It has started to cool down a bit and we're loving it, but rest assured there will be plenty of hot days in the future. Most of the golf course are reopen after Irma but the influx of snowbirds makes it tougher to get tee times and the traffic is continuing to build.
Trip Log
Our neighbor, Lois, turns 80 on Monday so we had a little birthday get-together. We grilled some steaks and Lois and Mike and Janie Monaghan, from across the street, joined us for dinner followed by cake and ice cream.
Left Pa Tuesday morning the 10th, spent the night in Lumberton and arrived home on Wednesday around 4 in the afternoon. A couple of follow up doctor appointments for Alesa and all is better than well. She is back in platform tennis and we are back to golf.
Yesterday morning we played early tennis with Jeff and Danielle then headed over to Mike's for a couple of days. Mike and I watched the Penn State game while the girls shopped, got Elyse's dress ready for the homecoming dance and played Chinese checkers.
Today we met the Schweds and Goodmans at Longwood Gardens for a visit and a long walk. Schweds are members and Goodmans used to be so we got and all inclusive tour hitting all the high spots to include the daytime fountain show.
When we met with Tim yesterday he mentioned he was leasing a house on the 600 acre Stroud Preserve just outside of Marshallton, which is very close to Jeff's. So today we headed there and had a great 3+ mile hike on well kept trails and even saw a few deer.
Everybody went to work and school so we relaxed and shopped. Alesa and the family played Chinese checkers that night. On Tuesday we took the train into Philly to tour and see our Finance guy. And this afternoon we went golfing with Bailey.
We left Florida on Wednesday morning. We were going to leave on Monday but Alesa lost a filling on Saturday and got a crown on Tuesday afternoon. We spent Wednesday night in Lumberton, NC and arrived at Jeff's just before 4 on Thursday and finally met "Tim", their new miniature Dachshund.
Jeff was in Tampa this week on business and Thursday morning, after dropping associates off at the airport, he came here to spend some time. We had a great visit and appreciated his time. He flew out Friday on a 5 PM flight.
Walked around but didn't drive yesterday to let the crews clean up. Today we drove around in the golf cart and there is water and downed palm fronds everywhere.
