Saturday evening we were invited to dinner with Bill and Linda Kramer. Most of you already know Linda - she's Rich's mixed doubles pickleball partner. And usually the pictures you see are of the two of them out on the courts. But tonight, Rich and I joined them at their home in Sebring.
Linda and I sat at the bar and enjoyed a glass (or two!) of wine and watched as the guys played some Eight Ball. Rich took the first game, then Bill the second, with Rich taking the best two out of three. As Bill says - the fourth game was "just a friendly game."

Dinner was excellent. Bill cooked the steaks to "perfection" as Linda complimented the menu with fresh made cole slaw and baby red potatos perfectly seasoned with fresh herbs from her garden. And a glass of wine. Well, Rich was driving, so one beer while playing pool was his limit for the night. I have asked Linda for the recipe for her cole slaw; this is a must dish for one of our next happy hours.
It was no surprise that Linda brought out the chocolate eclairs for dessert.
Rich took TWO eclairs and Bill grabbed an ice cream from the freezer and they took off for the long anticipated game of chess. While these two seriously contemplated every move, Linda and I sat and shared some great conversations and another glass ( how many is that now?) of wine.
Bill prevailed in the game of chess. After more than TWO HOURS, Rich
resigned........and then ate the last eclair!
We had a wonderful evening. This was so much better than meeting out for dinner. We really need to do this more often.
Sounds like a great night. We sure do miss the two of you! It's nice keeping up this way until we can see you again.
