Back to the Lighthouse Point Restaurant with Daytona Beach visitors...

Saturday, Rich went back out on the courts for the first time since he pulled the calf muscle.  Did some easy drills and only played a few games so as not to irritate it too much.  I expect that he will be back out on Monday for a short time as well.  I went over to the Seabreeze Rec Center for Bunco in the afternoon and won $15!!!!    We had pretty much settled in for the evening, and checking through the Channel Guide we found there was absolutely nothing on TV  that either of us wanted to watch.  So we  hopped on the golf cart just before 8:00 and headed down to Sumter Landing.  There was  DJ there tonight, and we arrived just as they were getting ready to do the Cuban Shuffle!!!   I went back out after that and did two or three more line dances.  Good test for the knee....; today it's fine!!!  So, I think I might join the group at Churchill for a few games in the morning and see if the knee will hold up.   Hope So!!!!  I took a couple of pictures last night, but they were pretty bad.  There was a beautiful moon out last night - but my camera did it no justice at all  :(

Today we got to meet some new pickleball friends.  Anita Rimler is our newest USAPA Ambassador for Daytona Beach Shores here in Florida and with the help of her husband George they will be introducing pickleball in the Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach area.  We had never met them, but since they were new to the game we  put them in touch with our friend Coach Mo.  They made the trip over for some "private lessons" with the Coach today. 

Pictured above is George and Anita, Coach Mo and Rich. 

We met up with them at the Laurel Manor Courts and then headed down to Sumter Landing for lunch at.............where else?  The Lighthouse Point Restaurant.  By now, if you have been reading this blog you know that we've been there at least four or five times in the last couple of months.  It's definitely one of the locals favorites.   George and Anita opted for the house specialty " Haddock".  George with the platter and Anita with the sandwich.  Mo ate light with the clam chowder.  Rich opted for the Burger and Fries and I had the Reuben .  As always everything was excellent.   I have a feeling that George and Anita will be back here in the near future to play with some of the pickleball players here.  They were already talking about an extended stay in October so they could take advantage of The Villages PB 101, 102 and 103 instructions as well as Coach Mo's intermediate skills clinics. 

Tomorrow will be pickleball in the morning and then Rich is going to help Mo with his Clinic in the afternoon.  I'll go over and grab a few pictures since Linda and Harry and Karen are planning on being there.  Tomorrow night will be Bunco at Churchill, and then Tuesday morning I think I'll join Karen for a little Zumba Gold in the morning, and then she and Harry are coming to Bunco in the afternoon.  Wednesday we've invited Linda and Jenny over for dinner.   The calender is filling up...... the week will pass too quickly.
