Trip Log

October 28, 2019

Met with our insurance advisor on Tuesday and switched our Part D to move from $58 to $13 a month. Also attended the men's water volleyball tournament that day: not on a team so we just watched. Gene Fales is back in town for a few weeks so they stopped over on Thursday.

October 21, 2019

October is Muhly grass month here in The Villages. A little late this year but most of it has turned pink. Backing off water volleyball to once a day mostly due to appointments (medical, financial and medical insurance) but also because we get too tired and sore after four hours.

October 15, 2019

After wishing our oldest the happiest of birthdays we drove down to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa to sit with Janet while Craig had a knee replaced. We saw him for a few minutes before he went up, kept Janet company during the surgery and left as he was coming out of recovery.

October 12, 2019

Alesa was invited to dinner with Tracy and Jackie at Disney and I was invited along as her chauffeur. We drove down today to Disney Springs and had dinner at Morimoto Asia.

October 11, 2019

Many of the snow birds are back from Erie so October was the first meeting of the season last night (Always the second Thursday of the month). This is usually the 'Ox Roast' meeting but we had a 'Poker Run' instead.

September 30, 2019

The Erie Club is starting back up with meetings in October and the board met to plan the upcoming season. October is a Poker Run with Pizza but we like to have one meeting with 'professional' entertainment.

September 15, 2019

Can always tell when September is here because the lovebugs show up. Not too bad this year but still a nuisance and will be gone in October. Golfing and water volleyball continue to take up our time but doctor appointments are running a close third. So far only great news.

September 4, 2019

It has been an interesting few days as Dorian came towards us. Everybody was busy getting ready for the worst and many things closed to include all of The Villages facilities.

August 31, 2019

Left Jeff's around 10 PM on the 27th to catch a 12:50 flight to Dallas-Fort Worth. Jeff drove us and we went a little early so he could get home and rest before he had to catch a 7:30 flight the next morning. Turns out we had TSA PrePass on our tickets so security was a breeze.

August 27, 2019

South Mountain is south of Phoenix (duh) and offers a spectacular view of the entire valley. We had a lazy early morning and then drove to South Mountain. As we drove in South Phoenix along the base it really didn't look like much but we continued on.
