We're off to visit George Thompson and Joanie in their Highlands, NC Get-Away. We've always wanted to visit the Cashiers/Highlands area, so we're excited. The drive started off nice and dry, until we reached the mountains surrounding Cashiers/Highlands, then the liquid sunshine appeared! After arriving at George & Joanie's lovely lakeside home, we learned that we were actually in a temperate rainforest. Who knew???? George told us that it rains over 80 inches per year! Wow! Joanie prepared a fabulous dinner - chicken parmesan, salad, and Italian bread - which we totally enjoyed. After dinner, we watched a movie, and visited, visited, visited. It was such fun getting acquainted with Joanie, and reminiscing with George.

After a delicious breakfast prepared by George, we departed on a tour of the lovely area, including the country club/golf course that employs George, Highlands Falls. All I can say is OMG!!!!! It is beyond description! We rode around the course to view the famous Hole #15, ranked in the top 100 of the most beautiful golf course holes in the world. Yep! Then, we toured the area to include a stop at the Cashiers Farmers market. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Randevu Restaurant, then came back home to watch The Notebook! What a terrific day.

We started the morning by feeding the sweet geese that Joanie has trained! Seriously, she walks out to their dock, and the geese magically appear for oatmeal!
After a wonderful breakfast, we load up for our drive home. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Joanie and George for a most relaxing, fun-filled weekend. Can't wait to see you in Atlanta!

Howey in the Hills, FL
Saturday, March 3, 2018
Our drive to Howey in the Hills was totally uneventful, plus we made it there in record time. As always, we begin our visit with Happy Hour while enjoying Barb and Frank's enlarged screened in porch. There is something incredibly relaxing about golf courses! Naturally, we had an amazingly delicious dinner prepared by two very talented chefs! Our Tricomi fix begins.

After a relaxing breakfast, we head out to play a round of golf on one of my favorite courses. Like always, we saw several alligators from a safe distance. Dinner tonight was prepared by yet another two amazing chefs, Ann and Duncan. We always have such a great time together.

Barb and I made out usual visit to Mt Dora where I shopped at MY FAVORITE boutique on Earth, Em'z on Fifth. I always, always find lovely, unique clothes there. We enjoyed a quick lunch at Gianni's, then headed back home to get ready to return to Mt Dora for dinner at the 1884 Restaurant. The food was okay, but the company was superb!

Barb and I have been walking each morning which will hopefully burn off some calories from all of the delicious meals. Next, we all played another round of golf. I must say that my scores are sooooo much better on the Florida flat courses!
Loved our grilled dinner this evening. The weather has been "chamber of commerce" perfect, and the setting so tremendously relaxing.

Sadly, it's time to drive home; however, the only thing that's making life tolerable is the fact that Barb and Frank will be visiting us next month. Good bye, sweet Louie!
