Awake: 7:11am Temp 50 sleep 6+38 fog, then sunny overnight @ Bushnell, FL.

K & I walk the campground (30) min for exercise. Then Kathy makes a quick breakfast of eggs over easy with bacon & whole grain toast.

Mid morning, we begin making phone calls to some of our cousins & friends who are living in Florida & we would like to visit.

About 12:30pm, we drove to Lady Lake (40) miles & enjoyed another visit with Jeri & Gene, Ben & Jackie & Jackie’s mother, Geneva, & her sister, Aunt Marie. They were playing “Mexican Train” when we arrived but quickly ended that hand & decided to all go out for lunch @ the Perkins Restaurant. Even though K & I had eaten just a few hrs before, we joined in with the gang & ate a good healthy Tilapia fish lunch. En route back to Gene & Jeri’s home, Gene tours us past the Village’s almost finished…care Center complex; quite impressive from the outside. In lieu of playing Mexican Train back @ Jeri & Gene’s place; they introduce us to the game of “31” which we played for about an hr while Jackie took her mom & aunt shopping @Wal-Mart. Again, it’s time to say our goodbyes to Gene & Jeri for now. We took Ben back to his house, about (2) blocks away, where Jackie, Marie, & Geneva were relaxing. Marie lives in Littleton & gave us her address, suggesting the next time we visit Katrina we look her up. After a quick tour of their home & a short visit, we had to be on our way.

We drove over to visit Karen & Steve @ their home in the Villages, arriving a little after 6:00 pm. Steve & Karen were hungry & suggested going to the Shake & Steak restaurant. Here Kathy & I have “only” a bowl of soup. Then we return to their home & spend the next (2) hrs playing the game of “Sequence” which the girls won over us guys: (5---3). We found this game fun, quick, & somewhat challenging so K & I will be on the lookout to add it to our inventory as well.

We returned to our bus @ 11:30pm & finished watching the movie: “Tale of Two Cities” with Ronald Colman, Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver, Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone, Blanche Yurka, etc. Dickens’ panorama of the 1780’s French Revolution becomes an MGM blockbuster, with Colman as carefree lawyer awakened to responsibility, aiding victims of the Reign of Terror. 1935. This was a truly lavish production in its day & most fascinating to watch.
Lights out: 1:35am
