25 & 27

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!

Just for fun

I'm looking through my pictures, trying to find a specific one, but I've run across these four pictures that I just want to post. No big reason other than it was a fun weekend. A while ago Stess came up to Ptown and we got to hang out with our "Brothers" Ryan and Kyle. Kyle didn't look at the camera, Ryan made a face, my camera didn't focus on Stess and I, and then the sky was just cool. So, for no real reason, enjoy!

Stuff and Nonsense

I know, it's been a while since I last posted anything. I've been trying to come up with something really great to write about, but nothing's coming to mind. So, instead of some wonderful pearls of wisdom, you get the mundane. Well, maybe not mundane, but my life as it pertains to: ...Living quarters. I'm pretty settled in to my place now. Last Sunday I got home from church and shortly after both roomates did. We had a chance to sit down for lunch together, not planned, it just happened. It was a fun, non-stressful time. We actually had a neighbor come by and give us a welcome gift! Later we went to the park and threw a ball for Brandi, our friendly dog, and played on the swings. All in all, a very relaxing time just hanging out. Later Jamie and I went to Target, with 2 stories! Jamie was really funny, being from a small town, Target with an escelator that you can put your cart down was quite an adventure. ...Church. I'm still trying to find a...
