Life and stuff

We have been biking more again. I think it was the 90-100 degree weather that kept us indoors for several weeks. Rode twice this week.

This weekend our young married group from church is going to a cabin near Port Royal, PA. We are leaving Friday evening and coming home Sunday. We have a speaker coming Saturday evening, and there is to be an abundance of food. Mountain pies, hooray!

Amy has a new hobby: sewing. Husband Claus got her a sewing machine for her birthday! So far the house has received curtains in the kitchen (sorry, no paintings yet, that is still to come) and Amy has received a new dress. Said dress has yet to be worn in public.

And the last time I rode my bike was Memorial Day. Go figure. Not from lack of desire, mind you. Been distracted lately. That red Malibu in the garage has been getting the bulk of my attention. Its all ready to go back together, as of tonight. All parts are degreased and repainted.

We got a new kitty. Our succession of cats have all had Biblical names; this one is all white, so I thought he should have the name of an angel. I picked Gideon, then realized that Gideon wasn't an angel. But the name stuck. Unfortunately, he only seems to answer to "Hey CAT!!"
