We decided to celebrate Memorial Day with a bike ride to the Mexican restaurant. That seems more like something we should have done for Cinco de Mayo, but it was snowing then. This time the husbands rode along, too.
While I was in Seattle I missed the grand opening of the Bridge-to-Nowhere - aptly nicknamed, because 2 years ago, the city installed a pedestrian bridge over a very busy 6-lane road but then gated it off because it didn't go anywhere (it connected 2 empty fields). Well, they finally finished paving a trail on both sides which luckily connects our neighborhood to the Cherry Creek Trail (the one I usually drive to). So, I got up early on Sunday and rode down to check it out myself. It was sort of a miserable day (cold and windy), but I managed to get back home before the rain hit.
And speaking of rain, it's done nothing but for the past week. We finally took Charlie to the dog park so he could work off a little energy. He was so wound up that he literally kept jumping up on this platform rather than run up the ramp. At least he was a little calmer when we got home.
I went to a couple events at the clubhouse this week. The first was a Roadmap to Aging talk titled, Aging with Joy. Mostly, they encouraged eating healthy, exercising, and not sitting around in a recliner for too long. That doesn't necessarily sound joyful to me.
The second was the annual spring fashion show. Like usual, the clothes were nothing I'd ever wear, but the lunch was nice. And it's always fun to catch up with other ladies from the neighborhood.
