SHE'S WALKING!! 9-11-2010

LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2010

The weather this weekend couldn't have been any better. All I wanted to do was be outside. Eden, Baker, Beau and Nicky were having the annual dove hunt at the farm, Leslie had a class reunion in Aberdeen, John had his dove hunt in the Delta and Abby had Skyler to keep her occupied. I hung out with Caroline and spent a good bit of time enjoying my new favorite past-time, bike riding.

When I was in Washington I injured my foot walking too much without enough cushion and probably caused a stress fracture. As a result I can't go on my daily walks, but I can ride a bike. I got Caroline a baby seat installed on the back of my bike and spent a little time on Saturday getting used to it. She seemed to like it, but fell asleep after the first ten minutes.

Caroline spent Saturday night and most of Sunday with her Bevvy, so Abby, Skyler and I went to early church, then I laid by the pool and read Eat, Pray, Love. In the evening I took the bikes to campus and Leslie, Caroline and I rode about ten miles around town. Then Monday we drove out to Sardis and walked the nature trail, then drove to John Kyle and rode bikes around the park.

Needless to say, I got nothing done in my garden, but thanks to the yard mowing fairy, Bruce, my grass has been neatly mowed every week since March. Some of the best money I ever spent.
