We arrive at The Villages

On Wednesday morning, June 1st, we closed up the 5th wheel for the summer and were on our way to The Villages, Fl before 11:00.   With the exception of some pretty heavy rain storms along the way, the 3 hour trip was uneventful.  But we were so glad that the rain held off until we had finished closing things up. 

We arrived around 2:30 having stopped along the way for a quick lunch and a coffee refill at McDonalds just south of Clermont, and then again at McDonalds in Leesburg so Rich could get a milkshake!
We were back in familiar territory; this was the same villa that we stayed in last year.   On Thursday morning Rich headed out to Pimlico Rec Center to play pickleball.  I headed out to Publix to stock up on groceries for the week. I whipped up a  batch of Chicken Enchilladas and we ate in that night.   A very nice couple that we had met at the pickleball tournament in LA in April  Marty and Prissy Martin,  had arrived for their two week visit and we made plans to hook up the next day. 

So on Friday morning Marty and Prissy met me at the Churchill Rec Center where we played pickleball for a couple of hours.  We were the last ones to leave the court!   Above are both of them along with Rich and Coach Mo.   Rich had hooked up with  Mo and set up some one one one pickleball coaching for Marty and Prissy for Monday evening at the Pimlico courts.
