We breakfast with some fine banana cake, strawberries, scrumptious pineapple with a cup of good strong coffee. We sat and talked about an assortment of things and made day plans. We had to pick up some tickets to get into a Village Restaurant and dance hall from friends of Mary Ann’s brother Mark’s friend Gordon. As we called Mark he was on a golf cart lost in The Villages but in-sight of the water tower. We found the gate to Tall Pines but it would not let us in and we again called Mark to let us in. We circled the round-a-bout three times and finally got in by Gordon passing us through. We never run into Mark in Mankato but here we are in Florida and exchange pleasantries. We were shown the house, nice layout. She mentioned it was $3,600 a month and they were staying 2 months. There on the counter was a stick of Schmidt’s meat market sausage, just like home. We left the group and headed for lunch at Crisper’s with a stop at The Food Market to look at the selection of foods. We had toured one with Michelle in Milwaukee, one of the only places that carry both Hereford and Angus meats. The Market is kept in super clean condition.
Crisper’s has seating outside and that is where we are headed. Shirleen had a Citrus Chicken Wrap – mandarin oranges, pecans and chicken pieces I a Hot Russian – pastrami, provolone cheese and pumpernickel bread both had fried potato chips. Mary Ann and Steve split a sandwich with baked potato chips.
To the flea market we go. What a bunch of stuff, to numerous to comment on.
Sat at home to rest up with snacks and two gin and tonics.
We then went down to the square to look at the hot rod golf carts. There were probably 80 of them. A couple had prices on them, what a shock $17,000 on two different ones. Some had flames, one a Jack Daniels whisky scheme – looked like the Vikings colors. A neat fire-engine one, a number of Model A looking ones. One of the classers was a Harley-Davidson, in the right colors with the dude dressed in Harley colors. Everyone walking around talking beverages in hand and smiles on their faces.
Ate at the Palmer Legends Country Club in The Villages with Lucy as our waitress fro the evening. We enjoyed the beverages, MA & S, their chardonnay, Shirleen a cabernet, I a Yeungling Lager. They served a half loaf of crusty hearth baked bread. We then ordered a Shrimp cocktail, 5 large shrimp and a tasty horseradish sauce. Mary Ann opted for the Tenderloin Tips sandwich with fries, Steve had a naked (no dressing or spice on it) chicken wrap with chips, Shirleen had a Steak Salad, a medium rare filet steak with candied pecans over bed of lettuce, I a Chillean Sea Bass with a mild sauce, garlic mashed potatoes and almandine green beans.
For a little entertainment we went to the bar dance floor restaurant to see the many bodies stacked along side each other. Dancing and loud music was the eve. Home for a little TV and bed time. Jerry
