Another month gone. Soon we will be heading home. But first, what happened last month.

| Pochojka Condo View |
Took another trip over to Daytona Beach to visit Ken and Jeannett Pochojka, Played golf and they treated us to a marvelous steak dinner. Ocean front weather was perfect.
 |
| Meier Kayak |
Talked Paul & Patty Meier into spending a day with us on the Silver Springs River. Lunch at Tommy's BBQ then hit the water. Bob and the two girls in the dingy and Paul in a kayak. Paul proved to be a seasoned kayaker, paddling the full 4 mile trip with an occassional tow for a breather. Weather was perfect. Lot's of gators and turtles, but no monkeys today. Back to the coach for happy hour and cook out. A really nice day with good friends.

| Salt Springs Deer |
 |
| Salt Springs |
Shari and I took a self guided road trip over to Salt Springs just for a look see. Nice day, but warm. The springs provided great snorkeling adventure and wild life viewing. On the way back we took in a true Indian Pow Wow! Chambers Farm Event, we think an inter-tribal event. Lots of dancing, drumming, and special ceremonies, and culture wares for sale. An annual event. Fun!

| Shari Baseline Golf Course |
Bob continued with the mens Thursday golf and Shari connected with some ladies on Monday's. Snowbirds beginning to head back so group is sparse. Last Thursday golfed with Shari and Carol and Bobs friend Dan. Played Baseline, a lovely executive course.

| Rainbow Kayak Trip |
 |
| Upgraded Accommodations |
Shari and I finally got over to kayak the Rainbow Springs River, contracting a shuttle service so we could do downstream to our car. Took us a full two hours and it was beautiful. Had a great day, catching a late afternoon lunch at the Blue Gator in Dunnellon, lunch on the water of the Withlacoochee River. Very nice.

| Polo Match |
 |
| Interior Accommodations |
We arrived at The Villages for our "Life Style Preview", and to our surprise was directed to a very nice upgrade accommodations. The week was a blast, spending time with many Village friends. Golfed two championships courses and two executive courses. Assigned a recommended sales rep and got the opportunity to view numerous properties. As most know, we purchased a three bedroom home and plan on moving our residency to Florida and RV the north in the summer. The Villages is a "Hoot" and lends itself well with our lifestyle. Saw our first Polo match and got to "stomp" the horse divots thanks to the Henslers.
Back to the coach, making plans to depart North. One more trip into The Villages with Meier's and friends before our departure.
