Good Bye Villages

We’ve spent the last two weeks at the Villages.  I want to make some cracks about the golf carts or the average age of people down here but it just doesn’t seem right.  Spoiler alert:  The average age is “older” and the golf carts are not only functional but fun.  We have had some wonderful times here.  Before my brother Bill left for Green Bay, he and I got in a final bit of tennis. 



It was sad to see Bill go but it was terrific that Erin and

Kathleen were able to make the trip down for a visit!  We were able to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, had some wonderful meals and also had great visits with some cousins and friends from home.  While were here we met some exceptionally nice people (not Jen the waitress at Too Jays).  We’ve run into more than a few people from Wisconsin and some were even from Green Bay!   

We did have some rain (sorry Kathleen and Erin) but in

general the weather has been close to ideal.  Our hosts, Bill and Karen Early, could not have been more gracious or generous! We loved the home they let us borrow and their new place is even nicer.  Barb and Bruce Hoag were nice enough to travel up to the Villages for a fun lunch and as my mother would say, “we had such a nice visit”.  It’s too bad we don’t see them more often.   

We head for home soon and I gotta say, The Villages was a wonderful part of this journey.
