Fourth of July




Well it has been another wonderful summer weekend. We went on our friend's boat on the Hudson, up the mighty river to see fireworks put on by various towns. They were so grand, one wonders if they will have enough left over for snow removal this year.

The next day we cycled 30 miles for charity. We left from a beautiful farm in Dutchess County and then rode through Stamfordville, Amenia etc. It was great except for one fellow who careened down a hill so fast he fell and took out a sign. Except for his bike shorts which disintegrated upon impact, and his bike seat, he walked away. It was miraculous. We finished off the event with a lovely luncheon in their barn.

The charity was for lung cancer in honor of a woman who died two years ago who used to ride with us. Lucky for me the local bike shop came to support the riders because I busted my front derailer and S had a flat. Usually we ride about 25 miles and would have really been stuck.

That night we headed to a country club display which was amazing. It was a great party and then fireworks!!! Yesterday we worked out and then went out to dinner with friends at a restaurant on the water in Westport.
Today we played 18 holes of golf with a friend N, and took our son out to dinner.
The only problem with having this much fun is I don't feel like going to work tomorrow!!!
