Hagen Daaz on the water at Lake Sumter Landing

We've enjoyed many happy times here eating ice cream and people watching.

Honest John's Whiskey & Provisions

This building has through several configurations. Most recently, it was a TGI Friday's. But that didn't work, so now it's transformed into Honest John's Whiskey and Provisions. It appears to be a typical casual restaurant, much like TGI Fridays. We have not eaten there yet as the menu was not to our tastes.

It is located in Lake Sumter Landing in The Villages.

Bob and Friend

We met Bob and his handsome canine friend in Lake Sumter Landing.  It was a beautiful day and they were relaxing on a bench.  He graciously consented to have his photo taken after his friend insisted.

Bob is a veteran of the U.S. Army and lives in The Villages.

I have a great urge to say "Woof!" which is "Thank You!" in the Canine Language.

Brownwood Bovine

You will find this bovine gracing the walls of The Villages Sales Offices in Brownwood, one of the three "hometowns" in The Villages. She doesn't have much to say but is interesting to look at; sort of like a Hollywood starlet.

Buena Vista Boulevard and Highway 466

If you drove south on Buena Vista Boulevard for about 2 miles you'd come to Lake Sumter Landing. If you continued south on Buena Vista for another 6-7 miles you'd arrive at the new hometown, Brownwood.

The Darlings

"Dahlin', did you know the Darlings?  They used to live in Manhattan."

"Sure!  You must remember.  They're the folks who tried to drive a golf car down Fifth Avenue and were almost run over by a cab. I heard they sold their golf car to someone in The Villages."

"Thank you, Dahlin'.  Now I no longer have to worry about them."
