I haven't been out on a good ride with my group in a long time! Since last season to be more specific.
This year it's been one thing after another keeping me off the Trek - the latest has been a need for new tires and given the financial state of the home right now I just couldn't justify it. Mike H. (aka "Dad") mentioned to my mother in law that I hadn't been out on the rides...so I told her to say "Patty said if only her dad would get her some tires she could ride"...well all joking aside - he did just that - pulled a pair of used tires he had in his garage and met me at the bike shop last night to hand them over---while giving me a hard time about not riding - and making me promise to meet them next Wednesday and do the ride. I'm going to have to really pull it together this week, get the tires on and get out there Saturday and do 40 or so miles to get myself ready for a good hard ride with these guys...I'll need a tank of Oxygen when they get finished with me next week I'm sure.
Anyway...Mike...if you read this - love ya and thanks for the tires!
Gotta run - off to ride the bikes to school and then head to work.
Safe and Happy Riding.

11 years ago...
I had Gaven. Really, where does time go?
He was such a chubby little baby - now he's skinny like Bobby used to be (for any of you who remember that).
Yesterday he was showing me new tricks he learned on his bike - like standing on the back pegs and going no handed while going pretty darn fast down the road...glad I believe in making them wear helmets!
Anyway, we all bought him books and this weekend is the big project of redecorating his room with a surf boarders theme as opposed to his current scooby doo bed stuff. He's growing up and doesn't want to have baby stuff anymore!
He is having a swimming party on Saturday the 6th and some of the guys from that will be spending the night so I need to make sure his room is done by then.

My baby girl turns 17 today
Today my daughter turns 17. Where have the years gone? I'm certain that it wasn't so long ago I held her in my arms amazed that such a beautiful little girl was mine. It wasn't so long ago when she would run off the porch and into my arms when I got home from work with her long blonde hair flying behind her and a big smile on her face. Now in the place of that little girl is a young woman who I'm often in awe of. She is amazingly talented, witty, engaging, trendy, kind, compassionate, a fighter for many causes. She has such conviction and passion about things.
I am so proud of her and love watching her grow into a young woman...yet a part of me is a little sad that the time has passed. I wish I could roll the clock back and hold on to that little girl with long blonde hair and big blue eyes who loved to sit in my lap, so that I could read her one more bedtime story, or play at the park another day with her. Silly huh?
Anyway, Happy Birthday my Sassy Cassy!

Heart Monitor
Today we went to the cardiologists office - Brendon is now on a heart monitor for a month to see what is causing the heart palpatations.
It's recorded twice now and I just found out that we have to call it in from a land line phone and not a cell phone. Hurray! So off to mom's since we decided to go cell phones all the way in my house. Sheesh - that's kind of a pain in the you know what.
