Lunch With Friends

A few months back we all compared our schedules and knew that during the first week of February Rich and Dee and Tony and Ruthann and Rich and I would all be the TT Park in Clermont. The weather this week, like most of this winter, has been cold and rainy, but the weatherman said Thursday and Friday would be rain free. Rich and Dee and Ruthann play pickleball in MeadowPointe with Rich and I. We gave our good friends Don (who also plays with the group) a call and invited them up for the day. Unfortunately Rich and Dee forgot that they had a show (they sell sterling silver jewelry) scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Leesburg.

On Friday morning - the weather man changed his mind and informed us that the day would be cloudy and windy and that rain was in the forecast for the afternoon. So we got the grill going a little early.

Here is Ruthann and Tony

And this is Linda and Don along with Cheyanne and Dakota.

Rich and Don chat while our lunch cooks on the grill.

So - did the rain hold off? Well, funny you should ask. The grilling was done, so we brought out the salad and chile and fruit and everyone began to fill their plates ...........and it started to rain. Not real heavy but enough that we moved the food back inside. The light rain lasted maybe 3 or 4 minutes and stopped............

We enjoyed lunch under the awning. The food was good and the time with friends even better. We missed you - Rich and Dee.

And yes - by 3:00 when it was time to meet at the courts for pickleball the rain had started. The thunderstorms began and it rained until after dark.

Looking for sunshine tomorrow!
