Alesa fell off her bike a few weeks ago and bruised some ribs so we are taking it slow while she is on the mend.
Trip Log
March 10, 2024
Got the pool heater fixed with our home warranty and are waiting for the weather to warm a bit more. Spent a lot of time planting in the front yard. We needed something to replace the tree and wanted a cactus, a Peruvian Pear cactus to be exact.
February 29, 2024
The salt cell has been installed for the pool. The flow sensor he installed was bad and it took a few days to find a replacement but, now it is in and operating. We still have a problem with the heater not turning off when it reaches the set temperature.
February 13, 2024
On the 1st we had a visit from our next-door neighbors from the Villages. Dan and Dale Marx landed in Phoenix on their way to a wedding in Tucson. So, they stopped for a visit on the way and to wait for the rest of their family to arrive.
January 27, 2024
Took a nice bike ride today around our extended blocks for over 9 miles and over an hour.
January 14, 2024
We celebrated the New Year on EST (10 PM MST) and went to bed. The time difference has also been good for football watching since the late games finish and we haven't missed our bedtime. Been busy and are just about at a 'home maintenance' mode.
December 28, 2023
We went to the Heard Museum in downtown Phoenix today. It is a native American museum about tribes across the USA. We took one tour and then toured on our own.
December 27, 2023
Today, we drove out to Gold Canyon and Mike, Jeff, Bailey, Alesa and I walked the trail. We had walked it earlier this year but only Jeff made it all the way to the Petroglyph Spring. It is a rocky trail mostly uphill but this time we were determined to make it and we did.
December 26, 2023
Picked up Mike at the Phoenix Airport at noon on Christmas Day. We then had a very nice Christmas celebration at our house. Today, I attended a video conference with the VA on the spine, which I was required to do before I could get physical therapy with them.
December 24, 2023
Celebrated Christmas Eve with Jeff and family and Facetimed with Mike and his girls back in Phoenixville. It is the first party held in our new home and it went very well. Jeff had smoked a ham and Bridget made a nice vegetable plate, to name a couple of highlights of a very nice night.
