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.
Trip Log
March 12, 2013
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.
March 10, 2013
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.
March 9, 2013
Don't forget your clocks tonight. Today we laid sod. It took about three hours and it looks pretty good. We are now relaxing.
March 8, 2013
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.
March 4, 2013
The weather has been rather cool although it is supposed to warm up a bit. Alesa worked in the flower beds today and I coordinated the ordering of the sod. The yard is contoured so we will sod this weekend.
March 2, 2013
Yesterday we rode the bikes around town and stopped at the beach for some metal detecting. It has been cool and breezy so it wasn't very crowded. We spent about an hour and collected a quarter, a nickel and a gold wedding ring along with a lot of foil wrappers and a few bottle caps.
February 27, 2013
We rode the bikes this afternoon and got caught in some slight rain showers but they were refreshing. There is red tide around and everyone on the pier was coughing due to it.
February 27, 2013
This morning we are relaxing and enjoying the cooler weather (72) and will ride the bikes to the beach later. Yesterday Alesa mowed the lawn and I replaced a ceiling fan, a light switch and fixed a chair. It was hot (93) and humid and we are not quite adjusted to the warmer temperatures.
