Day 31, August 1, 2006

I am sitting here on the lovely sandy beach at the beautiful home of Anne and Bob. It is only 6:30 and although we were in the most comfortable bed, I was awake through the night. I suppose the event of yesterday weighing heavily on my mind. Not to say that I have a few aches as well.

Last night Bob went for a swim and later Bob, Anne, Len and Iona (who are also staying)and my Bob and I sat out in the screened gazebo and talked, and then at 10, just before 10 we got in the hot tub. Our hosts are most gracious and I do feel like we are being treated like royalty. As I gaze out on Lake Huron and see nothing but water, it provides me with a calming effect. Way, way off in the distance I can see Manatoulin Island. It is going to be a steamy ride today as you can feel the humidity. Right here there is a lovely breeze blowing off the water.

Last night I did the blog on Bob's computerr so was able to access the comments. I love hearing from you. Glad Carol that you and Mary are getting in some riding. I don't think that I have lost any weight but I know my body proportions are shifting. I can pull my biking shorts up to my armpits now! Mind you the tops of my legs are as thick as telephone poles..

I must go and pack up...I hate to leave!! This place is amazing..a top notch resort! Thak you Anne and Bob!

I'm so sorry you were injured. Do you remember years ago, on a ride to Norton, Chris Martin touched Steve's back wheel, and she went down? I remember how painful it was for her, and it's kind of shocking when it happens. I hope your friend will be ok. Hope you are getting enough rest-even if you can't sleep sometimes it helps to just lie there, and rest.

Keep the rubber side DOWN! Not up. Also, keep it between the ditches.

Mary and I might do the Mace's Bay ride tonight, becuase we will both be on the West side around 4,30 or so. It's a gorgeous day here-very warm and sunny.
Love,
Carole
