I have some pictures but not my camera, so I'll post pictures of my weekend tonight, but I thought I'd post something since it's been a while...
This weekend I went to Albany for several reasons. On Saturday Mom, Dad, Stess, Nicole and I all rode our bikes in the Strawberry Festival Centenial Ride. No, we didn't ride 100 miles, but we did half that. Okay, some of us did half that. Since we had a beautiful little girl and a cute dog who couldn't join us on the ride Nicole and I switched off. She started with Mom, Dad and Stess and they rode the first 25 miles, from Lebanon High School to the other end of Foster Resivore in Sweet Home. I followed with the baby and the dog.
Mom and Dad have two tandem bikes, one is an upright and the other is a recumbant. I prefer the recumbant by far! They all did great on the way to Foster. I met them at one stop and was very glad to have mom nearby as the little one had a blow out and didn't want to drink the formula I'd made. Good timing I must say. Then it was off to the half way point. Once there I switched with Nicole and Dad and I rode the recumbant. That's a fun bike! It's amazing how much easier it is to ride with someone than on your own bike! We made it all the way back to Lebanon High School where they had strawberry short cake waiting for us. All told, they did just over 50 miles and Nicole and I did 25.
After the ride we went home for showers and rest. Since Sunday was Father's Day, and my birthday, and since no one wanted to cook dinner, we joined my Aunt and Uncle for dinner and then saw the new "Indiana Jones" movie. I'm not going to give anything away for those of you who haven't seen it, but I'll tell you that I liked it. Now, I'd heard mixed reviews so I didn't have high hopes for the movie, but hey, it's Indiana Jones on the big screen. That was worth it for me.
Sunday was my 27th birthday and Father's Day! Church was great, lots of friends and a good sermon. Mom and Dad joined us at Faith. It was good to see friends. Dani Warren's birthday was yesterday too, so I got to bless her as well as be blessed. Thanks for all your birthday wishes!
Stess and I had lunch with Mom and Dad, got to take a nap, cleaned Stess' kitchen, Dad mowed the lawn and got to watch golf, and I got free coffee at Dutch Bros. Stess gave me a Sisters book and a cool plate and Mom and Dad fixed up my bike so I have nice road tires. Now I won't kill myself so easily when I try to ride to wrok.
So, it was a good weekend! I'm glad Stacy's back in Portland. Hannah and I are going out for Margarita's tonight and it's sunny!
