And the Heat…

…goes on, literally.  I don’t know when it happened, or how it happened but it happened, and it hurts.  Last night I was watching TV, and when I sat down I was fine, I had no aches, no pains.  I guess I sat for an hour or two and when I got up my shoulder […]

A great day…

…for walk, and Wilkerson Creek may be just the place to take one.  I’m sure many of you are familiar with this particular area of The Villages, but for those of you who are not, it is right in the Lake Sumter Market Square area.  It is on Old Camp Road, which is the road that Barnes and Noble is on and […]

A Fun in…

…the sun day.  Saturday the Florida Lottery came to Paddock Square at Brownwood to kick off the new 3 Million Dollar Flamingo Fortune scratch-off ticket and to also showcase their new lottery logo. The 20 year old logo literally got a facelift, although the state offices call it a refreshing.  According to officials, the font is more playful, and the flamingo’s […]

Oh, Henry…

…my friend.  It didn’t matter that it was a cold, damp, drizzly day in New Jersey, as I was going to meet several of my friends that I had worked with, prior to my retirement.   We were all real estate salesmen, and I wound up, after several years in the business, being their Branch […]

I’m back…

…and it’s time once again, to talk about one of my favorite activities in The Villages, and that is The Villages Lifelong Learning College. It was imperative that I got home Tuesday, as two of the three classes I had signed up started Wednesday.  Fortunately the storm that swept across Virginia co-operated with my agenda, and I was able […]

This could be…

…a picture taken 50 years ago, but it isn’t.  It was taken a few days ago as my Grandson and his girlfriend were arriving home from school, for their afternoon raid on the refrigerator.  When you think of how drastically our lives have changed since our own teenage years, it is quite amazing that the Varsity Jacket is still […]

You have to believe..

…that your horoscope really knows what you are up to.  In recent years I have taken very few pictures.  I stopped taking pictures when I realized on vacations and the like, I was spending more time taking pictures than I was just enjoying my surroundings.  I was more concerned with gathering friends around a table […]

I arrived…

…yesterday afternoon to sunny, warm weather and then woke up this morning and looked out my window and was surprised at what had happened overnight.  Anyone who grew up with snow will have very fond memories of it.  We might not like to shovel it, or drive in it, and it does only come when it is […]

It’s 5 am…

 …in the morning and I am heading North.  Really excited now about seeing everyone: family, extended family and friends.  The time will fly by fast and I will be heading back South before I know it.  I’ve been watching the weather and earlier in the week there was a lot of chatter about a snowstorm […]
