Year 5, Day 111, “Living the Dream”. Tuesday, 8/19/2025 – The Wellington – Marley and I had a lunch Birthday date to celebrate her 22nd birthday. In the evening, I sat on the deck reflecting on the day and writing. Then I realized – OMG – Marley and I forgot to take pictures. Well, just so you know she looked beautiful. 22 suits her.

It is the official back to work day marked by a Lowes trip. Getting stuff to finish the foyer and stairs. We were asked by a few employees – “Hey, where you guys been?”





The 56,500-square-foot Home2Suites Hotel next to Lowes is still being worked on. The previous Best Western at this site was destroyed in a fire March 29, 2023. The construction of this hotel started April 12, 2024. Look at the number of workers just in that picture. Most of the time, we have a crew of one. We should have the Wellington completed before our next getaway.

Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
