Hi gals,
DH's birthday was nice. We had tri-tip, salads, corn on the cob, french bread and an Applebee's Blondie Brownie dessert that I baked. Had lots of family over and it was nice. My DS#1's wife finally came over. She's usually MIA when there are family activities. It was nice to get to talk to her. She asked me for a couple of recipes and I emailed them to her this morning, plus some pictures of an area that she likes. Hopefully, we can have a closer relationship in the future.
Today, I didn't go on the group bike ride as I wanted to play golf tonite and didn't want DH to think I wasn't willing to help with the patio project. However, he dinked around helping DS with his pickup, little stuff around the house so when he went to lunch with both DS's, I went out and did a bike ride by myself. After that, we both watched the end of the NASCAR race and then went to the golf course. I think I only told him how and where to drive the cart a couple times, so think I'm improving. It was very nice out and I played a little better than I have. So nice to have him come with me.
Nicole, glad you had a nice time on your trip. Isn't it great to live so close to the beach and mountains? I live in the mountains, but on the edge of the high desert, lots of public land, which we thoroughly enjoy. The weather has been pretty nice lately, low 90's and high 80's. Just pleasant. However, the wind comes up in the afternoon, which makes cycling a challenge then.
Patricia, I LOVE your cottage!!! So cute!! I sure hope you guys get to spend a nice vacation up there this summer. We were talking about the coast of Oregon last night and I'm thinking I'd like to go back next vacation, next year. I miss it. This is terrible, but I have memories of being a kid with a sandbox and cats using it. Guess it didn't bother us too much, cuz we still played. I'm sure yours isn't like that.
Debra, why is our Wendy crabby? Couldn't be the same one that I met in NC. She was never crabby. Maybe she needs her Verona coffee. Can't wait to see your pictures of the beach! What stuff do you guys have planned all week?
Wendy, will Phil and the girls be staying all week too? What's on the agenda? I am sooooo envious of you two!!!! Making me homesick for another Retreat. Seriously! I want to see pictures!!! My DH will be going with DS#2 for a 2 week hunting trip to Wyoming in September. I'm already plotting what I'll do when he's gone. Bad wifey
. Don't worry, it'll be harmless stuff like golf at that nice place I went to a few weeks ago, longer bike rides, ordering from Zappos, ordering more MyChelle products.
Okay ladies, am going to start doing stretching or yoga on my Monday rest day. I also ordered a couple of golf fitness DVD's yesterday. I'm wanting to find some sport specific exercises to help me get more distance and power.
Night, night.
