My Christmas Tree, Dec 10

 Took three days to get all my decorations up... and I love them all!! I even ran an extension cord from the back yard so I could have lights on my front porch. The house looks beautifully festive.

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!!!

Cycling, Jul 22-24

Rather than make three posts, I'm combining three bike outings in one post. Friday was a regular favorite, the Tour de Willa with Frank and Carlos, then Saturday was biking around Lake Monroe with El, and Sunday was a new ride with the FFW, Orlando Murals. All were great for different reasons and really, any day on the bike with friends is great.  I probably won't post every ride I do. Every weekend I try to get out there. My goal for 2022 is to ride 2000 miles. I think I'm almost to 900 and we are more than halfway through the year, so I need to pick it up a bit! I've started doing some rides with Nona Cycle too, so that gives me more options. Once the temps cool down I'll be able to go longer. Right now we are reaching 95+ degrees everyday with no relief in sight. Frank's Tour de Willa group. It can be anywhere from three to ten people, never a big group, but that's ok. It's a set 25 mile route... no changes, no surprises. I forgot to get a picture of ...

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?...
