Our House At Thanksgiving...

Thanks as always to Les Ridge, Ace Photographer & neighbor (both old and new!), for this recent photo. Click for a closer view.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We couldn't have imagined a more joyful Thanksgiving, than having our two daughters with us at Harbor Hills. We showed off the progress of our new home, and had a delicious dinner at the clubhouse. Lisa, Sunni, Kevin and Little Danny all spent the holiday with us this year. Pictured above is Lisa on the left, and Sunni, against the beautiful backdrop of our new Tenth Fairway.

Bye, Bye Tommy!

It is with a heavy heart that we sold our beloved Lexington Tommy Bahama dining room set! An ad on the Lexington web site, brought a Winter Park Florida buyer down to take a look yesterday. Of course, it was "love at first sight". We negotiated a price and the set will be picked up tomorrow. Our new dining room is small and shaped like an octagon, precluding the use of a large rectangular table. But alas, all is not lost! We purchased a round table from the same collection, with the same chairs upholstered in our custom fabric! Well, hel-lo, Tommy!!! Click for a larger view.

Leaving is Hard To Do...

Goodbye, Torrey Pines! Our furniture will be moved to the rental on Wednesday, December 21. Our closing date on our "old home" is Thursday, December 29. Anticipated move-in date on our new home is late February. As the time gets closer, we think about leaving good friends and familiar places in Port St. Lucie. Fortunately, many of our friends will be "traveling through" our new hometown in Lady Lake. We expect to see more than a few PGA Villagers on our Harbor Hills doorstep in the coming year!

In The Bleachers Again...

Just like old times! David and I were in the bleachers as we were for so many years through football, cheerleading, soccer, softball, baseball and basketball! Only this time, it was our grandson Danny playing for the Gainesville, Florida team. Unbelieveably, Danny, Number 23, made the only touchdown that won the bowl game for his team! It was great fun- and reminded us how quickly time passes...Double click on the picture for a closer view!

Time to Slap A "Sold" Sign on!

Happily, we have accepted an offer on our PGA Village home. Closing is scheduled for December 29. Many thanks to Elaine Baese and her team at Villager Realty for a superb job.

We rented a home in the Lady Lake area. What lies ahead? Packing and more packing! We plan to have the movers do their thing on Wednesday, December 21st. That will leave us enough time to have the house professionally cleaned and give us some breathing room before closing. The roof on our new home is on (see photo above) and we hope to be in by the end of February. Double click on the picture for a closer view.
