The Gatehouse is located in one of the cottage type houses on the Lakeside Inn grounds in Mt. Dora. It is a beautiful old inn that was built in 1883 sits on a lake and offers lawn bowling, croquet, Bocce, etc. You can also swim in the pool right at the edge of the lake and take boat and seaplane rides. Sort of reminds me of the grounds of the movie "Dirty Dancing"! Everyone in her shoppe is handmade and taken on consignment. She took 9 of my jewelry sets and 21 separate pendants and pairs of earrings! I was thrilled! She will try to sell them for 3 months and order more if it goes well. Time will tell!

We walked around the town and got back to Willie around 4:45. After some more clean-up we took a walk around the CG and played some shuffleboard. Stopped playing after about 20 minutes - just too tired and it was already 6:30. Finished our 10,000 steps, made supper, cleaned up and we are about ready for "take-off" tomorrow morning, hoping to be back home by Friday afternoon. It was 85 degrees here today, so we are not too excited about the cold temperature on our way home and in PA!
Have safe travels...glad you missed that mess two days ago! Neil and I were both off Monday & Tuesday. I just wasn't scheduled and he was off because of rain & snow. That turned out to be a blessing...my Mom ended up in the emergency room via ambulance on Monday morning around 10:00. She had another spell and passed out on the caregiver. Dad called me asking for help and I encouraged him to call 911! After two days and every test you can think of, it has been determined that she was dehydrate! I do know that she just never seems to drink anything, but it turns out that when you get older you lose your thrust taste sensation. Think I am saying that right. Anyway, they are home safe again. Yesterday, we were with them from 8:30 to 5:30. My brother helped on Monday, but was having health problems also, and my sister is recovering from bronchitis. It was a very long, trying day! Hope you have great weather till you hit the cold! It is just wonderful about you jewelry business...you go girl! Diesel must not be dehydrated :) See you soon.
