Today was the first day since mid-April that we haven't had a full agenda of house-related stuff to accomplish. Ya know, rest is hard to do when you've fallen out of the habit! We had a very good day, though. We did a little yard work this afternoon, spent some time at Barnes & Noble, and tried to catch up on some rest.
This morning, I worked on a big new project while Mitch headed over to nearby Nixa to ride in a bicycling event with nephews Nick and Blake. He planned to do the 35 mile ride, but slept in this morning and got there in time to catch the end of the 6 mile ride instead. Six miles for Mitch is nothing, so he quickly caught up with the group and passed them.
Twenty minutes later, he glanced at his little computer and discovered he was 7 miles into the 6 mile route. He was going to continue on, but glanced behind him and discovered that the whole herd was following him! Yep, they all breezed by the short route markers and were on the 35 mile route, too. Some of the other riders had small kids in tow, and no one but Mitch was carrying a drop of water. So, Mitch stopped, turned the whole lost group around and headed back to the start point. Just in time, too; severe weather moved in shortly after they got back. It's still stormy here tonight.
We haven't made plans for tomorrow yet, but I think another day or two like this one, and we'll both feel almost human again. May you have a restful Sunday, and very happy and fruitful June!
