Tonight was the February Erie Club meeting and the annual Smith's Hit Dog night. It is the most attended meeting of the year and this year didn't disappoint as we had about 150 people in attendance.
Trip Log
January 30, 2020
Alesa had an eye exam on Tuesday for dry eyes and a new prescription. We got home at 5 after water volleyball and we had voicemails from our granite 'place' and our installer. Seems like they don't have enough of the green butterfly that Alesa wanted.
January 27, 2020
Finally got my shingles shot at the VA on Thursday. Kept going there for it but they hadn't got clearance from my oncologist due to my chemotherapy but they always promised to have it next time. This time I sat in the waiting room until they got it.
January 21, 2020
Weather is getting colder. Freeze warning for tonight. Many people are covering plants but we figure if they cannot survive the Florida weather without help, we don't want them. I planted peas a few days ago but they are still in the ground.
January 18, 2020
Still catching up from our trips but continue to golf and play water volleyball. Had dinner with Maloneys last Saturday and Craig and Janet came up on Sunday for a turkey dinner and to watch football. Alesa saw her doctor on Wednesday for a sore neck and arm and is having some tests done.
January 10, 2020
Horse race night at the Erie club meeting last night. Stopped to see Fred and Cathy Dudenhoefer Wednesday after Alesa's annual (final) knee appointment in Orlando. Dinner tonight with Paul & Carol Stone at a new Mexican restaurant. Paul wanted us to try their pickled cactus.
January 2, 2020
Left Erie early on the 29th and it started to rain as we passed by Pittsburg. Hard rain, slippery roads, heavy traffic and winding mountain roads did not make for a pleasant trip.
December 28, 2019
Left the hotel this morning and stopped at Sam's for gas and a little shopping. We drove by Whippy Dip and Alesa's grandmother's apartment where she lived when we met and were dating. We then went to visit my aunt Bernice.
December 27, 2019
Left Michael's yesterday morning and arrived in Erie around 3 PM as we decided to visit the scene of the crime. After checking into the hotel we had a good 'Erie' meal at Valerio's, visited my sister, Marilyn, and spent time with Bob and Cathy before coming back to the hotel.
December 25, 2019
Yesterday was a different Christmas Eve this year because it is the first year the entire family was not together in one place. We were all together on Thanksgiving instead but last night we were at Mike's and skyped with Jeff and family.
