This Week's Update [6/28/15] - Visit from Roger and Becky

Hi All,

Things are starting to get back to normal.  Made it through dealing with all the "stuff" that had invaded the house from Matthew's return from college and integration of stuff from Steve's house in Victor to enjoy having family dinner at our house tonight.  

My brother Roger and sister-in-law Becky were visiting Mom for a long weekend.  Steve made some really awesome steak on the grill with corn on the cob, roasted red potatoes, caramelized onions, and sauteed mushrooms.  Yum!  Fortunately for us, Steve is an all-weather grill master so this occurred despite the cold and rain.

We also got more riding in this week (even some outside!).  

Miles for the week are 62, miles for 2015 are  1,696, and total miles are 13,950.

(Post dinner pictures attached.  We had some technical difficulties so

have one selfie and one GoPro picture.)

Take care,

Zelma

Hi All,

We had another busy week - as of Friday, all the pieces fell into place on the sale of Steve's house so everything is moved out and we are just waiting for the closing to be scheduled.  The process has been nutty and stressful - will be glad when it is fully done.  I am looking forward to things getting back to our normal routine and spending some much needed time on our house and yard as well as assimilating the remaining "stuff" that came from Victor. :-)

Canal Maintenance Tugboat at Adams Basin

Hopefully getting back to the normal routine will include more biking miles.  We did actually get outside today - although the wind was a bit stronger than I care for, so we didn't do our full ride. We did stop for a little while in Spencerport to listen to the Sunday night concert at the gazebo.  

Miles for the week are 38, miles for 2015 are 1,633, and total miles are 13,887.

Take care,

Zelma

This Week's Update [6/14/15] - Rain Go Away!

Hi all,

It was another busy week catching up after vacation.  Steve's house is under contract - fingers crossed that the buyer makes it cleanly through the mortgage approval and we head to closing.  I spent a long day on Thursday in Victor coordinating a lot of final things on the house.  Best estimate is we have a couple of more trips to collect the final remaining things from the house sometime this week.

The rain has been on-going this week - probably one of the wettest streaks I can remember having.  There is a corner of our yard that always gets a little soggy in the rainy season.  This year it has turned into a full-fledged water feature.  It was deep enough to not only attract 2 ducks this week, but they actually went for a swim!!!

Saturday, Steve and I did our 2nd annual bike tune-up for Camp Abilities in Brockport.  It is a week long summer sports camp for children who are blind or have visual disabilities.  Fortunately the weather cooperated and we had a dry morning to tune-up 14 bikes they use in the program.

Rain and house selling are still hampering mileage - but at least we got in a couple of rides this week.  Miles for the week are 25, miles for 2015 are 1,595, and total miles are 13,849.

Take care,

Zelma

This Week's Update [6/7/15] - Vacation Break

Hi All,

We had a nice week visiting Sarah, Mike and Olivia.  The house we rented this year was only about 10 mins from there so it made it quite handy to visit.  The weather forgot to co-operate so there were a couple of days of rain and unseasonably cool for the balance of the week.  A big contributor to not getting out on the bikes.

It was fun to see how much Olivia has changed since we last saw her in December.  She and "PaPa" (aka Steve) and the rest of us had a lot of fun.  On Saturday, we also got to visit with Sue, Jenn, Margeaux and Simone.

Take care,

Zelma
