I know, its hard to believe but the talk everyone's been having about heading home is coming to a close. All their plans are made and the month of April "puts the ball in motion!" Many of our winter friends will be heading back during the first week of April. By the end of April everyone should be home...watching the remaining snow banks wither into streaks of sand, salt and dirt on the ground.
On with the blog......
Tim, a friend and "car guy" I work with invited me to see the "hot rods" that were getting together on Rt. 27, north of Rt. 50 in Minneola just north of Clermont, FL. With a DJ playing "oldies" and the owners of these awesome machines enjoying showing off their "pride and joy," Lilly and I enjoyed checking things out.
Below is Pat's favorite "oldie!"
I'm kinda partial to the '55 Chevy.
This is Tim's Mustang.
I think Pat misses her '65 Camaro!
Oh look, there's a "For Sale" sign on it!
Too bad, we had to go............ We have a party to go to!
The PTBs had our final party!
I'll let the photos speak for themselves!
We started off with grace.
Then hit the tables!
Our very own "Activities Director" Larry, emptied his camper bays and set the field for some serious competition and called out......"Let the Games Begin!
We learned today that Judy ran the Clermont 5k "Pig on the Pond BBQ" Marathon... and WON!
Congratulations Judy!
The winning "trophy" is a wine bottle holder with a neat sliding cover.
(Sorry, no wine in the box... instead (as you might expect from a BBQ contest) a bottle of BBQ sauce!)
Judy asked Sandy (an avid walker) to enter while the other three in Judy's photo had already signed up.
Congratulations to one and all!
Thanks to Judy, here's a photo of our runners. (I think Jim is her Official Photographer.)
Left to Right; Judy, Sandy, Barbara, Joann and Kathy (in the front).
The weather was just right. We were also very lucky to enjoy some shade as the sun heated up the day nicely.
And the "kids" continued their games!
It really wasn't this cold.
To top it off, the next day we had Bill and Angela and Buzz and Darlene over for lunch....and a yummy cake!
Then, the very next weekend they all showed up to our house again with another cake!!!
I finally caught on as to why all the cake!
Ah, life is good! One more year before I hit the big 7 0! Gulp!
How can the years go by so quickly. Above is my Mom, Dad, big brother Bob and yours truly in front of my Mom.
Due to rain, we all missed the bike ride this week! But not our lunch!
Miller's Ale House was perfect for a rainy day.
If figures, no one wants their picture taken at my table!
I'll beat Lilly to the "punch" (so to speak) and add my 2cents worth for her....
She "studies" everything!
She's always alert for squirrels and lizards.
Here's a first for her. She and I headed to the Minneola fenced in dog run.
No leash, she didn't know what to do.
She's getting the idea of how this works.
She met a few doggie friends and got to check out lots of new smells.
But, I think she liked having her leash back on!
I think Lilly likes her walks around the neighborhood better.
You can tell, she's smiling! Or does that mean she's hot?
What's that you say? No "zinger" this post?

Yee of little faith!

After the party Larry took off with a few of his buddies to "take it to the streets!"
