Week nine at Recreational Plantation Resort - Lady Lake, FL

Playing 18 holes of golf  - Janet, Sam, Mike and me
Mar. 9 - 15    On Saturday we rode our bikes around the park.  There are 850 sites in this resort.  (I forgot to take a picture of our site 803.)  We drove over to my cousins, Janet and Sam's house and Sam had borrowed his brother's golf cart so we would have 2.  We toured the new part of the Villages in the golf carts.  Mike and I still can't get over all the golf carts that are driven around the Villages.  Janet let me drive the golf cart.  It is so neat zooming around in them.  On Sunday Janet and Sam took us to a flea market which had a good fruit and veg. stand.  I bought oranges so I can make fresh orange juice.  I also got strawberries which are so sweet.  It is the height of their season right now.  In the afternoon we drove to our friend from home, Jim Liebmann, who has moved here and built a house and a gorgeous swimming pool and patio.  We had a very nice time visiting him.  On Monday we spent most of the day at Janet's doing laundry.  We came back to our RV to put the laundry inside and when we got to our campsite, there was a big white van in our parking space.  When we got out the people did too and it was Joyce and Larry Space.  They used to live in Pittsford, now they live in VT for 6 mos. and RV for 6 mos.  She had followed my blog and when they got in this area they looked us up.  We made plans for Wed. night.  After they left we got in the car and drove to another Piffsford friend's house, Dianne Newhouse.  She lives here for 6 mos. and Pittsford for 6 mos.  The 3 of us went out to eat at Woody's Bar-B-Q. As Mike says," best ribs ever".  On Tuesday it was raining so we went over to Janet and Sam's house and they drove us to the new town square they are building here in the Villages, called Brownwood (has a western theme).  This will make town square number 3. We then took Janet and Sam to Woody's for dinner.  On Wednesday we hung out at the RV.  At 5:00 we met Joyce and Larry and ate dinner at a Mexican Restaurant then they came back to our RV to play cards.  On Thursday we went golfing with Sam and Janet.  They had a special that day for 18 holes, cart and dinner, so we had dinner there.   On Friday we were on the road at 10:30.  We arrived at Bryn Mawr which is right on the ocean around 2:30.  Our site is 105 and we are about 5 sites in from the walk over the dunes to the beach.  We got settled and then took our cocktails down to the beach and sat there for about 2 hours - we love this place. That night we ate dinner with friends, Evelyn, Tom and Mary at the Sunset Grill.
