Saint Paul - a bit of everything weekend

Neil, Grace and Christopher in town. John Sandor waiting on us...something we could all get used to!
Shower for the frist great grandchild - so the rest in town as well.
Ride two for our Saturday group.
Mary's birthday dinner - a little late but was a perfect blend to go with H1N1 and Cinco de Mayo.
And the May Day Parade down Bloomington in Minneapolis on a perfect sunny day.

Saint Paul - Mary hosts a mini-reunion

A night of reuniting old, dear friends. The conversation just picks up again. We came together as old high school friends...but were actually grade school friends as well. Lots of catching up, memories and certainly conversation about where we are and our worlds moving forward.
And there was extended conversation about good feet and hair....we must be getting old.
I think there was mutual agreement that we will do again in less than the 30 plus year gap since the last time!

Hunter Valley New South Wales Australia

I have been a lucky man. I have had the opportunity to enjoy many great times in the Hunter Valley.....and the wine only made it better!

Danny Qu - the face of a man with a new car!

Saint Paul - the biking season officially begins

The first ride is now under our belt. 11 of us ventured out and had a good first ride. We had 3 go astray and one flat so we are right on track for an adventure filled new season.
50, windy, more hot air flowing than there was air in her tires - seems there is a new rule book for 2009 for Carly...or we may never see her again...
And Linda took the break to practice her mother of the bride pose and smile.

Broughton Island New South Wales Australia

Richard, Keith, Micah, Francis and friends at the annual pilgrimage to Broughton. What happens in Broughton stays in Broughton I have heard.
