Donna's 56th Bday family dinner, Oct 16

We had a terrific Sunday night family dinner at Mom's to celebrate Donna's birthday. It's always a good time. I'm really happy to live close enough to go over for dinner. Of course, I stayed over... it's not really closed enough to drive there and back in the same day (though I have done it, it just sucks).

I found a silly game for us to play after dinner - Who (what) am I? Everyone picks a card and without looking at it, puts it in the slot of their "witch's" hat. Everyone then takes turns asking the group questions and trying to guess who they are. I love that my family is always willing to be silly with me and play games!

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!!!

Quarantine, Jun 14

Image
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?...

First Club Ride Post Surgery, Mar 22

Image
Nine weeks later and I'm able to rejoin the club rides!! This first one was a D pace and only 15 miles. My next club ride will still be D pace (I may be there for a while) but it's going to be 25 miles! Feels good to be back out here. Getting on and of the bike is difficult and extending my leg for stopping is a bit painful, but I'm sure that will fade away in time. With my friends El on the left and Karen M on the right. Now to work on dropping some weight so I don't look so squished into my jersey 😢
