Memorial Day Weekend

I'm happy to report that our committment to getting in shape is intact. We have been riding our bikes at least three times a week. Yesterday (Memorial Day) we went to Reber's Bridge and rode the trail into Reading. That is about 8 miles round trip. It is a nice ride, do it sometime. It is the old Union Canal tow path along the Schuylkill River. There's a bunch of old museum-type buildings you can go in, including the Gruber wagon works.



Perhaps I should start at the beginning of the weekend. Friday was Amy's b-day (she's 24, and feeling old) so I took her to Shady Maple, where she had never been. Saturday morning I traded cars with a friend of mine, his needs some work done. Did the recycling, then mowed the yard.



In the evening we went to the parents of Amy's friend's fiance for a rehearsal dinner. They had some of the best ribs there I ever tasted. Sunday I skedaddled from the house ASAP, cuz all the bridesmaids for the wedding were preparing themselves for presentation at our house. I went to first service to hide from them. There were two more that are not in the pic, plus a couple of the cutest little flower girls.



After the ladies left for pix, Amy and I bummed around the house until it was time for the wedding. It was a wonderful wedding. The bride comes from a situation that was not so good, and it made her into a very strong, committed, honorable person. You can really see Christ in her life. She's 21, and the groom turned 19 yesterday. He is the most mature 18 year old I have ever met. They are made for each other, and the wedding was one of the happiest things I have ever experienced. After the sniffling and giggling stopped, we came home to relax. Monday I worked on my friend's car, then we went to the bike trail, then went to another friend's house for a Memorial Day party. There was smoke from the grill and smoke from the tires of said friend's Camaro. A good time was had by all.
Took Pop & Mom and Marvin's to Newark today to catch their flight to Israel. Back to work tomorrow.

"PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION" AND IN OUR MODERN ERA, PRIDE AMONG THE NATURAL SCIENCES HAS TAKEN THE FORM OF OVERESTIMATING OUR KNOWLEDGE, OF ARROGATING FOR SCIENCE A KIND OF OMNISCIENCE THE WE DO NOT IN FACT HAVE. OR, TO REFINE IT A BIT: "PLAYING GOD" MEANS WE CONFUSE THE KNOWLEDGE WE DO HAVE WITH THE WISDOM TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
