Half-Pint

It's been a while since Act 7 but I figured I need to update with a few stories, it was another amazing journey for me, filled with laughter, tears and crazy stories. Here is a short list of some of the things that happened: Jenn: Is that a tree? DJ: o it’s a stick farm (I blame lack of oxygen) Bee Sting - on the first day,within the first 10 miles actually Falling off a cliff- don't ask Going to the All-you-could-ever-need gas station for food with DJ, Cal & Loni DJ eating leftover fried chicken while riding on century day Michelle’s undercarriage - funniest quote about how riding can hurt Meow at the cow- yeah I totally forgot the MOOO part The 10 bugs I ate as nutrition - no kidding, they helped! Great ride again!!

Last week I went home, for what I believe was my 4th trip since moving out to WI. The reason for the trip was twofold, 1. after Loni’s mom died she really felt that I should go spend more time with my father. 2. An old friend was coming to town from NJ and we have not seen each other in over 10 years so it was a great chance to catch up. I really don’t think that the trip could have gone any better than it did. Thursday I arrived just after lunch (to a nice veggie sub by the way) and we were able to sit around, eat some yummy black cherries and then left for Grand Rapids to the Whitecaps game. My dad and I had a chance to chat the entire time, to reminisce about his days playing ball in the Army, how Grandpa would have never let him play pro (since they play on Sundays) and how much my dad was starting to say things just like his dad did. It was the best part of the trip was sitting there for that ball game, chatting over a couple of beers. Friday was a nice slow start to the morning,
