Boy, we were all set to play at Briarwood this morning with twenty of our neighbors and guess what, it is raining again. It was also quite cool. It's no fun to play in the rain so they cancelled it. We just stayed home and played our new WII, did our excercises, played golf, bowling and some others.
We also watched some movies, went to Lowe's for paint for our new cornhole game Bud is making and made homemade vegetable soup.
Now I think I will take a bath so I can go to work tomorrow.

Friday Night with the Neighbors
We spent a relaxing day after Gary and Pat left, just kind of sat around and watched TV and cleaned up the kitchen and made salsa.
Tonight twenty four of our neighbors went to Margaritaville for dinner. It is so nice to see everyone laugh and talk and have a good time. John went to every house and I got the reservation. I think John should run for mayor of Tangerine Drive. He knows everyone and really keeps things together.
After dinner Meredith, Bobby, Nancy, Harley, Karen, Louie and John came over and we drank, ate popcorn and played WII. It was nice and they all really liked the house. Nancy said it really spoiled her and she hasn't ever seen one that looks this nice. It made us feel really good that all of our hard work really shows. Tomorrow we are golfing again at Briarwood and it is suppose to be quite cool in the morning. Guess I'll have to wear some extra clothes.

Having a Great Time
Since Gary and Pat have been here we have bowled on our Sunday night league, went to the driving range, golfed three times,went to a concert, had many, many good dinners out,went shopping, explored the Villages on golf cart from one end to the other,had friends over to the house, the guys went to the Old Tyme Cowboy movie club, the girls watched "Amelia" at Jane's house, we played WII and I let Gary take my place at shuffleboard and he had two wins and one loss,went to the pool and hot tub and now I am getting ready to fix their farewell breakfast as they have to leave by noon.
I am totally exhausted but it is a good tired..They really enjoyed themselves. Gary even ran into people he knew from General Motors and they assured him he would love it here. One guy said,"You never even have to leave the compound."

A Beautiful Day in The Villages
We had a wonderful day today. I made the best breakfast casserole this morning. It had bacon, roasted peppers, chili peppers, onions, eggs, bread, milk and chili powder. It was deemed a success.
We had to wait to get another estimate on our driveway extension before we could go running around this morning. We did all the stores in Spanish Springs and then we had a little lunch at TooJays. Their corn beef sandwiches are the greatest.
I bought a floor lamp at Kirkland's and Gary bought two new golf clubs at Golf USA so we had to take the golf carts home and come back with the car and my coupon for Kirklands. Then I had to buy show tickets for Pam's March renter because he was afraid all the seats would be gone by the time he got here and he was probably right. He wanted three shows and the one was almost sold out already.
We got a 5:30 tee time at El Santiago and we played a best ball scramble and came in one under par. We ate dinner at the El Santiago Country Club and then we hurried home, got our suits on and hit the pool and hot tub for a about an hour.
I just finished making a pecan roll for breakfast and now I am ready to hit the rack.
Gary and Pat are extremely excited about this place. Gary is in hog heaven,he loves it...Wouldn't that be nice if they could be here...

Too Busy To Blog Again
I am a real slacker about this blogging lately but it seems like I just run out of steam at night when I usually blog.
We did have our digital scrapbooking competition and I won third place for my greeting card and first place for my seasonal entry. And guess what--my seasonal entry took Best Of Show out of 225 entries.
We have been doing so many things I can't even remember them anymore but I know we have been golfing, playing shuffleboard, bowling and going out to eat. We also went to Catfish Johnny's at Lake Panasofee for a country music jam and the best fish I have had in a long time. It was a great day.
It has been so busy at work when I get home, I just collapse. Today we had a fund-raiser for Relay for Life and we were swamped. When I got home we tried to go golfing but then it started to rain so we only got in three holes but I did get a par on the first hole at Hill Top.
Our good friends from Holly Michigan are here for a week and so tomorrow we will try and golf again. Tonight we took them to Katie Belle's for the Donna Moore and Dunning Shaw show. It is so good. She can really sing and he is fabulous.It is just a really feel good show.
Just before we left Evelyn called and said Megan was in the hospital because her blood pressure was up and they might have to induce labor. I pray that everything is alright with her and the baby. By the time you read this I might be a great-grandmother.
Well, I am going to bed, it has been one long day....

Golfing in the Rain
On Friday I worked,extremely busy..In the evening we went with all the neighborhood to Katie Belle's and had a nice dinner. I truly believe it is the best in the Villages. Great entertainment and good food. On Saturday we golfed at Hill Top but it started spinkling about the fourth hole.We played closest to the pin on hole seven so by the time we got there it was really raining so we hit out balls, didn't get close enough and quit and went in the Orange Blossom Country Club for lunch. By that time it was pouring...
It was so lousy out that we went to Block Busters, got movies, made popcorn and Bill, Anna, Rod and Pam all came to our house for an afternoon and evening of movies. We saw "Hangover", a comedy that is getting rave reviews but I wasn't that impressed. Then we saw "Hurt Locker", again great reviews, even a best picture nomination but not my kind of movie. But we had fun..
Sunday I worked and then we went bowling. We bowled very, very good and took five points from a great team. Jane was in Tampa but she would have been proud of us.
Monday it rained again!!!Busy, Busy at work, I even went two hours early..My dogs were barking when I got home. In the evening I worked on my digital scrapbooking for Wednesday. Today I made homemade vegtable soup because it was a good day for soup because it rained all day again...The sun came out about two o'clock and we headed to Lake Sumter on the golf cart to go to the scrapbooking store. I needed some things for a mixed media page and boy that stuff is expensive. Now I know why I switched to digital.I spent the whole evening on my pages but I now have all ten done so I don't have to rush in the morning. Wish me luck!!!
