Near Future

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.
