Trip Log

August 3, 2023

Alesa has tested negative twice over the last 48 hours so we are both covid free and will continue normal activities to include a Sunday tee time. We have kept busy in the meantime.

July 31, 2023

End of July and the end of an era. Our baby, Jeff, turns 50 tomorrow and our whole next generation is now eligible for AARP. A good thing that age is only in the mind and, apparently, in the bones as well.

July 25, 2023

We flew home with Bridget last Wednesday with a connection in Dallas Love Field. The flights were uneventful but our shuttle was 45 minutes late due to a Florida Turnpike closure so we didn't get home until just after midnight. Thurday was a rest and food shopping day.

July 18, 2023

Busy packing today because we fly back home tomorrow. Bridget is flying back to spend a few days with us. Today is the 19th day in a row with a temperature of 110 degrees or more. Setting a record for the number of consecutives days above 110. The forecast is calling for 10 more days.

July 16, 2023

Keeping busy in spite of the heat. Saturday, we went to Old Town Scottsdale so Alesa could shop and we also stopped at The Sugar Bowl, our favorite stop for ice cream.

July 10, 2023

On Saturday morning Jeff, Danielle, Alesa and I headed to Lake Havasu City for the weekend with Bridget staying home to watch the dogs. We had rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Bullhead City for Saturday night but wanted to visit Lake Havasu City on the way.

Happy 4th of July. Plenty to eat today and lots of activity. Took a ride to the San Tan Valley area to see the homes and check out the growth and new building in that area. There were many beautiful desert and modern style homes on the side of the mountains with great views of the valley.

July 3, 2023

Hot in Arizona. They have been closing the hiking trails from 11 to 5 due to heat warnings but we continue to be active as long as we hydrate and cool off in the pool. I do a 5+ mile bike ride every day while Alesa rides farther and does her walks.

June 29, 2023

Been busy with all the normal stuff since we've been here. Have been building my legs up as they are still a little weak. Back is doing well but I have acquired a bit of stiffness and soreness on my right side lower back and hip area.

June 19, 2023

Invited to a cookout at the new neighbor's house on the 3rd. JJ and Carol Watt moved In a few months ago but we just got to know them. They live two houses down and we had a good time. Had dinner at the Texas Roadhouse with Paul and Carol on the 10th.
