Missing a post from yesterday however had my youngest still home from the weekend and she doesn't want me to do any computer or tv while she is here. Funny - all of a sudden she would rather sit and talk with me - who took my daughter. Really, it is fun to chat and I am so proud of her and R for riding in Bike to the Bay for MS. They did great...R did 75 miles per day and K did 50 miles per day. She wanted to cross the finish line with her dad so she sat at the last rest stop for over an hour just so they could finish together! She is so special. The other K was a little jealous, me too, for not riding with them. I just couldn't raise the money and K isn't allowed to ride like that due to Kirby(her unnamed baby)! Ha!
We had a good weekend - Put in Bay on Saturday night, dinner with kids and in-laws on Sunday.
Little Mac was a lot of fun yesterday, I had help with K still in town. K enjoyed the day of having her with just the two of us home because Mac just does her thing without lots of people around. It is different to be able to just watch and she comes to you when she needs something. She also plays in the yard and swings and stuff like that.
We will have family and friends over this coming weekend, a houseful! Always a good time but tiring just the same. It is supposed to be wonderful weather so can't wait for family, friends, food, fun, fireworks and maybe a fire! Yeah!
This week food is a struggle - just no energy, getting ready, and stuff! But we will eat....
Monday - Leftovers made into something I won't ask for again - Ok, but just not what I would want again - chicken, mexican rice, sour cream, salsa and cheese (I think that was it)
Tuesday - French toast, sausage
Wednesday - Salads
Thursday - Beef, potato and veggie
Friday - family in so will wait to see what is wanted; pizza sounds good
Have a safe and fun weekend! Happy Fourth of July!

Prepping...
We are in the prep week for Bike to the Bay for MS...we will ride this week however it will be more leisurely than all out push - R rode 25+ miles this weekend; I did not go as he said he was riding 50 - ummmm no! We had a good weekend - R home late Friday, like 930pm-ish from last weeks travels. Saturday, clean, yardwork, grocery, etc. and friends for dinner - tried out the new light with guests - I liked it. Sunday, R ride - me wait - he rode at 630am so it wasn't bad - breakfast, store to purchase special Father's Day meal goodies. J and K and the Mac came to dinner. Kabobs - hmmmm same as last year; we didn't realize at first. Mac went full into the pool with her mommy and I think she really liked it. It is a bit chilly in the water but it is so humid and hot the last couple of days so really refreshing. She was swinging, playing on the patio (need a better solution to the cement) and ate the same food we did - it was just a little mushier. Ha!
Menu for this week:
Monday - Father's Day leftovers
Tuesday - Salads
Wednesday - Brats
Thursday - Salads
Friday - Grill Pizza
Big day next Saturday for K and R - Bike to the Bay, 50 and 75 miles respectively. I am very proud of both of them already! I can't wait to see their faces upon return of their success! Wishing them all the luck!

New week...
We accomplished a lot this weekend - it seems as tho R got a lot done, I didn't feel like I helped much but....Light post in, garden planted, herbs planted, flower bed mulched in back, patio cleaned off again from all the tree stuff, yard cut, leaky valve fixed, laundry all done, 10 mi bike ride (R did 27 mis), feeders moved, vacuuming done, R packed (now gone), tables and power washer put away, I think that is all...
R is gone so dinners will be whatever I find, no big deal.
Not sure I will ride this week either, R took the truck that carries the bikes. We will see! Anyway, have a great week.

Weekend and menu
We had a great weekend shared with good friends and family - who happen to be the best hostess/es anyone could ask for...
Headed to the CBus area for the weekend to ride in an organized family bike ride in Waldo, The Hot Tamale Ride. Most of us were scheduled to ride 32 miles - one went for the 16 mile ride. All finished their course but me - hmmmm. I am happy I was able to make it as far as I did but disappointed; cause when you set your mind to finish you want to finish - right? Come to find out the ride was actually about 37 miles and I finished 31.5-32 miles, so ok, rode what I thought I set out to do - but still you want to cross the finish line. The ride was not "flat" as they stated and stops along the course, pretty much nonexistant. One stop for food and bathroom break, needed water stops - an improvement I will certainly suggest and thoroughly encourage.
Anyway, received a splotchy sunburn even after putting on sunscreen - yes the new med I was on states to stay out of prolonged sun exposure - guess I didn't read that too well. Most of us did get sun while riding but it wasn't really anything due to sunscreen we did put on before the ride.
Our hostesses put on a lunch when we returned that was wonderful; and then we sat around and played cards, chatted, relaxed and enjoyed the remainder of the day. Dinner was fabulous as always and we had so much fun!
Monday - Pork or chicken, roasted potatoes, veggie or salad
Tuesday - opposite of Monday, red pepper/onion sauteed with seasoning, rice
Wednesday - Breakfast for dinner
Thursday - out of town R on his own (funny if you know R - I will actually be on my own)
Friday - Homemade Grill Pizza
Might be back in CBus Thursday - it will be a last minute thing I am sure. Patootie on Wed - Thurs night if we go out of town. Would really like to get lamppost in on Saturday - guess we'll see! Have a great week!
