Perfect Fathers Day

Rode out to Stillwater, with about 8 teammates, to watch the final stage of the NVGP. I got us lost by missing two turns. One busy road, with a wide shoulder, and 5 extra miles got us back on the right route. Getting old sucks! Speaking of old, can you see a racer in the image below that looks like he's over the age of 15? This is the start of the mens race.
Turned the navigation duties over to Steve for the ride home, but wait, he's older than I am! Nevertheless, he got us home, without getting us lost, on a very nice route. 70/18.1
Kids and grand kids came over at 5:30. We had sweet and sour chicken, brown rice, and pot stickers. For dessert, french silk pie and blue berry pie. All made from scratch and mighty fine tasting.


I came away with some major swag tonight. Hand made cards from the grand kiddos, very thoughtful cards from my kids, and great gifts of photos, a cook book and lots of Peanut M&Ms.
Best of all though, were the hugs, conversation and reminiscences. I am so lucky.

Very nice....everyone looks happy. Heck, I'd be happy with food like that! Wow even a choice of homemade pies?

Glad you could ride out to Stillwater for the race.
