Busy Day in The Villages

After breakfast, and our doing some work, we left to have lunch at the Lighthouse Restaurant.  It was beautiful out and we ate outside.  Since Ida had just come from below zero temperatures, it was a treat for her to sit outside in the sun.

We went over to Sumter Landings' Sales Office, thinking we could get on a tour bus.  However, it was going to be a two-hour wait.  We decided not to wait.

 

Instead, we took Ida for a tour of the Historic District (the original area with manufactured houses).

 

From there, we went to Dollar Tree, and then the Marion Flea Market, where Ida got a lot of bargains.  She got a designer purse for $2 and four pairs of earrings for $1.  She had a fun day.  I bought pushers for my mah jongg set.  I found them for a few bucks cheaper than anywhere else.  Terry bought a light-weight shirt to wear to weigh in - for $1.

 

We stopped at Entenmanns on the way back to buy mini bagels and then drove by the high priced homes in the Harmswood Area of The Villages.

 

After resting (Ida sat outside), we had dinner and then were picked up by Diane and Tom to go to the Orange Blossom Opry.  This is a high- energy show with very talented musicians and Lorri Gill, a singer with a fantastic voice who changes clothes after every song!  If you want to check her out click on the link below.  In one number she takes old 45 records out of her bra and golf balls and finally a golf club!

We had suggested the show to Joy (our friend Elaine's niece) and we met them there.
