If golf gets finished in time I will stop by.

Stop by anyway!!:a040: I will leave the balloons up for a couple of days.

I am trying to think along the lines of Fishes and Loaves. That is what my grandmother always said when a bunch would drop by, Think Fishes and Loaves.

And...If we run out, I will give rainchecks...

good one gracie!
 

You've got my vote for "Most Congenial"...atta girl!

Miss Congeniality - for sure
 

You are truly amazing!
We are renting in Hadley for the month of March and would love to meet you - Crispers, our rental or wherever!
Hope to see you!

Sorry Gracie
 

I won't be there until the 20th. Steve

Claudia and I hope to stop by on Thursday.

I would love to, but I have a hair appointment at 3, then water aerobics at 6. But hopefully we can meet in the near future.

Hi Gracie, what a nice invitation. I would love to meet you in person, but I am still in Kentucky. Hope to see you another time.

how nice of you...
 

with such a lovely invitation, i will make it my business to stop in even if just for fifteen minutes...that is so sweet of you...

Wished I could, but I'm stuck working all day. Hopefully, I'll see you on Crisper's on Friday. I'm still planning to collect that hug.

Where are you going to park all the golf carts?

Havana's a big street and Ambrosia not that far from Gracie's house, so plenty of on-street parking. (Note to self: Go the long way and avoid Havana on Thursday.)

I back up to the Odell Center and the shuffleboard courts are right behind my house...you could park at Odell and cut through.......

If we really did run out of space....which I doubt.

Bicycle Parking?
 

We assume there will be convenient Senior Parking.
Can we bring bicycles onto the compound?
This will allow more room for the carts!

thanks Gracie
 

I hope to meet you if the new carpet is installed on time. Can't wait to meet friends I haven't met.

btw...what is the Crispers thing?
 

Are we missing out on something special, like a secret club, if so what is the password? :-)

You must not miss Crispers!! It is a tradition from Talk of the Villages. Crispers is Friday at 3:00, third Friday of the month which is THIS Friday.

Crispers Restaurant is on 466 at the light right across from the High School. We TOTV'rs usually meet on the patio and have a wonderful time. Our KathieI is the hostess and the picture taker.

I know that I am having my get together the day before because we had just returned and I was excited to see everyone. I really should have waited but then I found out Larry and Linda would be in town for just a short while and would miss Crispers....

Please don't miss Crispers. We won't for sure!

Take photos Grace! See you soon.

We might make a cameo fly by Friday but have a 7pm from MCO
Traffic on a Friday pm to the airport?.........

Maybe we'll get there early, sneak in some greensand meet any early birds, as long as we don't see a noose anywhere waiting for us

What a great thing to do, Gracie! Sandy and I just happen to be here in TV - heading back to OH Friday a.m. So we'll take you up on your invite!! See you tomorrow! :-)

Bill

Rats!
 

Gracie, I've already accepted another invitation or I would most certainly have accepted yours! I love your replies to posts! You have a GREAT sense of humor. Priceless! Uh, what is Crispers?

Crispers is a get together for us who post on TOTV held once a month, the third Friday, at the restaurant called Crispers which is on 466 very near Publix and across the street from The Villages High School at the light at Belvedere.

Before I began posting and knew anything about TV, a group of fine folks began meeting at Crispers for the joy of getting to know new people who have moved here or were just visiting. Our friend here on TOTV, KathieI is the pivotal person still seeing that it happens and is the hostess and the picture taker. She will then post the pictures and people who are not yet here can see what the folks here look like.

If you give KathieI $50 she will substitute any picture of you for a movie star.

Just kidding.

The Crispers get together is absolutely something anyone new to The Villages should not miss and anyone old (if you pardon the expression) to The Villages should not miss. It is tomorrow at 3:00. People sometimes have a late lunch or can just order something cold to drink. We usually meet outside on the Patio, unless it is too hot or too cold. You will see a darling redhead passing out nametags. That is our KathieI.

Hope to see you at Crispers!!

Grace, what fun to meet some of the new folks. As usual you were the gracious hostess. Good to see Helene and Henry aka Sweetie too. Glad that you are back. Thank you for gracious hospitality and opening your beautiful home and the delicious yummies.
