Just a quick update: Yes, Sunday afternoon I did mow the yard. The mower works fine. Monday a.m. had a few quick errands before my sister arrived about 11:00 a.m. Then we went rock shopping in Wichita for a few hours. That evening we walked..about 2 to 2 1/2 miles.
This morning we went out to Dutch Kitchen and had breakfast (biscuits and gravy...now there's some diet food for ya!!) After a couple of other stops, Jude had to leave to head back to Joplin.
So at 1 p.m. Mary and I rode to Partridge (a little over 19 miles round trip). Our original destination was Haven..but the wind was very definitely out of the southwest. Our motto is to always ride INTO the wind, then enjoy the push all the way back. It was WONDERFUL!!!! On the way back we were working just trying to keep up with our feet spinning around and flew along at 21 and 22 mph. (Told Wes, Mary's husband, that when we got back and he, of course, said, "Why weren't you doing 27 or 28?" Sometimes ya just can't win!!!) Anyway, we had a really nice ride, a lot of fun. It's always more fun with someone because you get involved in the conversation and the time (and miles) just fly by. We plan to try to get out again tomorrow and go again.
Haven't planted the cucumbers and tomatoes outside yet, but I did go get some Miracle Grow potting soil and planted my elephant ear bulbs in a big planter today. It took what seemed like forever before they came up last year and I'd planted them fairly close to the surface. I planted them fairly deep today and afterwards wondered if they be up by the fall frost.
Well, that's my "update" for now. More later!
