Dinner with the Greenfields

Thursday I went back to Bealls to get Rich his pair of Nike Sneakers. They were on sale with 25% off and on Thursdays, if you show you are a Florida resident you get an additional 15% off. Nothing else real exciting.

On Friday evening we met Greenie and Kathy again for dinner. This time at Red Sauce, a nice Italian Restaurant in the Lake Sumter Landing Town Center. We'd been here with them a year ago, and the meals were very good. They were having dinner specials this week for $7.99. Rich had not a thing to eat except a donut at Dunkin Donuts that morning, so he asked how much smaller the portions were for the specials. The waitress said that the portions were probably about half the normal size. So Rich elected to stay with the FULL portion. He and Greenie did the Speghetti and MeatBalls, and Kathy and I did the Fettuchini. I opted for the Primavera with the vegatable - but was not pleased with the meal at all. Everyone else's was OK. They really should tell you if they are going to put mushrooms in your meal.............Or maybe I should have known when they said vegatables. But then again I've never had peas in my Primavera either.

After dinner we went back to our place for coffee and dessert. We had brownies and fruit; pineapple and strawberries dipped in white chocolate.

The best part of the evening was just being with friends, enjoying the company and conversation. I'm sure we'll do this again in a month or so. We still need to get to their place and meet Molly, their Golden Setter.

On Saturday morning after pickleball we met up with 8 or 10 other players including Mo and Jeanne, Charlie and Joan and Golf Cart Joe at the SonRise Cafe for our weekly breakfast.

I have to call after 5:30 this evening to find out whether or not I'll be driving to Dade City tommorrow for Jury Duty. This just is not fair. I have been called four or five times since we moved to Florida, and Rich has not been called once.!
