Good morning Today, we are off to find mint or mint jelly to serve with lamb. We have invited the Henrys over for dinner tomorrow night and are having lamb. Trish thinks we may find mint at a garden cent so that is where we will start.

Yesterday, John Henry and I went to the hotel to hit golf balls. The old system of just walking over to the pro shop is no more. You have to walk up the road, around a bit, then to the pro shop. We decided to go to another country, so off to Spain. We hit some balls, did some chipping and John took a couple of shots from the sand trap. We wrapped up the day with some putting. Once home, we got Trish and Kelly and had lunch by the pool. I have included pictures of the course and the pool,
Good afternoon. Today, we went to Almancil and Albufeira. Cabanas is very nice, but I would like to be closer to a golf course. There are several on the map in Almancil, so off we went. I was clearly a couple of levels above my pay grade. Just past the course we had entered into the GPS, we found ourselves in a development of homes. The homes were very modern, large, and clearly quite expensive. I guessed they were in the millions. Driving twenty minutes to Spain really isn’t that bad. Next, off to Albufeira for lunch. It is a port with an opening to the ocean, which appears to have been blasted. You will see the entrance in the pictures. Lunch was supposed to be at the Irish Pub.

We ate it, but it wasn't much. Driving through Fero, we took a shortcut to the ocean, but it was a dead end. I believe ...
Good evening to all The Henry's have arrived and now are in their own home. They are a little north of us, about a ten-minute walk. While today was not hot, and the sun did not come out much, I took my sweater off for a bit while Lawn Bowling. Kelly and I went for a walk at 4:30. She insisted we go. There were few people out and around, and overcast. As we walked, I saw a number of flowers, so I thought I would send you some pictures. I have not figured out how to make it neater. SORRY
