We had our lunch connoisseurs Nov. 14 at Doc’s Pub & Grill located in Dade City. This was a nice, cozy restaurant with several television screens tuned to sports channels.
Bill and Pidge Elliott hosted the lunch, and 46 people attended. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and each patron was given a raffle ticket for a meal certificate before lunch even started. This was a nice touch and all had expectations of winning.

We had our community-wide yard sale Nov. 15 where certain houses had sales in their driveways. There were many houses that participated in this event and lots of merchandise to choose from.
Several houses had many a knick-knack, while other places sold several pieces of furniture. There was something for everyone, and it was fun just browsing.
They also had a rummage sale in the community center where they sold loads of donated items and numerous books. There were so many books that some people had trouble choosing what they wanted to read.
There was a bake sale with countless goodies, and lunch also was served. This way, people could order lunch and be able to stay and not leave the park.
I hosted a luncheon for the women of Grand Horizons and guests Nov. 20 at Blackstone’s Reef & Grill. Ten women enjoyed a lovely luncheon and had a lively conversation.
The service was excellent, the food very tasty, and the waiters and waitresses bent over backward to help us in any way, shape or form.
We had one entire section of the restaurant, so it literally felt like a private room. Many pictures were taken, and our waitress was nice enough to take a picture of the entire group.
After the lunch, four door prizes were given away. Everyone went home happy and content.
Approximately 20 people enjoyed a new activity added to our already big list of activities. On Nov. 20, it was movie night hosted by Cheryl Leone. The movie was “Bridesmaids” starring Melissa McCarthy.
It created lots of laughs among the people that attended the event, and everyone seemed to have a good time.
The next movie, Cheryl tells me, is in January.
