Ling's 19th Hole

Our good friends from Ohio were here this week, Jan 9 and 10th. for a short visit. They arrived with a cold front, but we had a great time anyway.....we will all have to take a rest as we talked...a lot, haha!!
Left to right are Amy Brooks, Barb Nagel, Jana, and Peg. We have been friends for over 25 years, and have good stories to tell on each other when we get together. On Tuesday, their arrival date, we travelled up to Nancy Lopez CC to hit some balls at her practice facility. It is unique because you can aim at islands in the small lake with the practice balls. Next we went to Glenview CC for lunch, followed by an evening trip to Lake Sumter Landing and market day, with the dance band, Rocky and The Rollers. On Wednesday, we visited Laurel Manor rec center, Beall's Dept. store for shopping, the new Lake Miona Rec Center where this picture was taken in front of a massive stone fireplace, Spanish Springs Town Square for market night and magnetic bracelets, and then to our neighbors, Charley and Nancy, and a visit with them and their Chinese shorthair cats. Back home, Aim and I won our "usual" two out of three games of bid euchre. Thursday was departure, but not before we spent the morning in the sun, as the temperatures on our birdcage were nice and warm. We had a great time, and I hope they did too.
