Another Busy Weekend

On Saturday - we were due at Kings Point in Sun City Center. Rich was asked to do a clinic for the Pickleball League, primarily for those players who are preparing for the Florida State Senior Games the first week in December.

So it was up very early, and on the road about 6:45 am. A quick stop at Walmart on the way was necessary as I had run out of batteries for the camera. The clinic was scheduled to start at 8:00 am. There was a group of about 25 people there and even two of the Ambassadors, Nancy Meyer and Cindy Eddleman, who will also be playing in the Senior Games, drove the two hours to Sun City to participate.

Here is the flyer that Louann had posted at the courts, and some pictures of Rich demonstrating and then working with the group.

Back in Peace River - Saturday was the grand opening of the Hot Fudge Shoppe. From 11-7 they set up a large barbeque grill and table and chairs out near the shuffle board courts and sold Beef Barbeque, beans, and slaw for$6. From 3-7 a D-Jay played a variety of music. The park is not very full - not like we remember it from the past few years, so there were not a lot of people around.

Sunday morning we headed to the courts to play some pickleball, but there was only three of us. Dick is working now, so can't play in the morning. So Buddy and I attempted a couple of single games, and then we played two on one with Rich two or three times. Didn't play for long, but we played hard and had fun.

The Hot Fudge Shoppe started doing breakfast on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Nice variety. Eggs, Pancakes, Biscuits and Gravy etc. After pickleball we stopped in for breakfast. Two eggs, Two Bacon or Sausage, Homefries, Toast and Coffee for $2.99. It was very good!

Leaving the restaurant - John and Shelly were arriving. Back from Orlando. So we should see them on the courts in the morning. Heinz and Ranate are due in on Wednesday, Jack and Diane on Thursday and Stan and Sally and Travis on Sunday. Ken and Faye should be arriving pretty soon as well, so we should have a great group on the courts .

Here's Stan and Sally !! They moved from Orlando down to Arcadia for their week out, but were in the Wauchula area this afternoon, so they gave us a call, and then stopped by to say HI. We haven't seen them since last winter. I did up a batch of Frozn Dacquari's, and we talked for a while before they headed back to Arcadia. It was SO great to see the two of them again!!
