NEW BIKE!!!!!

Got Jack a new bike today!! It was on sale at...Wal-mart...I know, I know...but what a nice bike and we all went bike riding down the street and then up to the school and back. I may have a shot at losing some weight yet. Next purchase: Bike rack for the top of the car.

It will be fun to take the bikes to NY and then Maine this summer.

I saw our dear friend Cathy while we were getting the bike. As I stood there talking to her, I could not help but think, "How lucky I am that this incredibly nice, sweet, kind, fun, wonderful person is friends with me." Of all the people she knows, she wants to do the bike trail with us!

Dear Cathy,

I know we said we would do DC but I may have to start out slow, my butt (and hips, and knees, and feet) are sore from one hour of riding and I only rode around Berlin. I'd like to try the Meyersdale trail first, then Confluence to Ohiopyle, before I get up the stamina for DC. Will you come with us and show us the different trails? It would be so fun.

Your friend,

Maria

PS. Fr. Tim invited Cynthia over for dinner!
