I woke up a little before three and went across the street to a parking lot and away from the motel lights. The clouds had cleared but the moon was very bright which made all but the brightest stars hard to see.
Trip Log
August 12, 2025
When we got to our room we were totally impressed by its size, functionality and views. Sliding glass doors at the back of the room afforded a view of the mountains to the south east and access to a private patio which led to an elevate public area. We napped a bit before heading to dinner.

On Tuesday we attended a Trilogy coffee chat with JJ Spahn’s parents who live in Trilogy. They talked about his growing up and his (their) trip into the world of Professional golf. They were very interesting and down-to-earth.
August 10, 2025
Even with the record heat we have been keeping busy and active by walking, biking and going to the gym. Alesa has decided we need more shade in the back yard so we have been visiting nurseries and walking around them to get some ideas.

Alesa and I golfed with Jeff and Bailey today at our home course, Power Ranch at Trilogy. It was another great day of golfing and we were so happy that Bailey could join us. It was very hot (107) but we all stayed hydrated and drank a lot of water which is provided by the course.

During our recent road trip Alesa gathered rocks; some from the peninsula in Erie, some from Maine (GLS & Jasper Beach) and even one from Ministers Island in Canada. She had a plan to build a cairn or add to the waterfall by our pool.

Last time I golfed was November 2023 just before we moved from The Villages. Moving in kept us very busy for a while. Alesa did golf once since we moved but not since because of her shoulder and surgery and I have not because of my leg and surgery.
July 5, 2025
God bless America or more appropriate at this time God help America. Still taking time to recover from our road trip. As exciting as it was it was still very tiring so we are resting easy. Took the car in for its first checkup and oil change. It was due at 7,500 miles but we had 8,500 on it.
June 28, 2025
Left Craig & Janet's early on the 25th, had breakfast at the Wawa and watched a red hot-air balloon drift by before heading out on the 4 day return trip home, three 580-mile days followed by the final 400-mile trip.
June 24, 2025
Sunday we stopped for coffee at WaWa and drove to Lorton, VA and had a bite to eat across from the station before driving in at about noon, handing off the car to be loaded and sitting in the station waiting to get on the train. We boarded at two thirty and the train departed at four.
