After the girls got home from swimming practice Alesa broke out her new art set and they all drew/painted pictures. After dinner they played 'Exploding Kitty' which was great fun.
Trip Log
December 22, 2017
Today we went to lunch at Ryans pub in Manayunk with Mike and Lisa. Mike works in Manayunk and Lisa had off so we all met for lunch. We then headed over to Mike's to spend the night.
December 21, 2017
Left around 8 AM Monday morning, spent the night in Lumberton, NC and arrived at Jeff's before 3 on Tuesday afternoon. Had great weather with no traffic problems, heavy but moving. Have been spending our time here shopping for Christmas meals, playing games and updating my phone.
December 17, 2017
Headed up to Lake Sumter Landing town center tonight to see the Blues Brothers show. It was a good show and we connected with some friends, watched the space station fly over and left early because we are driving out early tomorrow morning for Pennsylvania for Christmas.
December 15, 2017
For a few days, the Villages Model Train Club is displaying multiple layouts at the Colony Cottage Recreation Center. While Alesa was working on Christmas cookies and has absolutely no interest in model trains, I took the golf cart up and toured their displays.
December 15, 2017
Today is Alesa's birthday and she was greeted this morning by Olaf, the 'Frozen' snowman, on the counter sitting on her present. She has been talking about trying watercolors and has tried to sign up for courses, but, alas, there are none at the present time.
December 14, 2017
Tonight was the Erie Club Christmas Party. We usually take December off from meetings since many people head back home for Christmas or are busy with other parties. The club is growing and a quick poll during last month's meeting showed a number of people interested.
December 13, 2017
The frost has been on the pumpkin (or papaya) but the sun comes out and warms things up a bit, usually into the 60s or 70s. Jeff flew into Orlando on Monday and arrived here around 2. We had a 3:44 tee time at Bacall and were joined by a local (Jim) to round out the foursome.
December 9, 2017
Snowing in Philadelphia, Jeff said they have 3 inches. Been busy and the weather is getting cooler here. Jeans and a long sleeve shirt today. Even freeze warnings tonight. Read that green papaya is better for you than ripe papaya so I have been picking and trying them different ways.
November 26, 2017
The alternate activity in case of rain on Black Friday was to go to the movies. But the sun came out and dried up all the rain and Alesa missed out. So, I took her to see 'Murder on the Orient Express' yesterday morning. It was well done. Met Mike and family last night in Mt.
