Since we will be flying out to France tomorrow night we have been busy getting ready. Alesa has been packing for over a week now and I just started today and am mostly done. We took our Covid tests on Thursday and were notified of negative results just before 10 tonight.
Trip Log
Hectic mostly because we are preparing for our two week river cruise in France with Steve and Laura. There are a number of Covid 'hoops' that need to be jumped through and missing one of them could keep us off the cruise. Both Alesa and I have our boosters and the last test is scheduled.
Alesa received an email from Publix the other day to set up an appointment for her flu shot and her booster. They have been denying her a booster because she is not immune compromised but she set up an appointment for yesterday anyway and I went along to get my flu shot as well.
Been having a little bit of rain and a beautiful rainbow showed up just behind our house. Talked to our son, Mike, the other day and they got a lot of rain from Ida as it passed. Didn't affect them too much but it really did some damage to the Northeast.
Alesa flew to Maine on the 17th and had a great time visiting with Laura. I drove her to Sanford and Steve and Laura picked her up at Bangor before they all went golfing. It was a great trip for her and she has a lot of stories and thoroughly enjoyed herself.
Today we took the bikes down to Craig and Janet's to ride with them at Flatwoods Park. They ride there on a regular basis and it is a very nice park and it is FLAT. It was a great day even though I fell toward the end but finished the 13 mile ride.
Covid cases are spiking in the area. Walmarts in the area are closing because of high rates for the employees. Probably short term while they clean and reinstitute precautions.
Alesa really enjoyed bike riding at Jeff's and she has been riding quite a bit since we got back. She has a very nice bike now, which Craig gave her, but it is built more for speed and long distances rather than for cruising.
Continuing water volleyball and golf and Alesa has acquired a passion for bike riding. The big news is our new loveseat. The fake leather on both of our recliners has been peeling badly and we started looking for replacements before our trip to Arizona.
Hurricane Elsa skirted the gulf coast last night and this morning and gave us some rain and wind but nothing major. Been very busy since we got back from Arizona and are almost fully recovered from the trip.
