The Old Concession Mill

If you need a quick bite to eat or something to drink, you can stop at the Old Concession Mill next to the theater in Lake Sumter Landing.

A paean to the "good old days"

Lake Sumter Landing

The Rialto - Spanish Springs

Ryan Erisman is the owner/author of the The Villages Florida Book, which offers a plethora of information relative to The Villages. Mr. Erisman will be using our photos from time to time to give his readers another view of The Villages.

You can view the first photo in this post.

One-legged legstand

The one-legged legstand did not last long...a mighty wind blew up and almost blew this Egret off it's ropey perch!

Barnes & Noble - Lake Sumter Landing

The Sabal Trust Company (Lake Sumer Landing)

Would you entrust your financial security to a trust company that is located in what appears to be a replica of an old school building? Of course! It's a beautiful building, located in downtown Lake Sumter Landing. I'd go inside but I'm afraid I'd learn something.

Winter in The Villages

The lighthouse at Lake Sumter Landing

Most of our shots of this lighthouse have been taken from across the lake. It looks a bit different up close. You may also recall that the lighthouse building also includes a very popular restaurant which we have yet to patronize.

For some reason, this photo will increase in size if you go "click" on it.

We are very busy selling our house and moving to another part of town. If the past couple days are indicative of what lies ahead, I'll probably be able to only post and comment sporadically for the next few weeks. But I will do the best I can because I hate to miss all the great photos of our CDP friends!

Golf cars at Lake Sumter Landing

Golf cars are the main mode of transportation in The Villages. As you can see, they are versatile - you can park 'em head first or you can back 'em in. This photo was treated with a Triqui colored sketch effect. And it will enlarge if you click on it.

Backing out of Thai Ruby

Although we haven't eaten at Thai Ruby's (Lake Sumter Landing) yet, we hear the food is very good. So, we'll visit soon. I think this gentleman ate his full, and is backing out his golf car to return to his home in the Lake Sumter Landing area.

The photo will get larger if you dare click on it.

Be American?

"Stand up for America!! Be American!!" Hmmm. Wonder what that means? Since I live in the U.S., does that count? If I see George and/or Lois, I'll ask them.

Just to be picky, it should read "Stand up for the USA. Be a USA-an." Still sounds a little defensive.

I mean, Canadians are "Americans" (North Americans). Mexicans are "Americans" (Central Americans). Brazilians are "Americans" (South Americans).

Cody's in Lake Sumter Landing

Until recently, this was a fish place. Now it's a Cody's Roadhouse, just like the Cody's Roadhouse we have in Ocala. Cody's is a fun place, where you can drink beer, eat peanuts and toss the shells on the floor. The food isn't bad, either.

BMW in Lake Sumter Landing

I may be wrong, but I think this car may belong to Safe Leif from Eagan, Minnesota! He didn't tell me he was coming, though. Perhaps he wanted to surprise me. Nah, it couldn't be his; there's no rust spots from the salt used to melt the ice up there.

Nice car, though. I smoothed things over a little bit.

If you go "click" on the photo it should grow larger.

We shall be gone for a few days and I may not be able to post or comment until we get back. But we will be back.
