On the road again -sunny skies. We were on the road early and headed down the 17 onto the 95 and then to the 301 to a Fairfield Motel on a exit off the 10 outside of Jacksonville. A long day but traffic on the side roads was good and no stress. Dinner and a movie.
Monday we woke to thunderstorms and grey skies and the drive down the 301 towards the villages was in and out of rain showers. Going thru Ocala we were rear ended by a lady driving a red Dooley hauling a horse trailer. Bernie thinks she was going to run the red light but we had stopped for it. No one hurt and no real damage but we don't think there would have been any $$'s if there had been damage. She didn't hang around. Stopped at the Orange store near Citra and picked up a few items for the food list. Arrived at the The Villages and had a great lunch with Ivan and Dianne before we continued on down the 75 and 275 to Sharman and Roy's for dinner and the night. All is well with them.
Tuesday woke to cold and grey skies again but the sunny spot was we were able to get into our room #25 a day early. No need to change rooms after one night and we could stock up on groceries and unpack. Yeah. Met up with Karen, Bob, Leigh, Cathy, Adrian, Barb and Lornie who are all staying at Ocean 12 just down the beach. The boys headed to a Toronto - Tampa hockey game ( TO lost ) and Lornie drove the girls to Beall's . Public, and a Health food store for a shopping time. Everyone found something - Lornie a cherry pie, Cathy shirts, Karen shoes, and I found Vicki and I "prom dresses" for $12.50 each !!! Bernie asked who I was going with :-)
Wednesday the rain was gone but a cold front had moved in and it was windy and cold. We all headed to the Toronto - Philly game at Dunedin which was exciting especially the last 2 innings where Toronto came from behind 7-2 to tie the game. A quiet evening with the gang.
