Carbo Load Week

Our friends, Ray and Arlene invited us to their grandson's party.  It was a full on party with all the good stuff, including a jumper and all the Thomas the Train stuff you can imagine.  Delicious hotdogs!  I got to hold Steve and Rachel's cute baby and it was a fun time.  Who knew there were more than one Glendale in AZ, CA, and UT? Apparently Utah has two, one in Southern Utah and one right in Salt Lake City. Hunh?!

 Today, Mel finished the Frontrunner metric century ride in flying colors.  Even though we carbo loaded on spagetti and bread last night, quite frankly, I was worried about him being able to complete the ride.  It was from Salt Lake to Ogden, for Pete's sake! 

 He did a spectacular job.  Here he is at the finish just after receiving his medal. Woo Hoo!

Before I mail it

I made a quilt for some people I don't know who are having a 50th wedding anniversary.  I'm mailing it off today and just thought you might want to see it before I send it.  It cost me $103. to make using coupons and stuff I already had and it took me 57 hours, as close as I can calculate.  I hope it keeps them warm and happy for another 50 years, because it is made with love.  I sure wish someone would help me learn how to quilt without making holes in my thumb.

April's Winners

So glad March Mustache month is gone so that Mel can look more like a winner.
