Finally had my back surgery on the 24th and all went well. It was a 6 hour surgery which was to be a laminectomy and fusion of L2 & L3 which went very well. He saw a lot of scar tissue on the previous L4 & L5, so he cleaned that out and redid that fusion as well.

Our son Michael is doing very well, all reconnected and moved into his new home. His girls will be coming out for Thanksgiving and he has decided to stay home and continue settling in and let us enjoy the girls.

Wow, haven’t posted in a long time but have plenty of excuses. Found that our irrigation was leaking up through the middle of the driveway. Worrying it would undermine the driveway we needed a quick solution.
August 22, 2024
Jeff's birthday was the 1st and Danielle's birthday was the 20th and they came over on both days so we could celebrate with them. Of course, both days included a cake, singing and a candle.
July 31, 2024
Craig and Janet picked us up at the Tamp airport on Friday and we are staying with them. Saturday, we all went up to The Villages to attend Mike's (our across-the-street neighbor) surprise 85th birthday party.
July 27, 2024
Flew out of Phoenix at 7 AM on the 23rd on a flight to Philly. Rented a car and drove to Phoenixville to see Mike. Felt bad that we couldn't be with him while he was going through his surgery but are very glad to be with him now. He is doing very well but still requires rest.
July 16, 2024
Our son Mike finally made it home yesterday after over two weeks in the hospital. He has had a tough time of it, in addition to his surgery he has blood clots which they are removing with antibiotics plus a water heater in his rental leaked and flooded his basement.

We bought this house with a double bowl cast iron sink under a large granite counter. Alesa did not like it and wanted a single bowl composite sink. Neighbors in the Villages wanted to replace a sink under a granite countertop and were told it could not be done.
July 6, 2024
Jeff and family came over for the 4th for a picnic and pool party. All except Bailey who flew to Wisconsin to visit a friend over the holiday. We had a great day and I went to Jeff's in the PM to watch the Gilbert fireworks from his backyard.
July 1, 2024
Last Sunday we took a road trip to see Mt Lemmon, a ski resort on top of a mountain just north of Tucson. Bailey's friends had mentioned it to him, so he went with us. We drove through the desert on back roads to the southeast of town.
