End of May

Didn't get a chance to leave news last weekend. Went to the cities to watch Lori's niece finish a 12 mile marathon. Stopped at a local eatery & had lunch. Good time.

This weekend went on a cycle ride. Left here at 2:00pm & got back at 6:00pm. Good ride! Lots of curvey roads & then road along the Mississippi river. All the bluffs & river was great but sore butt by the time we got home. Not used to a 4 hour ride yet! Went with 3 other people so really enjoyed it. Now it's catch up on yard work I didn't do yeasterday!! Worth it.

Tyler graduated! Congrats to him & his future. Shane also moved on with his Army career. Wish him the greatest. Our prayers & thoughts are with him & the whole family. It's a good move & job security for all.

At this point, not much else here. Just another day in somebody's paradise!

All take care. Will post more next week.

Busy Weekend

Went & helped my brother-in-law, Jerry, in the cities put down a hard wood floor in his house saturday. Even though I'm hurting today it was fun & I owed him a favor any way as he came down & helped me with my shed. We scratched our heads alot at first but once we got going it was quick.
My brother, Dave, owns a Harley & was out for a ride last friday (5-08-09). A lady was talking on her cell phone & decided to change lanes without looking. She hit him, put on her brake then decided to leave. He has a broken femer, collar bone, several ribs, puntured lung & lacerated liver. Not life threatning but painful. We all wish him well. He should be home by monday to recover.
I have to cut the grass today so gotta get at it. Everybody take care.

MAY !!

Already May. Can't believe how time is going by.
Got a ride in today (saturday). A little windy & abit cold but made it a short one. The club bike blessing is tommorrow so hope the wind dies down as it would be nice out except for the wind. They have a Pastor bless you & your bike & then a "Shawmen" comes with an Indian blessing along with the smoke stick. Need all the help I can get!! We go for a ride after. Suppose to be nice. And yes Jody, you get a ride!!!!
Trees are doing good so far that I planted. Wait & see if they make it. Mowed the lawn for the first time today. It was a "John Deere" day!!!!!!
About it for now. Going to Mpls to help my brother-in-law tear up carpet & lay wood floor next weekend. He came down & helped with the shed so I owe him. I'd do it anyway.
Everybody take care.
