March 5 Monday Day 8

March 5 Monday Day 8
Another nice breakfast for us, along with yesterday’s leftovers. We went for a walk to burn off calories and get the heart pumping. Steve then suggested that I take the car over early, good thought. We got there about 10:30 and they had not received the hose but should soon. So we took off toward the house and ran through a Starbucks for another coffee.
We got home and dressed for the day. On to lunch, seems to be a never ending saga of where and what we ate. This time Steve talked me into a Firehouse sub sandwich shop. Good subs and chili. You can add up to 20 sauces to your chili, I used Emeril’s green kick it up a notch. We then went past the garage and as we did they called the cell phone that it was done, wish they had put in more time than 2 hours for the 500$.
To wash away that event we went to a winery, Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards Clermont FL, using traditional Florida Muscadine grape varieties, there output is one million bottles. The tour was super informative, we found out more than most would want. I asked about there lab, she said we have a real good one, I asked GC’s, and HPLC’s, I realized I went to far but found out that her father was a chemist. I then admitted my son and brother were one also and that I was a runner up to them. We tasted different types and each bought two bottles.
After snackies at the house we went to “Up The Creek” in The Villages for fish of which we were not disappointed. Truthfully, I cannot remember what we had if I do I will update like I am below.

Update for March 3 Saturday
For dinner we went to WC Steakhouse, this is where you never again will want to go to a restaurant that has only opened a week before. We were told 45 minutes well it was much longer, but the redeeming factor was the two for one wines we were drinking, the glasses said WC on them and in Europe I means water closet, rest rooms. Like all good things it came to an end and we ate a very good dinner, mahi mahi, prime cut their way – wood roasted. The waitress was a green card Ukrainian gal, I even guessed where she came from, heavy on the guessed. jerr
