Pojchoka Dinner

Jeanette on Tee

Got invited to visit friends Ken & Jeanette Pojchoka in Daytona Beach Shores.   They have a very nice condo there, right on the beach with a beautiful view of both the ocean and the inter-costal water way.  They arranged for a golf tee time at the Crane Lakes Golf Club in Port Orange.  Pretty course with lots of water making it a challenging par 66 course.  Fun Time!!  After golf,  a nice happy hour at their place and then fish out.  A great visit.  Back to the park, Bob continues to Golf of Thursday's with a group of guys, now up to three foursomes.  Shari involved with a craft group on Tuesdays.

Theater Gang

Orange Blossom Opry

Friends from the Villages invited us to join them for dinner out and then a show at the Orange Blossom Opry in Weirsdale.  Five couples and great seats.  Shows on Fridays and Saturdays, with headliners on Saturdays and the local cast on Fridays.  We went on Friday, and the cast was great!!  Primarily a country music theme, but mixed in lots more.  Great talent!

On Sunday we got invited for the Packers / Bears playoff game party.  Casey's and Jorgensen's played hosts with the guys watching at Jorgensens and the gals at Casey's.  Six couples, so worked out well.  After the game all joined at Casey's for dinner.  What a great game!!!  Super bowl here we come!!

Golf Casey's / Jorgensen's

On Monday we joined Casey's and Jorgensen's for golf at Baseline Golf Course in Ocala.  A very pretty executive par 64 course.  Guys played ahead of the girls and even though the course was full, play went fast.  Finished day with happy hour at our coach and then a great dinner at Harry's in Ocala.  Fun to be with such nice people.

At the Silver Springs park we once again took advantage of their entertainment program.  This time was Roy Clark and his band.  Weather was sunny, a little cool breeze, but nice.   Roy of course aging, but put on a great show and brought some really nice young talent with him.

Had a nice surprise call and visit from friends Wayne and Shawnee Gayhart stopping for a couple hour visit enroute from Oshkosh to their condo rental in Naples.  Showed them the Ocala Square downtown and a quick lunch at O'Malley's Alley.  Nice to see them.  In spite of all our activity, still getting time to walk and read.  Bob finishing Stieg Larsson's, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and John Grisham's, "The Rainmaker".  Shari finished her cousin Tom Sholes adventure book "The Green Witch", which she really enjoyed.
