Reunions, racing & returning

This was a very good, very long weekend. Some of the good things:

-When I got home, my zucchinni plant greeted me with an actual zucchinni! Go garden!

-When Jim crashed his bike in the last lap of today's Idaho State Championships race, he didn't break bones nor bikes (well, not his own anyway).

-Even though I have to be home alone all week while Jim stays in Idaho, at least I don't have to scrub his road rash everyday. I would, of course, but I'm happy his nurse sister will be taking care of him...

-A bunch of friends & family came out today & yesterday to watch Jim race both days. It was great to have them all see what we've been up to this year. :-)

-In yesterday's Twilight Criterium, Jim finished 12th out of a huge pack- he did so great!

-I finally got a camera case to protect my camera (and then prompty lost the camera...)

-I had a fun time at the Meridian High 10-year reunion. We got to hang out with friends Wyatt and Derek, who I've known since middle school, as well as some others.

-Had an even funner time at the Eagle High 10-year reunion, which I've spent the last 3 months frantically planning. It went off without a hitch, and turned out even better than I was expecting. My relief is immense.

-People were very grateful that Lindsay & I planned the reunion (since, 3 months ago, there wasn't going to be one at all). That made it all worthwhile.

-Had a wonderful time catching up with old friends! :-)  (& seeing all their masses of children!)

-Spent a lovely evening with Gramma & Vern. They even pulled out the old ice-cream maker, and we cranked ourselves some incredibly delicious ice cream. Mmmmm.

-Chester is having a fun vacation at Doggie Daycare. The kitties are very cuddly now that I'm home (and since the big loud guy and the big loud dog aren't here!).

-OK, on to the next adventures: Joe's in town next weekend; Jim's family is in town & at the coast the following weekend; then to Vegas for Joe's Big Birthday (turning 28 on 8-8-08); camping at Crater Lake soon after.

Whew. I'm going to bed....

Sounds like you are having a ball.... and Jim, too... except for the crash. Glad that turned out as well as it did. Enjoy that lone zucchini. There will be hoards of relatives visiting your house very soon and you will be unable to escape the onslaught. Happy almost Birthday.
