Quarantine, Jun 14

Well, I finally pushed my luck a little too far... I got Covid 😭. This has to be the worst timing ever... I was getting the Covid test as a requirement for my upcoming trip to Portugal. Obviously, I did not go to Portugal. I was able to get e-credit for the airfare with Delta, but I think the rest of the expense is gone, none of that was refundable, especially less than 24 hours before going.

I'm still making a post for my time in quarantine because it wasn't so horrible. I like my house and I had Mango to keep me company. It was kind of nice to have nothing expected of me but to stay put. For five days I didn't even move the car out of the garage. On the sixth day I did venture to the grocery store with a mask on, and the seventh day I went to CVS for another Covid test, which came back negative. Just ridiculously bad timing that this was the week I was supposed to be cycling through Portugal with friends from my bike club.

Mango saying, hey, why am I locking indoors too? I think it is so cute how he likes watching the front porch. I don't think he actually wants to go out, he just likes looking at stuff out there. It's really cute to see this from the outside, his funny face filling up the window and his eyes big... he is just too cute!
I'm very happy to have adopted him 😻 

Puzzle time!!!
This was 1000 pieces and I finished it in less than two days. I guess my super power is puzzle-putter-together. I'd rather be able to fly or make myself invisible, but no, I can put together a 1000 piece puzzle in 10 hours.

I had to include this... Mark sent me flowers. Very sweet and definitely cheered me up.

Bar Harbor/Acadia NP, Woman Tours, Jun 15-19

Image
  What an awesome trip this was!!! The scenery and cycling was amazing. I can't wait to return. Here's a picture dump.  This is the trailer from the tour company. There were two guides, Melanie and Ruth. They did a fantastic job keeping our bikes ready to go and keeping the group of us happy. I will definitely be taking another one of their tours, I just need to decide which one. The harbor view from our hotel. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. The rooms were great, the lobby, restaurant, and breakfast spots were fantastic, and location was amazing. Except for one day when we took a ferry to our ride start, all the rides left right from the hotel and within a mile or two you were in the national park. There were from day one. We were all getting acquainted with out bikes. Some people brought theirs from home, but I think most were rentals. I rented an e-bike and boy was I in heaven!! I highly recommend it if you are going to b in hills and you are on vacatio...

Happy Thanksgiving, Nov 24

 We had a nice day with family at the Beach House on Treasure Island. Same crowd. Jennifer even joined us from KY and Aunt Sandi from NY. Very nice day and week! Dad getting ready to crave the turkey. Dad, Debbie, and Sandi "collaborating". The kitchen was a little hectic to say the least! Donna and I on the beach at sunset. Jen and I checking out the sandcastles before hitting the road back to Orlando the day after Thanksgiving. These are professional sand castle makers, btw!!!

FFW Horrible Hundred, Nov 20

Image
 It was a truly horrible day for the FFW Horrible Hundred (cold and rainy). Thankfully, I was at the SAG stop putting pickles in little paper cups rather than riding my bike!! It was a fun weekend none-the-less. My fellow volunteers were nice and the riders coming through were terrific and very appreciative of our offerings. One of these years I'll have to ride the hills, but maybe not 100 miles! Riders enjoying their pickle juice (and other snacks)!
