Had my semi-annual cardiologist appointment last week and everything looks great. Alesa had a dentist appointment this week and her tongue worry was diagnosed as 'burning tongue syndrome', uncomfortable, but of no danger. Craig and Janet were up for Memorial Day and played pickleball.
Trip Log
Had my doctors appointment yesterday and all looks very good and he released me for all normal activity. Didn't tell him I have been golfing, pickleballing and playing platform tennis, carefully, for the last 3 weeks.
We have been busy and I am continuing my recovery. All is well and my doctor's appointment is next Wednesday and we are hoping he releases me to resume normal activity. The Dawsons are back in Erie and we have golfed a couple of times with Bunnie who will be heading north in a week or two.
This week is the annual Senior Games here in The Villages. Alesa competed in mixed doubles platform tennis yesterday and won a gold medal for her age group. Gene and Connie Fales took us to dinner at the Oakwood Smokehouse on Wednesday as a thank you the help we have given them.
Seven weeks since my back surgery and things continue to be great. Playing platform tennis, pickleball, swimming and golfing all at a greatly reduced level. Probably doing more than I should before my 12 week recovery is up but am being very careful.
After Alesa did her platform tennis mentoring we spent the morning landscaping. We put up a large cage and transplanted spaghetti squash plants under it. We installed our Pig weathervane and an irrigation bubbler by a large firecracker bush we just transplanted.
Happy Dyngus Day everybody. A Polish holiday celebrated on the Monday after Easter to insure a good harvest. Buffalo and Cleveland are known for their Dyngus Day celebrations.
Thursday was the last Erie Club meeting of the season. It was bunco night with the club supplying subs, chips and cupcakes. This year I had it easy because of my back surgery. I only had to order the subs and someone else picked them up.
We bought an air fryer a few days ago and have been busy testing it out using the original recipes. Some are good and the others aren't too bad but we will have to adjust the recipes to make them better.
Dinner tonight at the Lighthouse Point Cafe in Lake Sumter Landing. We went with Lois and Mike and Janie Monaghan. Lois is heading out next week to Owego for the summer and Mike and Janie have a number travel excursions planned for the next few weeks.
