On Monday it felt so good not to go to work. We just worked aroung here and then I went to the pool with Anna. The sun didn't feel all that hot but boy did I get some sun. I am so brown you won't recognize me. At five we met Pam and Rod and played golf at Silver Lake. Boy that is one tough course. We played a doubles scramble and they won, easily I might add. Then they came over and we had reruns of last night dinner. It was too good to waste.
On Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment and then I used my coupon I got in the mail and got some scratch off lottery tickets. I won $110. Yippee!!!
Then we went to Wal-Mart and Bud got his fountain he has been wanting. In one hand and out the other.
Tonight we attended our bowling banquet. We had prime rib, pretty good. We got our prize money for being in first place and then Jim took our picture outside of the country club.
Tomorrow it is suppose to be warm and sunny again. Can't wait.....

Our Bowling Team is Number One
On Saturday we went to some nice garage sales. Then I cooked in the afternoon, made lasagna for Sunday. Then we rode with Rod to the Orlando Airport to pick up Pam.
Today I worked and then came home and got ready for company. The Armsteads, the Mancos and us had dinner before we went bowling. We really pulled it off tonight. We all pulled together and we are tied for first place. There is no roll-off so I guess we just share the spotlight. The bowling banquet will be Tuesday at Orange Blossom Gardens.
So I am tired, it has been a long day...

Having Too Much Fun to Blog
My friend Sandy left on Friday. On Saturday we golfed,won the money, went to lunch. On Sunday I worked, then we bowled. We only won one game, bad night...
My boss gave me some days off in a row so we could go to Ft. Myers, we were suppose to leave on Sunday but we had to bowl. I had to cancel a doctor's appointment, gave away our concert tickets, cancel going to my Red Hats and we were on our way on Monday morning. We had a great time at Twyla and Don's house. We had a wonderful dinner at Hog Bodies (great food, awful name)went to the movies to see "Knowing" with Nicolas Cage, went golfing, went to Red Hats with Twyla's Red Hat group at this fancy Country Club called Magolia Landing, the guys went golfing at Sable Springs with Frank Griffith. Geri and Dan Taylor and Sandy met us in Ft. Myers at the Broadway Palm dinner theater and we saw "All Shook Up". On Thursday we went to the pool and laid in the sun, had lunch and headed for home. We had a great time. It is so nice to have friends all over, we meet up together and it is like we see them every week.
Today I worked, I needed the rest. Ha Ha. Tonight we cooked and we are just staying home. Tomorrow it is suppose to be 89 degrees here so I might be headed for the pool.

St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day is getting to be one of my favorite holidays. It is a great day to live in The Villages. I never saw so many people dressed up and wearing green. The parade was just great. Me and Sandy went down to the square early and saved two tables for our gang. There were nineteen of us there in our group. After the parade we walked to the Hacienda Rec Center for the Michigan Club. We had corn beef sandwiches and were entertained by Billie Thacher. She does a great job. By the end of the evening this event cordinator was exhausted.
Today Sandy and I went to the pool and then tonight we all went to Margaritaville to listen to karoke. Some of the people were good, some should take up another hobby. But is was fun...

Sandy is Here
I worked today so Bud had to entertain Sandy while I was gone. When I got home we had a light lunch and sat around and talked.
Sandy and I headed for Katie Belle's around 4 p.m. so we could get good seats for the Dunning Shaw-Donna Moore Show. Now this is the fourth time I have seen it and it was as good as the first. They certainly are a talented pair. Sandy really enjoyed. Jane and her relatives were there also on the first floor. This is her fifth or sixth time to see it, she has more company than I do...
Then we went to the the square and watched them dance and sing. After that we came home and went to the pool and hot tub. You sure meet some interesting people there. So now it is almost time to hit the hay....

Hot Rock Casino and Bowling
The girls went to the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa on Thursday. It is a big casino with lots of machines and nice restaraunts. We took a bus from the Villages. I didn't win,I was ahead and then kept playing. I could kick myself....
The bus brought us back to the Villages and I went right over to the Hacienda Rec Center for our Italian American Club meeting. It was a great night. The entertainment was great, an Italian girl that could sing like a dream. Then they served us all ice cream sundaes. What more could you ask for.
On Friday I worked and then we went to the pool for a while and then came home, cooked and just stayed home. I needed that...
On Saturday we golfed with the neighborhood and even though we were one under we didn't win any money. We had a light lunch at El Santiago Country Club.
We picked up Pam and Rod for another adventure in the evening. We went to a fish restraunt in Lake Panasofee. The food was great and they give you so much...
Today I worked and we were swamped again. I just don't know where all these people come from, no one cooks at home...
I made cabbage rolls when I got home because my friend Sandy from Houghton Lake is coming for a few days. Then we went bowling and took all four points. Then we met Sandy and now they are watching the Larry The Cable Guy Roast.
So now I am going to bed, got to work tomorrow.

Tuesady and Wednesday-Fabulous
On Tuesday it was downright beautiful again here in the Villages. I went to the pool in the afternoon and then we met the Ohio Club at Bone Fish Restaurant for an early dinner. Bill and Eva sat with us and the food was excellent.
On Wednesday we got up really early, packed our coolers and took off for our monthly adventure. We decided to rent a pontoon boat and go down the St. John's River in search of wildlife and have lunch at a place along the way. We had such a beautiful day, you couldn't have ordered one better. We got the boat okay, Rod was cruising down the river and a river ranger turned on his siren and pulled us over. I guess we were going too fast, we should have been in idle but we didn't know that. We thought we were going slow enough. Well, he didn't give us a ticket but he posed for a picture trying to put handcuffs on Rod. Oh, my God, we had lots of laughs over that. We ate and drank and laughed all day. We started our trip at 8 a.m. and got off the boat at 5 p.m. We stopped and had lunch at the Swamp Water Inn. Then we went to Jane's and had dinner.
I have never seen that many alligators. You couldn't pay me enough to get in that water. They were everywhere. The scenery is fabulous but give me a good old Michigan Lake any day.....
So I am sunburned and warm and tired.
