Memories...........

Remember last summer when we used to go out for lunch every Tuesday with Auntie Colleen and Auntie Cecile???  Well......

........ we've started up again!  And this time we had extra participants!  Left to right: Granny Maureen, Nanna, Poppa, Auntie Colleen, Auntie Cecile and Uncle Mark.  Gramps was there too, but he took the photo.  I think we all had a good time, and enjoyed the food and the company - I know I did!  We ate at the Couchiching Golf & Country Club - which happens to be where Poppa goes golfing - often with Uncle Mark!  This got me to thinking, every winter we take Poppa and Squeegie to Longhorn Steakhouse for their birthday.  We did that as usual in Feb/17.  Taffy's birthday is in March, so we let her choose............

........and she chose Olive Garden.  We had lots of leftovers to take back to the Villa - and we were quite pleased about it.  While looking for this picture I found a couple of others from Florida that I'd like to share - if you have the patience to browse through them.

The entrance to the new development where our new villa is located.

The guardhouse, just inside the gates.  If you are a resident, you get a card for the electronic gate - if you don't have one you stop at the guardhouse and if you have credentials or if you give them the number of the villa you wish to visit, they will let you in!  

When we went for strolls around to see the new areas being built, Poppa was always scanning the golf course for lost balls.

There is quite a lot of lots still available and the construction crews are out in force.  You can see how many they work on at the same time - and that is only a small portion of them!

And, across that pond where Poppa is standing is the space marked out for more new homes to be built.  It's a really large development!  Anyone want to see another pair of socks??

Lucy picked this pair - made from Opal Cotton Premium.
