Almost.....

Look how close I got to a hole-in-one!!  This was my birdie shot on Bonita Pass golf course yesterday, hole #5.  I've always said this is my favorite course in The Villages.  This just confirmed it for me. 

(Note:  The ego got humbled real quick after this.  I got a 6 on the next hole!)

The View from our Lanai

They started building houses behind us.  Yay!  Some people may think that is a bad thing, but we think it's great.  It's been literally a dust bowl behind our house since we moved in.  But the building has been going crazy for the last two weeks.

This was last week.

This is this week.  The concrete truck in the background is actually pouring at the house across the street from the house in our backyard.  So our view of the golf course is about to come to an end.  But so is all the dirt on the lanai.

Happy Birthday Sam!

I wish we were together at Disney World to celebrate your birthday.  Have a fun day.  See you next week!

Love,
Grammy

Happy Birthday Leah

Our baby turns 30 today.  Wow, how did that happen?  We love you Leah.  Happy Birthday.  Make it a great one!

Adventures in Moving

We can never make anything easy.  We closed on our new house on Monday, May 16 and on our villa on Friday, May 20.  But the buyers had agreed to let us stay in the villa until the end of the month.  That would mean that we had two weeks to move.  So a nice, easy, leisurely move, right?  Have you ever done anything with Gary?  Nothing is easy and leisurely.  He decided on Tuesday afternoon after our closing that we should move that day.  So he rented a truck and we started moving furniture.  We finally dragged the mattress into the house on Tuesday night and got to bed at midnight.  Then Wednesday we finished moving everything else, cleaned the villa and were out of there by 3:00pm.  Whew! 

Because it was such a whirlwind I didn't get any pictures except this one of him moving the grill on the back of the golf cart.

In the end, I'm glad it worked out this way.  By the end of the month we were pretty well settled into the new house.  I'll take some pictures with furniture and post them soon.

More Disney Fun

I'm so happy that Samuel and Leah love Disney World as much as I do.  We had a great time!

He's over 40

40 inches that is.  Samuel was finally tall enough to ride some of the "big" rides at Disney World.

First up was Test Track at Epcot.

Then Soarin'.

And finally, on to Magic Kingdom and Splash Mountain.

Way to go Sam!!
