Before we visit Mary Ann and Steve we must wash our car, which we did at Shell. With a sparkling car we drove to the compound. We checked in and pulled to the parking lot, I had forgot to call Steve when we left the motel so things started out wrong. Shirleen dialed and got disconnected; she used the next number and again got disconnected. Time for my telephone, it dialed right through and contact was made. We noticed that there were many streets on the GPS and followed Steve to the house. But before we got there the GPS ran out of streets, thank god we didn’t try it ourselves as it is to many turns to get right.
We caught up a little on things and guess what, it is time for lunch. Off to the Villages we head to the Hacienda Hills Bar & Grill for lunch. As usual I will described the meal, Shirleen had hot chocolate with a grilled cheese and cottage cheese; Mary Ann had a chardonnay with a BLT and fries; Steve and I split a half carafe of pino grigio he had a bowl of chicken noodle soup and half a turkey sandwich, I a crab cake with crackers and coleslaw, she asked if I wanted the crackers not knowing why I said yes. They are the finger length type, four of them. I used them as a sandwich material for bites of the crab cake. It was simply delicious, it was more a round golf ball baked but stuffed with large pieces of crab, seldom seen when these are ordered. Off for the afternoon excursion.
Steve had seen a brochure for a of a Florida Carriage Museum and Resort in Weirsdale FL. www.fcmr.org I have not viewed the website but expect it to be good as the museum was spectacular. It was composed of many galleries, first the European with the Golden Carriage of Franz Joseph I of the Hapsburg dynasty,
We headed home for a few minutes of down time, snacks and refreshments.
Dinner is in The Villages at Bogies Restaurant. Shirleen’s cabernet was a Walnut Crest and ours were chardonnays from the same vintner. Shirleen had her filet mignon, Mary Ann Gulf Coast Coconut Shrimp with a baked potato, Steve a grilled Walleye, I the special a rack of baby back ribs with French fries.
We finished the night at house with a fresh peach cobbler. Off to the next day. Jerry
