This past Friday my husband’s mother, Bonnie Berger, died unexpectedly at the age of 63. We never know when a loved one will pass away. In today’s world of advances in diagnosis and treatment, 63 is indeed an early age to die. I knew I wanted to blog about Bonnie’s life and death but found it to be a difficult task. In February I faced…
rainy vacation
The only thing worse than a rainy vacation is a rainy vacation at the beach. That about sums up my vacation this past week. Brett and I spent the week in the Outer Banks with friends and family. We had a super nice house on the beach in Corolla. It was the nicest we have rented to date with an in ground pool and nice…
looking back to last year
Today is Brett and my first anniversary. Well, that is our “official” anniversary. Of course there are the other 20 years that were unofficial. Up until this year, we have always celebrated November 17 as our anniversary since it was the day we met. The dilemma has been which one to celebrate. September 19 seems to be the most logical since it is official and…
hancock horizontal hundred
This past Sunday I attempted my first century bike ride, the Hancock Horizontal Hundred (HHH) in Findlay and Hancock County Ohio wih my partner Brett, friend Susan and her Brother Keith.

We also like to spend a few hours at our local fairs. We spent Saturday evening at the Randolph Fair, our county fair. It’s only a few miles away and…

Pedal to the Point 2010
This past weekend I cycled in the MS Pedal to the Point charity bike ride from Cleveland to Sandusky. I rode 75 miles on Saturday and 75 on the Sunday return. My partner Brett cycled with me. It was a memorable event. More importantly, this was my big goal for 2010 to cycle in a long distance ride like this. Multiple Sclerosis is a great…
East Bay Bicycle Path
I blogged after my early July cycling vacation in New England that I would highlight some of the trails I rode that week. I just haven’t had much time to blog over the past few weeks. I had some time at lunch today and decided to blog about the East Bay Bike Trail in Rhode Island. The East Bay trail gets a lot of publicity…
