Countdown to Triathlon – 173 Days, 24.71 weeks to Race Day (No installment today.)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY -
Someone, and we won't say who, said: "I'm not a crook!"
Well I didn't mean to fib,either.  Honest!  I did intend to post for this morning like I said i would.

We had a really busy weekend.  We celebrated my mother's 88th birthday and the family took her out to dinner.



My mom and I







Then, on Sunday one of our daughter's gave our youngest daughter a baby shower.  The theme was Hawaii.  Here are a few photos.





There were diapers inside the centerpieces.








The cake



Laurel, due in April - it will be a boy.













We had hula and Tahiti dancers







We had Hawaiian food.














Laurel and our 17 year old Granddaughter, Taylor who flew in from southern California.



Opening gifts










One of the gifts I put together for the baby's room.  The photos are the ultrasound pictures.  The invitation is at the top right.







So this morning when I should have been posting the blog, I was taking back rental stuff, extra food to the Salvation Army and putting things away.  Then, this after noon I drove my Mom home to Sacramento and Granddaughter Taylor to the airport to fly home.

The Journey - Installment Sixty-Six - tomorrow.  I'm worn out today and just can't do it today!
