A Wonderful Week in the Villages

I don't know where to start but I will try and remember what we have been doing. Eight of us went to the Florida Strawberry Festival on Thursday. We have had our tickets for a long time for the bus trip and the show so when it was pouring rain out we decided to just go, you can't get a refund. So it rained all the way there but when we got there it cleared up enough that we didn't get soaked and we got to see lots of exhibits and things. By the time the Oak Ridge Boys started their show, which is outside, it had started sprinkling again but not too bad. The show was as good as they ever were and it sure brought back lots of memories of when my kids were little when they sang "Elvira". We also celebrated Bud's birthday with cards and a cake. He is now sixty eight years old. Doesn't that sound ancient...
We golfed at Hilltop on Saturday and I got "Closest to the Pin". We had lunch at Orange Blossom Country Club.
On Sunday I worked and then we bowled. We only won one game...oh well.
Monday I worked,Tuesday we went to Jane's for breakfast so she could practice making omelets in a bag.
Wednesday was St. Patrick's Day, my favorite holiday in The Villages. We cooked in our big pot that we brought from home, corned beef,cabbage and carrots. There were twelve of us and we had a ball. We played corn hole, Wii bowling and went down to the square to see the parade. It was a wonderful day and when they they left, I was totally exhausted.
Today B & D Construction is getting our driveway ready to pour. It really irrates Bud that he can't do it himself, no tools etc. So we hired it done and he doesn't like to do that. We are now headed to Mulberry to play shuffleboard.
