School Spring Break! Saturday the 10th

Since we are not traveling anywhere, time to plan for some fun events. Golfing, zoo and if raining, movies are tops on the list.
The first day of Spring Break, Saturday, we decided to drive to Gainesville to watch Fleming High 2017 Graduate, Lauren Waidner play for UF. Her parents, sister Ellen and grandparents were there to cheer her on (Lauren was so kind to golf with AA almost weekly during her Senior HS year). A grueling tournament, with 36 holes on the first day and 18 on Sunday. She was playing in the individuals group, not on the team competition. 
Lauren walking on Hole 18 (shotgun start, she began on Hole 17, so had completed her first round) this hole was number one of her second round.

AA wasn't in the mood for Mommy paparazzi:

Florida was in first place after first 18 holes.

We ate lunch/early dinner at Satchel's (menu), we enjoyed the fresh Satchel's Salad that is made to feed 2 - 4 people, generous amount for the three of us, we each had seconds ($8). The pizza crust (we ordered the "Major") was heavenly. Not too chewy, very tender dough with a flavor we could not figure out. Really good medium crust, fresh, would love bread sticks made from it. The restaurant was eclectic outside and inside. An old van had seating booths inside, the tables and dinner plates all mismatched. Friendly wait-staff with table service but pay in CASH only at the counter. More uniqueness includes the six homemade sodas. I tried the sampler, looks just like a beer sampler with labels on a board and six small "juice" glasses. The lemonade (Emma Lemma) was not carbonated and tasted fine. There was a lemon-lime soda (Lennie) that had a nice citrus flavor. The cola (Lola) was good with the best being their homemade root beer (Ruby). Two other sodas, not on my good list: one made with Stevia for zero calories (Stevie Z), the other a ginger soda (Ginnie). I am sure there are many fans of these two, but I would pick the lemon-lime or root beer as my favorites. The sampler comes with a newsletter type hand-out, describes some of the restaurant's history and the origins of the homemade sodas. It's worth a stop if you are in Gainesville - 1800 NE 23rd Ave.

On our way home, Ford spoke to Leaa as she shared her new Ancestry DNA results and the story she discovered was of a surprise to all!! New first cousins (at least six)! That's a story for her family to tell someday!
