Pedaling through the Vineyards

Hi all,
We had another great weekend! We entered a charity event in Napa, CA benefiting the blind and the veterans. We rode 25 miles on our bikes through the vineyards, wineries and backroads. It was a beautiful ride for a beautiful cause. In the morning when we first arrived, the hot air balloons were gliding across the vineyards. Definitely made it for a good welcome.

After our picturesque ride, we drove to Chico to help Mandy assemble some furniture for her room; she finally got rid of my childhood furniture which dated back 35 years. The bed frame she was using dated by 50 years. As you can see, she was well overdue for new furniture. We spent 4 hours assembling everything and she now has a modern, beautiful bedroom. She was very appreciative. After our assembly, we took the girls (Mandy and her roommate) to dinner at the yummiest Mexican food restaurant we've experienced. I can't wait to go back!

I hope you all had a great weekend filled with sunshine, warmth and good times.

Little Buddy

Hi all,
Someone very small joined me today at the gym. I found him amongst the free weights; poor little guy was covered with dust. My trainer and I came to the rescue; we scooped him up with a towel and gently brought him back to nature. This little buddy was a very small frog. It was unusual to find such a creature in the gym -- made for a good workout though.

Enjoy this day and whatever it has to offer.

Small Town

Howdy,
Did the cowgirl thing this weekend! Went to the Oakdale Rodeo/Dance. It was a hometown, good, ole rodeo in a small town. The turn-out was great! It was a warm, sunny day; lots of dirt, cowboys, and action. The dance was held in a hall on the fairgrounds; wasn't what I expected but they made the best of it. It almost seemed like a barn dance. Two bands performed (not so good) and there was a lot of boot scootin' going on. It was a fun weekend of sun, fun, and dance.

Rascal Flatts

Hi all,
Had an absolute blast on Friday night -- went to the Rascal Flatts concert. The opener was Taylor Swift -- she's so young and vibrant; sang all her good songs off her first album. The main guys (The Flatts) were outstanding!! The crowd was definitely pumped and the show was awesome! They had great show pyrotechnics, cool video clips and an awesome stage set-up. The concert was sold out and the crowd went wild! So fun!
