We went back to The Villages this afternoon after a stop at the Russell Stover outlet. After a short review with our realtor, Mitzi, she took us around to some pre-owned homes, some spec homes and some home sites. We are getting closer to a decision, we think.
Trip Log
Today is St. Patrick's Days and we walked over to Wal Mart for groceries then Alesa read by the pool while I did some repairs then read the Sunday paper and practied the guitar. We then watched the Red Oaks St. Patrick's Day parade go by the trailer.
Today we drove back south for about 75 miles to visit with Pat & Tracy and their son Pat in St. Pete's. We then went over to the beach and visited with Joey G. and his wife, Tets who are visiting in the states from Holland.
Today was a day of fire and ice. We woke up to 39 degrees then were in the pool by noon as it was 75 and sunny.
We spent yesterday packing up and saying good-bye to Naples. After Craig got home from work he packed and drove up to Tampa to spend the night at Zach's. Craig and Zach got up and out by 4 for a 6 AM flight to Omaha and we got out about 8 or so.
Took a long walk this morning which included the Conservency then back to do a final trimming on the Areca Palm. It was a threatening day with nothing more than a mist so far so we just relaxed and started packing for tomorrow night's departure.
Slept in a little this morning to make up for the lost hour. We rebuilt the piping on the well side of the irrigation system since the check valve had a stone stuck in it and wasn't holding prime and wouldn't pump water.
Don't forget your clocks tonight. Today we laid sod. It took about three hours and it looks pretty good. We are now relaxing.
Five pallets of sod (2,000 sq. ft.) were delivered this afternoon so it will be a busy day tomorrow. Tonight we went to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Janet's birthday with their across-the-street neighbors and then back here to sing and eat the cake Alesa made for Janet's birthday.
Today Alesa began relaying the bricks next to the driveway and I caught up on finances, got a haircut and prepared the yard for the sod being delivered tomorrow. Since the lawn was all dug up I also did some metel detecting and found a few interesting things.
