is that in The Villages the time whizzes by. Maybe I should stay in Ohio where it goes more slowly.

Congratulations on your first year. May you have a thousand more.

Your reports on your first year in TV are what kept us sane as we were stuck trying to sell our home. Now we are here and you have made us feel so welcome. You are the epitome of what we loved about TV!

Congrat's Kathie!
I agree with Halle, TV will NEVER be the same. Of course, I mean that with only the GREATEST respect for you and all you have done for the thriving community.
