Wonderful weekend.....
I picked up my repaired bike at Bikes and Beans on Friday evening....new chain, cassette, tire, hubs repacked....and $$$$ later, but a well oiled and smooth running machine...
Saturday was a great day. Lovely sunshine and warm....much like summer. WE had organized a 130 km ride and Dorothy, Glen, Dana, and Barb joined us at the ferry to celebrate was Bob and my 34 WEdding Anniversary!! We cycled around the Kingston Peninsula, then along the back of the Belleisle to Belleisle Creek where our first stop was at the store for cookies. The countryside around here is amazing. WE are so fortunate to have the luxary of selecting a different route any time we want to go for a ride....and the scenery is second to none. Lovely farmland, rolling hills, or the waterways.... I always am in awe and always enjoy the outings. We continued on up through to Collina and then down through to the old Trans Canada which led us into Sussex, where we had a lunch. I made the mistake of ordering "fries" with my Denver sandwich and burped all the way back home. My bike worked great and When we arrived back at the ferry landing, some 130 km later, I felt super. It was the longest ride Dana and Barb had ever done and they seemed pleased although Dana said his butt was sore and wondered how Bob and I did this day after day for the entire summer!!
Sunday, after church, Bob and I tackled the long overdue job of house maintenance. WE washed the vinyl siding and did windows. The place was overrun with large spiders, webs, and daddy long legs.... Good to have that job done although Bob now feels that we need to replace the roof before winter....
We both attended a Bible Study last night, which was interesting and from there it was on to celebrate Joan Lawrence's birthday with cake at Lisa's. It was nice to see some familiar faces who wanted to know about our trip. Most of that crew are wind surfers and they had just returned from a trip to the Magdallen Islands. We watched a CD of photos from their trip. Amazing.
I have heard from Warren, Betty, Reg, Adrienne and Bernd who are adjusting to life after the trip. It is great to keep in touch.
This is the week of the Kennebecasis Valley Quilt show, with the Gala opening on Wednesday night and the show to open on Thursday, located in the Lions Club Arena. I am going back to work at Town and Country Quilts this morning....and will most likely get some extra time helping out during the show as Tina will have a booth set up there.
