Alesa and I spent a couple of hours at the American Legion inspecting flags to be placed at each grave at the Florida National Cemetery just south of here. Quite a few people volunteered and it will take a number of days to prepare the 40,000 flags which will be needed for Memorial Day.

Steve and Laura arrived last night on their way from Steve's mother's in Austin to meet their daughter (Gretchen) and her family at Disneyworld later today. We took them across the street to the neighbors for a happy hour then drove them by her nephew's new house.

Alesa's pineapples are growing up. Taking pictures so when some critter gets them we'll have a record. The Fales bought a house and will be closing at the end of July. The Carullos had us over for dinner on Sunday night since they are headed back north at the end of the month.

Eugene and Connie Fales came down from Atlanta last Friday to look at homes here in The Villages. Eugene is Laura's nephew, Betsey's son. They visited us with Betsey and Jennifer last year and liked it and thought they may want to retire here.

Watched the Atlas 5 OA-6 launch on the Tuesday night before Easter. It launched at 11:05 PM, the sky was clear and it was an awesome sight. Easter Sunday we had Paul and Carol, Ann and Ed and his sister Bunni over for an Easter dinner.

Craig, Roni and Denny came up on St. Patrick's day and we all played pickleball. Later that evening we received a call from Denny to tell us Alesa's cousin, Larry (Roni's brother) had passed away earlier that day.

Roni and Denny checked into a trailer at the Blueberry Hill campground in Bushnell (15 miles south) for the next month and stopped over today to attend the St. Patrick's Day celebration at Lake Sumter landing. Alesa's bagpipe instructor was leading a group and we stayed for their show.
