Great Friends, Good Times

Eric had signed up for a bike race in Snelling, and Joan and Larry encouraged me to go along for an overnighter since they were here to watch the kids. Even with a sore head and fatigue, it didn’t take much to convince me to jump on a getaway with my husband! We made the 4 hour drive to Val and Cheri's house, arriving in time for a delicious dinner. We stayed up playing cards and chatting before calling it a night.


Eric scooted out a 7 am Saturday morning for a 67 mile bike race in wet slippery conditions. He had a ball, finishing about 10th of 102 riders in his heat. While he was racing, Cheri and I attended a Relief Society seminar, taught by a representative from Stephen R. Covey Industries. He taught a seminar about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Women, putting a spiritual application on all the principles. It was a perfect pick-me-up and so nice to see familiar faces of people I missed from Merced. We finished up there, went to good 'ol La Hacienda2 for lunch with the Fogelberg’s, then drove home and went to dinner with Stephen family. Short but full trip. I’m looking forward to a peaceful Sabbath day of rest with my family!
