On Friday friends from Minnesota came to visit for the week-end. Dorothy and Dennis sold their house the same week that we did. They immediately moved to Florida and began living their dream in The Villages near Orlando. The Villages is a self contained community that offers every conceivable activity - most for free. Dennis is an avid golfer and they both are crazy over pickle ball. (Pickle ball is similar to doubles tennis on a smaller court with a wiffle ball, solid face racquet, different rules and another method of scoring. Other than that -- it's just the same!) Residents can play all of the golf they desire for free. The same fee schedule applies to interest clubs and other sports. Anyway, their dream came true -- they made it come true!

| Our first stop for Sunday Brunch. Unfortunately, they only sold bait! Next stop.... |
Dorothy found that an art fair was scheduled in St. Armand's Circle this week-end. The perfect excuse to get together! We spent an entire day wandering from booth to booth and eating lunch at Columbia -- Dennis, like last week's guest, is in pursuit of the best Cuban sandwich in America. Brian and I did find a piece of art.
 |
| The guys finished looking at the booths before Dorothy and I. What a surprise! |
 |
| Shopping our butts off....Oh, if it was only that easy. |
 |
| A walk to the beach after brunch. |
 |
| Now for the nail biter----Is the dingy motor repaired? Yes!!! See that smile on his face. He looks a little tentative, but the motor ran with no hesitation. At last, at last---we have our dingy running again! |
Gotta Smile -- we're lovin the ride!
