Hi All,
We had a nice relaxing holiday week. Christmas Day Matthew was at his Dad's, so GJ and I got to enjoy one of our favorite meals of homemade crab cakes - yum! We celebrated our "gift opening" Christmas this weekend and we roasted a chicken which was also delicious. We also took a family Christmas shot and decided to send the one with the funny hats - Matthew opted with the safest option of the Santa hat. :-)
We are on track to make our 2013 biking goal on New Year's Eve. Miles for the week are 110, miles for 2013 are 3,771 and total miles are 8,971.

Hi All,
Despite what looked to be a dismal weather forecast, I collected Matthew from college and Roger and Becky arrived for Thanksgiving on Tuesday without significant issue. Roger and Becky did adjust their plans to arrive on Tuesday instead of Wednesday because of the storm that was coming through. We had a couple of nice days of cooking, eating, and visiting. Becky and I made a mix of old favorite recipes and a few new ones for two days of Thanksgiving "feasting". Matthew had a steady stream of class work to keep him busy over the break. Hard to believe in less than two weeks this semester will be finished and he'll be home. I've attached the annual family Thanksgiving shot.
Matthew also decorated the Christmas tree and Steve has posted a really cool "high speed" video of it on Facebook using his GoPro camera. :-)
We missed a few days riding this week (Steve had a follow up CT scan on Monday, chill'n out with family a few other days) but overall not a bad week - miles for the week 64, miles for 2013 - 3,410 and total miles of 8,610.
