Countdown to Triathlon – 186 Days, 26.42 weeks to Race Day (See Installment 59 of "The Journey", 220 mile bike ride, below)

We had a Valentine's Party on Saturday with some friends that Bob graduated with from high school in 1960 - All "Oldies but Goodies"



Living Room Mantle

We set up for wine tasting in the living room.



My manzanita tree which I decorate for every holiday.


We had to move all our furniture out of the family room to seat 23 people.

I kept talking to the Amaryllis and telling it that it had to hold on until after the party.
Two days later it expired.



The Journey - Installment Fifty-Nine

I left the house yesterday an hour earlier than I usually leave for Bible Study in Hughson, the town where we lived when I was preparing for and riding in the bike ride.  Since the day before when I was describing the steep road which I careened down at 36 miles per hour, I decided to drive out there and see it again for myself. I took some photos and will post them tonight for tomorrow's blog and continuation of THE JOURNEY.
