Day 144 – December 14

Yesterday we talked with our next door neighbor, they are from England and rent out their Villa as well, just like us and many more in the area. Now they have a two week holiday and are here to enjoy their Villa and they happen to play golf as well. So the next thing we know, we are discussing Tee times. The weather is getting better again so being outside is just perfect.

England

So with our neighbor we headed towards Providence, a public golfclub, about 10 minutes from the Villa.

A beautiful course, hole 1 through 9 are within the neighborhood and holes 10 through 18 are a little more into “the middle of nowhere”.

While playing, we had our own golf cart, we looked for pine cones for Christmas!

We had two carts, own for the players, Bram and Brian, and one for the ladies, Sylvia and Camy. Camy enjoyed it as much as all of us, she was the driver of our cart, awesome! Makes her practice for driving lessons, only 2 more years before she can get her restricted license here and drive a real car.

While Bram was playing Camy still had some work to do, she still had to finish one more book prior to school break.

This is Bram in action.

On the course we also saw some turkeys, we have never seen them like this, just walking around.

And besides the turkey how about this gator that took a nap.
When you look right you can see the ball right with his right paw. Are you going to hit it?

For dinner we went out with Frank and Margret at Bahama Breeze, just wonderful. Thank you for an awesome night, we had good fun.

When we got home I finished up on Camy’s “good bye sweets”. Some sweets and a thank you card.

Day 95 – October 26

One more day and the weekend is over, so we better enjoy it.
We took it easy today and just enjoyed the day. We saw this 4 inch grasshopper.

We did however want to drive around a little, so we decided to go over to Providence, a new neighborhood which also has a golf course.

This is a public golf course so everybody is able to play some golf here, maybe we’ll do so now we know. At least we stopped by and have seen what it looks like.

The golf course has been built in a brand new neighborhood as a matter of fact they are still building. We also stopped by at some houses that were still being build, good to see how they do this.

We also stopped at Dollar General. Camy bought an over sized can of Mountain Dew, we do not sell those in Holland.

Later that day I chatted some with my next door neighbor in Holland. She sat on the couch, long pants and socks and I was out by the pool in shorts getting a tan. What a difference!
