LAZY SERVICE

We arrived at Lazydays at 10:00 this morning and left at 6:00.
The main problem they needed to repair was the closet doors. They're fixed. There was also a leak under the kitchen sink, they tried to fix it but it still leaks.
Exit 10 is the new restaurant at the camp ground.
This is the outside of the restaurant.The inside. The food was good.

SUN AND FUN

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. After church we went to King Ridge and drove some golf balls. The driving range was so far away we were given a cart. There was also a chipping and putting area.
Larry is making progress.
We left Orlando TT and stopped in at Peace River on our way to Sarasota. Laurie and Mark were there so we played a game of golf at Little Cyprus golf course. We had a good time.

The Blue Herons had there April camp out at Sun-N-Fun RV Resort in Sarasota. It is a very large and active resort.

Friends,Larry and Jeannie, just purchased this RV and joined us for the camp out.
Jeannie's car, I think it was the first I rode in a convertible with the top down. We went into Sarasota for dinner.

This is a famous sculpture in Sarasota.

We ate dinner on the porch at Marine Jack, what a nice view.
After dinner we walked around the water front, it was a beautiful evening.
Looking across to the restaurant where we just had dinner.
Saturday night we went into McCurdy's comedy club. We had lots of laughs.

This is the outside pool, there is also a large inside pool.
The Larrys sunbathing.
Five of the guys from Blue Heron's played the American golf course.
Alligator on the course.
Larry and I played the executive golf course. This is a nine hole course, which is all I want to play.
It was a nice course.
Larry and Jeannie live at Siesta Key and told us we had to go the beach.
Sunday afternoon we checked it out.
Beautiful golf water, clear and warm. The sand is white and fine. Jeannie says it never gets hot to walk on no matter how high the temperature becomes.
Monday we spent the afternoon at the beach. Enjoyed several dips in the water.
What a hunk. He sure is looking good.

FUN WITH FRIENDS

Many of us who dance each day at Thousand Trails went to Old Town Thursday night to listen to the country singer and to dance. From right to left are Deb and Bob Norman, Jim and Terrie Fozzie. They are all good pickleball players and golfers.



Larry signed us up to take golf lessons at Sanctuary Ridge Golf Course. Instruction and videoing of your swings were offered through the Carl Rabito golf academy. We met Mark and Laurie Irwin at Verde Valley last year on our way home. We played golf with them in Cottonwood. We were happy to see them again here at Orlando TT and they wanted to take lessons with us.
Deb Norman has never played and wanted to learn so we all went Friday morning and had lessons with Mike Thorstensen.




We worked a lot on balance and keeping our weight centered. Larry is working on his swing path.



Mark and Mike looking at Larry's swing. Then we checked it on video. We practiced for awhile and all were making progress. I was using my new woman's golf clubs. Up to now I have been using Larry's. Larry also has new clubs, so maybe with our new equipment and lessons we will become pros:) We all go back again on Monday for more lessons!

HAPPY VALENTINES

Happy Valentine's Day! Larry and I went to the Villages to visit Peggy and Jim. Peggy was a teacher in Downingtown and we met line dancing many years ago. Jim and Peggy now live all year long in the Villages. It is a little world of its own, what a place!

Peggy's sister, Carol, and her husband Marshall came over to have dinner with us. We had a delicious roast beef meal. After dinner Peggy and Carol showed me how to play Mahjong. It was nice spending the evening with friends.

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine Day with friends and loved ones.

HAVING FUN

Mary did a great job of teaching line dancing at Orlando TT. Suzanne and she had taken a workshop with Ira Weisburd this past summer and had a lot of his dances to teach us.
I taught the Tennessee Waltz Supreme that he choreographed before we left the park.





We danced Brazil to a Happy Birthday song to celebrate Mary Lou's (yellow) and Alice's (blue) birthdays. Karen (pink) had just come back to the park after being on some cruises and is ready to start teaching again also.





Sunday after church we met Terri and Jim at Legends for a brunch. The food was very good and the deal was buffet and 18 holes of golf with cart for any afternoon for $50 for two people. We were a little mad with them when we got our bill. They added a $10 gratuity plus tax so we ended up paying $68





On Monday afternoon we got togeether again to play golf. A pretty course to play on!





Terri and Jim. By the tenth hole we were getting tired so played a fun game of best ball.






Don't we all look professional?




To celebrate our 9th anniversary we went to Mount Dora to the Windsor Rose Tea Room for a dinner and magic show.




I had seen this event advertised in the paper. You had to make reservations and you had three
entrees to choice from. We had salmon, it was very good with great service.


For desert we had a raspberry chocolate cake.



The magician was funny and we had an enjoyable evening.




We left TT on Wednesday and drove 10 miles to Tropical Palms at Old Town for the February campout with the Blue Herons.







Wednesday night 6 of us went to Celebrations and ate at Columbia.



The Columbia is an old Cuban/Spanish cuisine restaurant. There are a few of them in Florida. There main one is in Ybor City by Tampa. The food was delicious and we had a very nice meal.








We enjoyed a happy hour each afternoon. A time to gather and talk.



One evening we had a big pot of chili. The meals are always good.We did some line dancing, Ann taught us how to crochet pet blankets for the human society, and we put together a puzzle.





Crazy 7's were played in the evening. Mike and Barb Turner were able to camp with us for the first time. It was nice getting to know them.


We leave on Sunday to go to Red Bay, Alabama to get our slide repaired. Hope the weather isn't too cold. I like this warm Florida weather!
