It sure is getting real close to when the snowbirds leave, but there are still activities at Grand Horizons.
While we may have the old standbys such as bingo, mahjongg, card games and more, we also have outings for the women, and we had one on April 7 at Maggiano’s. From what I understand, the ones who attended had a pretty good time. From the different things that I heard, the menu was varied and the food was delicious.

I spoke to Marilyn, and she told me that not only did the people have a good time, but also with certain dishes on the menu, you got two of those dishes — one to eat at the restaurant and the other to take home. What a sweet deal this was, as you got to relive the outing once you are at home. It sure sounds good to me. There were about 12 people who attended, hosted by Marilyn Webb and Rox-Anne Lamphere. They did a very good job, and our thanks go out to them.
On April 9, we had an HOA meeting in the community center. In this meeting, a lot of news was discussed. Considering that many people had already left to go to their winter homes, the attendance was pretty good.
The following day, April 10, we gathered for a lively game of shuffleboard and, as always, had much fun. Later on, during the day, the residents went to a lunch connoisseur at Bahama Breeze and had a lovely time.
I spoke to Dave Billig, who hosted this event along with Joyce Billig, and he mentioned how everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and the manager of the restaurant brought out appetizers for the group. This was a very nice touch. There were 29 people who got to enjoy this lunch.
Four people from the writing group got together on April 13 at Blackstones Reef & Grill restaurant. We had a lively discussion before, during and after the lunch. The menu had a variety of things to order.
After a lovely lunch, we grouped together in the lobby for a picture and Cheryl, the general manager, took our picture. This marked the end of a lovely lunch. We then proceeded to the home of Barbara Sullins for our readings of our individual stories.
