Busy Weekend

Sorry to say, I still haven’t had a chance to link up my photos from the cruise, because I had such a full weekend. However, I think I’ll be able to get that done tonight.

On Saturday, Gary and I ventured out for our first group cycling ride. It began at a Plano bike shop @ 7:45am. Yes, I was up riding at 7:45am. How about that? It was 15 miles too. Not bad. That’s the farthest we have gone yet. It was a little chilly for me starting off (about 60 degrees), but it warmed up fairly quickly. It wasn’t as difficult as I expected it to be, but we were doing a rather slow pace. There were 7 folks in the group, however one guy had some mechanical problems and had to call for a rescue.

After a nap to recuperate we had lunch and then went and did one of my favorite pastimes – looking at model homes. I always have fun dreaming. :-)

Saturday night we went to the Ranger’s game. Unfortunately, we lost 0-8 to the Toronto Blue Jays. I enjoy going to games, but my main reason for going to this particular game was because they were having fireworks afterwards. So, although the game was a bit disappointing, the fireworks were very cool.

Sunday we went cycling on our own and did 9 miles around my neighborhood. We’re getting a little more comfortable with being out on the road. I think I like the roads better because the trails are so busy, it ends up being a lot of maneuvering around people.

I guess we weren’t worn out enough from the bike ride, so we washed our cars Sunday afternoon. My Jeep *is* actually blue. Amazing. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it. I won’t mention Gary’s. :-)

Of course, since we did that yesterday, it appears it’s going to rain at any moment today. Oh well. It was soooo dirty, it just had to be done.

Last night we were ready for a relaxing evening, so Gary grilled for us. (He’s great). Then we watched a couple movies (“Garden State” and “Without a Paddle”).

So overall a fun packed weekend. :-)
