Thanksgiving is not far off, and we are anticipating company. Susie and Bill, plus Scott and the boys. I would love to be a fly in the car to see how Scott can manage 5-6 hours with a six and two year old.
Ginnie is busy thinking about cooking for the crowd, making grocery lists and checking recipes. I got an email from the aliner group, and a spring rally near Pella, Iowa sounded good. I've made reservations for that, so we have a destination for late April. We also are hoping to hear about a possible Spring rally in Louisiana.
We talked about a winter trip to Florida, but we wont be camping if we do that. Ginnie's craft group at Church has had their annual Bazaar, so she get's a break from that for several months. She wanted the DVD player hooked up so she can do her Zumba exercises, and I've found a bicycling club that rides three mornings each week. Temperatures need to be at 40 degrees or higher, so here's hoping for a mild winter. I also need to improve my conditioning before I ride with the group. I try to ride every day when it's above freezing, and am riding only 9 miles taking about an hour to do that. I need to improve on the distance and increase my average speed. Thinking back, my shortest ride used to be 24 miles, and averaged 15-16 mph doing it. A doctor, just last week, reminded me that I am 74, not 25 any more. Sheesh. Doesn't mean I have to accept senility.
