| This is
the beautiful little cottage we stayed in at the Shamrock
Thistle & Crown Bed & Breakfast in Lady Lake. Notice the HUGE
pecan tree that towered over it! |

Attempting to take
self photos in our room... |
 |
| This is
the main house where other people were staying... |
 |
 |
 |
| Our
Innkeepers were so hospitable; here is Brantley and Anne
Overcash; |
 |
|
 |
Here we are enjoying
our private porch...
|
 |
| Saturday
we went to The Village's Town Square called Sumter Landing. Here
we are in a restaurant called Johnny Rockets. We played a
few songs on the Juke Box while we ate. |
|

 |
| After
dinner we sat down at the pavilion in the middle of town.
Each night they have entertainment, and people come down, take a
couple of plastic chairs off the pile and sit down wherever they
want. We found that we were uncomfortably comfortable with
this retired crowd. We closed the place down at
9:00!! (yes, Rick actually missed Bill O'reilly AND he
got up and danced a few times!) |
 |
This cute couple was
in their 80's, they danced almost every dance. |
 |
| Saturday
we went to the Austin
Carriage Museum. We weren't allowed to take photos
inside, but it was spectacular! We spent about 3 hours
there. Then we drove around the property, the Austin
Foundation owns about 385 acres that is dedicated to
horses. |
|

 |
 |
 |
|
 |
| This cute
"little" house was across from the Austin Museum - we
thought it looked very nice up on the hill. |
 |
|
 |
| After the
Museum we went to The Village's second Town Square, Spanish
Springs. |
 |
 |
 |
| Almost
every restaurant had seating outside so you could eat while
watching the crowd go by. Perfect for people-watchers like
us. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
There was a car show
at Spanish Springs, they must have had over 100 cars
there! Everyone got to vote for their favorite
car. |
 |
 |
Rick and I both
selected the car we'd like to drive! |
 |
|
 |
Rick became a bit
enamored with a young lady sitting on a bench... |
 |
|
Saturday night we stayed at Spanish Springs, they had a couple
singing (above). Our favorite person to watch was a guy they
called Buffalo Bob. We had already seen Bob the night before
work his magic. He could barely walk, but somehow Bob
managed to dance with more women than any guy there! That's
Bob sitting by himself on the left, waiting for the women to
arrive. (and that's also Bob dancing with a few women in the
other 2 photos!)

 |
| Each
morning we were served a delicious homemade breakfast. This
is the room we ate in, and we met some very interesting and
entertaining people. |
 |
 |
 |
| Brantley
showed his Irish humor Sunday morning after breakfast! (he may
have as many jokes as Rick does!) |
