Hey Babe!
Today was a day off for Flash, I wanted him to get a good rest before our twenty mile ride from Hopkins Creek to here tomorrow, so the only activity today was a load of laundry and some housekeeping. We took another float down the Boardman River with the kids (which was much faster without the big duck, which had too much of a draft for this shallow creek, I think), and that was a lot of fun. I’m very happy my inflatable kayak is hold up despite the bumps and scratches of submerged logs and trailing limbs in the water, it seems to be pretty tough! Clint, whom I met with his wife Nance down at Hopkins Creek, delivered eight nice bales of hay, with a lot of alfalfa content, which I find hard to resist at $7 a bale, but I figure it will be okay for Flash for a few days, then I’ll get some grass hay down at Big Rapids and mix it in with it, especially once I get Apollo back, and it will be fine. It’ll be good before the ride tomorrow as well, give him some extra energy tonight. They had an ice cream social for everyone at 7:00 which was fun, though we got into some lively discussions about how the MTRA needs to do more outreach to attract more riders, though some members of the old board just want to keep it the way it is, an unfortunate but typical attitude of most organizations. Anyway, I’m going to bed early, so I can get up early, we’re leaving at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I already had my shower, and even washed my hair which was so refreshing with almost no hair left! At least it felt that way! So heading to bed here very shortly. Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
