Every so often a picture like this pops up in my Facebook feed. This is Andy crossing the Day One finish line at this year’s BikeMS. I love seeing these!
She gets up…
…and goes right back to sleep…
Great Pumpkin Ale
I am sad that Flat Branch chose not to release the Great Pumpkin Ale on Halloween like usual, but I am happy to drink it early!
Fall Season Complete!
It was the last baseball game of the fall season tonight. We got to watch John pitch a great fourth inning and hit the game-winning RBI! It was a great way to close out the season. Way to go John!
Now, we have a decision to make. John’s coach asked us if we were interested in John playing on a competitive team in the Spring. Coach Sands said he was going to get together costs and more information for us. We talked about it on the way home a bit and John initially said he was not interested. We told him that the time has come. He really is a truly coachable, good ballplayer, and, if he wants to keep playing, he has to take the next step. Decisions, decisions…
Table
Dad and Marilyn stopped by on their way home from Texas to bring us a table that belonged to my grandparents. My stepsister, Tracy, had it in her home. Tracy is returning to travel nursing and no longer has the space for it. Dad and Marilyn downsized to a condo a few years ago and also do not have the space for it. Since Andy and I have this new house and plenty of space, it now has a new home behind our living room sofa. Love it!
Just Wednesday
While I was with the fun women on the CycleX Women’s Ride,…
…Andy and Laura were at Cosmo Park watching John pitch.
COMO Cyclocross
We went to Cyclocross tonight, so that Andy could run the two simulated races and Laura could try out the course in between the two adult races. I might be biased, but I think Andy looks pretty good on his bike. He did have a little bit of shifting problems, but he worked on the bike a bit in between and the second ride was better than the first.
As for Laura, she did great! She did one lap around the course and only crashed once (no worries as there were no injuries). She was very proud of herself and she should have been!
Cyclocross is always a fun time and maybe I will give it a try sometime soon. I do have that new, pretty Diverge now…
