A Golf Cart Ride to Breakfast

Rich headed out early this morning to Pimlico for pickleball and returned about 10:15. Generally a group of regular players from Pimlico meet at Dunkin Donuts every morning for coffee at 11:00. But on Saturday morning they meet for breakfast instead.

So Rich and I joined the group this morning at the SonRise Cafe. With the exception of Mo and Jeanne, Rich knows this group better than I do. There were 12 of us there today. Breakfast was reasonably priced and very good, and I got to meet some new people. Pictured from left to right is Golf Cart Joe ( I've heard this name so many times from Rich - today I finally got to meet him. ) Jerry, Rich (and in front of Rich and hidden is Mo), Jeanne, Joan and Charlie, and Louise (in the green top).

We took the golf cart today - so I'll show you the way back to our villa!

Leaving the parking we travel a short road shared by both golf cart and automobile travelers, and take a left which will take us to SR 466, one of the main east/west roads that crosses The Villages. (Golfcart) traffic was quite heavy today as you can see as we enter, and exit, the tunnel that crosses under SR 466 and as we continue to follow Belvedere.

Just a short distance and we pass the Pimlico Recreation Center. Yes this is the Pimlico where Rich plays pickleball on a regular basis. This recreation center has Line Dancing every Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 9:45!!

Continuing along Belevedere we take a right on Ansel, a right on Due West, and a right onto Churchill Street.

Next stop is at the Lynnhaven Pool. No we're not stopping to take a dip, but to check the mail. There are neighborhood pools like this one throughout The Villages, and several of them include post office boxes for residents within that particular Village. Like everywhere else here, the landscaping is always well manicured.

Heading back down Churchill Street we come to the Churchill Street Recreation Center, where Jeanne and I play pickleball most every morning. Churchill is not as elaborate as Pimlico, and we only have four pickleball courts here, while Rich enjoys eight courts at Pimlico. Tuesday night is Bingo here.

We'll take Livingston Loop to Souther Oaks.........

Where we enter the South Oak Villas - which for right now, we'll call our temporary vacation home..............
