Still in park...more or less

So I haven't been to tops in awhile, because of timing, it is going on when I really like to sleep. I know that is a poor excuse.

Joey and I each got a bicycle last week, I haven't ridden in about 10 years, and I cannot believe how out of shape I really am. I can maybe ride a half a mile. Gone are the days when I lived in Villa Park and we were only 2.5 miles from the prairie path, where I could ride for 10 miles without getting even the slightest bit winded. We don't have anyplace like that near here, so we just ride up and down our rode, which is up and down hill. Joey can't ride any further than I can, he says he can't breathe, I tell him to quit the smoking, and soon he'll be able to breathe, and then ride further. Everyday, we go a little further. Everyday we get a little better.

Joey complains that he is fat, I disagree, I tell him that he is just a little out of shape. But, I love him. He never says anything about my weight, and so many of the people I know, their husbands and boyfriends are forever putting them down, calling them "fat slobs" and worse. I don't know how I would handle it if Joey ever did that to me? He really treats me like a queen.

As for mine and Mom's camping trip, why did I choose the hottest weekend in October? We had a good time though, and we are planning another campout for November 16-18 on Mount Nebo, in case anyone else wants to join us, we have an extra tent. Just let me know, and make your own reservation, and if you are not much of a tent camper, they do have some fairly reasonable cabins.

On a sad note, this past Saturday we buried my great-aunt Poll (pronounced like doll), Dollie Ruth Williams McDonald. She was a phenomenal woman. Robert Miller performed the service, and did a fantastic job, probabily the first Christadelphian exhortation many there had ever heard. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

So, with the bike riding, I'm trying to kick start my self once again. Please pray for me.

My love to all, annabanana
