Golf, lunch, and surprise car show

We golfed this morning/early afternoon, and decided to grab lunch in Spanish Springs at Margarita Republic afterwards.  We sat outside, which gave us a great view of the classic cars that were pulling in for the car show.

These were my favorites:
But the rest were pretty cool, too.

Back in The Villages

I flew back to Florida early early Sunday morning, thanks to my brother who was willing to take me to the airport at 3:00 in the morning.  Brutal, but I couldn't pass up the price!  This was sunrise from the plane.
Monday night, Brad and I went to Katie Belle's at Sumter Landing to see the Donna and Dunning show.  Donna, unfortunately, was ill and couldn't perform, but the Dunning half did a great job on his own.  He dressed as several different singers and performed their songs, along with funny commentary during and between songs.
Here he was Roy Orbison... Or maybe Buddy Holly.  He did both.
Willie Nelson
Billy Joel
Elton John
"Fat" Elvis
The tables were really pretty!
Tuesday we had lunch at Ay Jalisco Mexican restaurant at Spanish Springs.  We had a couple of visitors/beggars by our outdoor table.
Wednesday we golfed at one of the dozens of courses here, and several of the courses have started putting in these alternate holes.  You'd think my putting game would improve with this kind of target!
This morning we went to a line dancing class.  Boy, this gal taught the dance quickly, and then turned on the music, and we'd do the same dance to 3 or 4 songs.  We learned 3 or 4 dances, and they were all supposedly beginner dances, but some were a little tricky!  It was a good workout.  In the parking lot, I saw this great bumper sticker and thought it was cool.
Lunch today was at the Lighthouse restaurant at Sumter Landing.
Brad had the seafood roll.  Very tasty!
I had the fancy grilled cheese sandwich, which came with truffle Parmesan fries.  Soooo good!
We seem to attract the critters when we eat!

Last day in KC

I'll be heading to my brother's house today, so he can take me to the airport at dark-thirty tomorrow morning, bless him!  Wendy and Mom and I got pretty much everything done that we wanted to, as far as getting Mom's place organized.  She's been wanting/needing to do this ever since she downsized and moved in here, but she's just not been physically able to.  So now she's all set to be able to really enjoy this awesome apartment.

We hauled quite a bit of stuff to the dumpster and thrift store.

And got her "pretties" out and arranged where she can enjoy them.
And best of all, Mom is feeling better than she has in a long time, and getting around so much better.  She's been dismissed from physical therapy, she has the okay to drive again, she can walk around her apartment without the cane (and out in public it's really just a just-in-case thing now), and can continue her PT exercises and join in on exercise classes here at her apartment complex so she keeps improving.  I can't believe how wonderfully everything has gone!

Back in Florida tomorrow!
