Bailey moved into his new apartment today but first let's catch up on the news. After many months without rain, we had almost an inch last Friday. After a warm spell it has been cold and windy and last week's rain here in the valley brought snow in the higher elevations.
Trip Log
March 2, 2025
We have been looking for a new car as the Explorer is showing its age with 82,000 miles (I have never had to change the brakes). We have been to all the dealerships over the last two months and had narrowed our search down to Mercedes and Hyundai.

Awesome game, had to watch it again today. Alesa's shoulder is healing nicely. She has been doing passive PT where they mover her arm around to keep it limber. Tomorrow she starts active PT where she moves her arm on her own and begins to build strength.

This morning was Alesa's first follow-up with the surgeon and he explained the surgery in great detail with many pictures. All is very well and she had her stitches removed. She still has to remain with her arch enemy.

In September Alesa was riding her bike on the Queen Creek Wash trail after leaving me so she could get her miles in. A rabbit ran out in front of her and continued down the trail. Usually various creatures dart across the path during our rides but this one continued on.

Steve and Laura played a round of golf with Jeff and Bailey on Saturday at our Trilogy course. They all had a great time and we appreciate Jeff and Bailey for taking them since neither of us can play due to my back and Alesa’s shoulder.
January 24, 2025
Today was outlet shopping at the Premium Outlets on I-10 with a stop at the Chandler Veterans park and the Chandler nature center on the way home. Stopped at Jeff's so Steve and Laura had a chance to visit with Bridget, Bailey and Bailey's girlfriend, Nicki before they leave.
January 23, 2025
Today was a day at the Phoenix Art museum in downtown Phoenix then the famous Prime Rib dinner at the Slate restaurant here in Trilogy. We also did a little (very little) pickleball with jeff and friends who play at our courts every Thursday evening.
January 22, 2025
We all went to the Hangar Café at Chandler airport for breakfast and stopped at the Queen Creek Olive Mill on the way home. Later in the day we all hiked up the Superstition trail at the Lost Dutchman state park. Then it was Mexican food for dinner at the Bario Queen restaurant.

Returned the rental car today and went to Taliesin West, a Frank Lloyd Wright home north of Scottsdale and went through the tour which we downloaded on our phones. We stopped in Old Town Scottsdale for an ice cream sundae at the Sugar Bowl.
