We spent Wednesday playing 18 holes at Grand Lake and left there yesterday and came down to Silver Springs.  It was only a 28 mile drive and was very nice because we drove all back roads through horse country.  We passed a number of very large and beautiful horse farms with large fenced pastures.  Most of the large, spired stables were better looking than most houses in other parts of the country.  We arrived here just after my cousin Paul and his wife Carol and set up right next to them.  Last night we drove through Ocala and ate at the Horse & Hound pub.  Today we drove down and took a tour of the "Villages" about 25 miles south of here.  We stopped at a Publix on the way back and I got my "Black Jack Cherry" ice cream and Alesa got her Key Lime pie.  We are truly in heaven.
