4th of July with Mango, Jul 4

I spent 4th of July home with Mango. I spent the 3rd there too... just not feeling the need to go to a hot, over crowded venue to watch fireworks. Ugh... the heat, people, traffic, noise, smoke... all the things I hate! I should add "now that I'm an old lady", because I think I used to like these things. Well, I'm sure I never liked traffic, but I remember past 4th of July's that I enjoyed... I think. 

Anyway, I turned down a date with Mark on Saturday night, then cancelled on him for Sunday night and that must have been the last straw. We are no longer dating and I'm quite relieved. He was a very nice guy and very generous with his money, but not the right guy for me. We wished each other good luck and now Mr. Mango is my only date in the foreseeable future. 

Mango on the 4th of July. The neighborhood poppers just starting to be heard in the background. Didn't phase him a bit. That's one cool cat 💗😎.

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)!
