Trip Log

October 2, 2017

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.

September 12, 2017

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.

September 11, 2017

We came through Irma unscathed with only a papaya tree down and a few missing branches and a lot of missing leaves. There is a lot of high water and the storm sewers are full up to the grates. Flooding is limited to the golf courses and open areas.

August 21, 2017

In addition to watching the coverage on TV we did do a little first-hand viewing. We used a pin-hole camera to track the progress and tried to get some pictures but it was just too bright.

August 19, 2017

Today we drove down to Craig and Janet's to celebrate Craig's birthday. It was a fun party and Zach and family and Tracy and Pat were there.

August 17, 2017

Tuesday we finally painted the master bedroom. Alesa has been planning it forever and bought the paint a couple of weeks ago. So, we got it done and played a little golf afterwards.

August 14, 2017

As always we continue to stay very busy with all our normal activities in spite of the heat and the rain. Went to see Johnny Wild and the Delights in the square last night but too hot to stay for long. Getting up to date with doctor and dentist appointments and all is well.

July 21, 2017

Been busy since our return from the North. Golf, tennis, landscaping and doctor & dentist appointments. All is good. Alesa did tweak her elbow a few days ago and took a rest from tennis but is still golfing.

July 10, 2017

Left Jeff's at about 8 on Sunday morning and arrived in Lumberton, NC at about 4 and shopped at the outlets on the way. The weather was great and so was the traffic, even through DC. Left around 7:30 this morning and arrived home before 3. Another day of great weather and traffic.
