Me telling Michael “you are right”.
It rarely happens & figured we’d better get a picture of THAT!
He thought it would only take an hour to our first
rest stop (15 miles) but I thought it would take longer.
Cimg9841
Mary taking a break after a hill.
I tried to convince her to lay in the grass –
but shouldn’t wasn’t going for it….
Cimg9842
Greg & Michael – leaders of the Pack
Cimg9843
The views are stunning but this picture does NOT
do the landscape justice.
{Plus I was pedaling while taking this photo.}
Cimg9845
self photo at 33 miles – 9 more to go.
I forgot to get a group photo – darn.

(6/26/10)  We rode 42 quite hilly miles.

All good – we lived to tell the story…..
that’s 499 miles year to date.
Jeez had I only known earlier … I would have pushed

for 1 more mile to make an even 500!

Tree Swallows in front box 2 weeks old –
they should stick around for a few more days
Cimg9856
momma Tree Swallow Dive Bombing me!
LOOK OUT!!!!! these are tricky photos to take!
Cimg9857
the baby tree swallows out back are 12 days old.
the one on the left is TINY but seems healthy –
no doubts he’ll be the last to fledge.

loved this funny photo my friend posted on her blog
“insanity is my valium” –
if you have a PETS (that beg) you also may get
a kick out of her begging pets narrative.

Howardengel

I read quite an interesting article in the New Yorker Magazine

about Howard Engel. He was an author who had a stroke

and subsequently could not read but only could WRITE.

How strange would THAT be?

This 3 minute NPR video is not nearly as great as

the article but it’s a start. Feel free to do more

research on this topic. It’s quite interesting.

 

Love20burger
This is the LOVE BURGER.

A new outdoor restaurant opened on the grounds of

the Franklin Institute (Philadelphia’s Science Museum).

Frog Burger offers this delectable sandwich: the LOVE Burger ???

a giant burger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches.

Add bacon for an even more epic noshing experience…..

 

I’d have to bike there & back (44 miles) just to work off

that indulgent meal……

Parties who want milk

should not seat themselves on a stool
in the middle of a field

in hope that the cow will back up to them.

What20wld20u20change
If you had the chance to go back in time
and change one thing, would you do it?
Dolphin-cow
and the cow swam away with the dolphin

always positive,
