Naples

Leaving Anna Maria is always hard for me as I do feel some strange connection to that area. Before leaving Bob and me managed to golf 15 holes and decided to forgo 18 as the play was so slow and we had to drive a couple of hours to Naples. We arrived at Peter and Cindys just in time for cocktail hour, that is what I call perfect planning. The area they live in is a gated community called Cedar Hammock located directly on the golf course overlooking the 9th hole. The area surrounding there place is beautiful. They will spend about 2 months off and on over the next year as they are not yet retired. The first night here we had take out from a place called Michelbob's the food was really good and it should be with my name and bobs all is one place.

Bob and Peter scheduled a tennis match with some of the local men and Cindy and me took a nice walk through their development. I have not played tennis for a long time and decided to give it a try with Peter as my partner against Bob and Cindy. I was surprised at how much I had not lost I am pretty sure we could have beat them(my competitive talk) had we played longer. We went for lunch at a place called grouper and chips After a nice beach walk we settle in for great burgers cooked by Peter. Our last day here and we managed to golf 18 holes at Cedar Hammack Bob, Peter and myself. I played a great round of golf for only having golfed a few times in the fall. Heading back to Minnesota is always bitter sweet I do get to catch up with the kids and see the grandaughters.
