Been a Long Time

It has been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened since.
  We celebrated Mother's Day in two seperate celebrations. 






Soccer season came to an end, JJ's team ended up 3-3-1.  They should have had at least 5 wins.  Broke my new bike frame on the second ride.  More on that later as I introduce the replacement frame.  Thank you Performance Bike for standing behind your product!  The cousins were up from Texas and spent a night with us.  We had a nice July 4 celebration with friends and family here at the house.

 We went to mom and dads for the Cornfestival Parade which has become an annual thing.






 Yesterday we celebrated birthday with Dad (87) by going to Juicy Bones restaurant in Beaverton.




 All for now and I will try to add some photos later.  Next stop.  Vacation!

Independence Day

Another busy weekend and celebration of our country's independence.  I got a short ride in on Friday morning.  We then were preparing for a wedding.  Barb and Steve, a couple at our church were getting married and the ceremony/reception would be at Dawn and Reuben's house.  Reuben performed the ceremony and I was asked to do the photography.  This worked out great as I had purchased a used Sony DSLR camera on eBay and got to test it out.  It was a very nice ceremony and celebration with our church family and friends.   You may kiss the bride!   We then stuck around and all of us went to the fireworks at the Clio Park to cap off the evening.  We got home late and went right to bed.   I slept in a bit on Saturday morning and got up to watch the start of the Tour de France.  It was a good stage with a sprint finish and a bad crash that took Mark Cavendish out of the race.  I then ventured out on a 23 mile ride o...
