We had Peter's service on Friday. Here he was at the Redmond Watershed in the spring:

We scattered his ashes on Saturday morning on Rattlesnake Ridge. There is quite a nice view from up there.

I'll add a few more pictures from that day I hope. On Sunday I finally bought a bicycle. It is, of all things, a Schwinn.


new bike

It is quite light for the price, especially when compared to the bikes which were available when I bought mine 22 years ago. That one is long gone. This new one is made out of aluminum and it has carbon fiber forks. It is above entry level but to me and what I was used to it is very far up. I rode it to Redmond Town Center today, about 14 miles round trip. Another biker already yelled at me to "go." I've heard at how impatient and rude they can be. This is the point where I miss the back country roads of Western Massachusetts. This is a strange website. I have a year to pay it off. I hope my lottery tickets pan out.

Hey, I almost forgot. In the spring I fished some geraniums out of the Costco dumpster. They weren't pretty anymore, but geraniums are tough. I repotted half of them and kept the rest on their original pots. They get water, sun and food and they have been flowering like crazy. Because my deck looks so nice, I won $75.00 off next month's rent. Something is working for me. Now, to think about school ....
