Our 'little farmer' (Niebauer means little farmer in German) has been busy tending the gardens and her compost pile. The local Ford dealer picked up the car this morning to do the recalls and they called this afternoon to say they would have it back in the morning.
Trip Log
April 8, 2020
Today was somewhat of a quiet day. It was a hot day and we didn't feel like doing much outside. After breakfast I made butter noodles (big, fat ones) and then potato soup and that's what I had for dinner. It was yum, just like I used to make.
April 7, 2020
Who knew we could save the world by sitting on out butts all day and watching TV, now let's not screw it up. Alesa is doing her part by binge watching Britbox, specifically 'Death in Paradise'. This morning we went to Sam's and found all the items on our shopping list including toilet paper.
April 5, 2020
We are now into April and isolation is a way of life. We are doing well catching up and keeping busy. All activities are closed but golf. We golfed this morning despite the continuous sprinkle, barely enough to get you wet. We are hoping for some stronger rain this afternoon, we need it.
March 30, 2020
Alesa and I continue to play platform tennis and hike. There is no one else on the courts but we use our own equipment and wash our hands when we get home. I am disappointed with the people who continue to play pickleball. Usually 3 or 4 courts and about 20 people.
March 27, 2020
Had my semi-annual oncology appointment with the VA on Wednesday. It was held as a phone call and all is well. Had a phone call with our finance guy, got our tax refund and watched a launch on Thursday.
March 23, 2020
Been eating peas out of the garden for a few days now, the tomato plants are doing well and Alesa transplanted a few 'volunteer' pepper plants from the compost pile. A lot of peaches on the tree and we have a few lemons that look like they are going to make it.
March 22, 2020
Semi annual blood test at the VA on Wednesday. Next Wednesday they will be doing my oncology appointment over the phone. Got the Explorer tires installed on Thursday. They told me I was lucky because they were told to shut down the operation and I was the last customer.
March 17, 2020
The Villages has shut down everything but the pools and the golf courses. They shut down water volleyball yesterday. Looks like the taxes will get done early this year.
March 14, 2020
Alesa and I were going to skip the tournament this year but at the last minute they needed to fill a foursome so I obliged but skipped the dinner.
