A 10 out of 10 day!  Got up and did my version of a workout, had breakfast and then we decided it might be a great day for a bike ride.  I tested it out the other day and rode to Geoff’s house without too much difficulty and we have been talking about heading down to the path by the river and doing a ride  It is flat and you can just putz along.  We drove down and parked at Home Road and then rode the bikes all the way past the zoo and to Deerfoot Trail and back again.  My odometer said it was about 23 km.  We stopped at Licks for ice-cream and they had sugar free burgundy cherry.  (I am trying to stay away from sugar as I have read it is one of the worst things I can eat.  Cancer cells apparently thrive on sugar.)  We then rode around and through Point McKay checking out possibilities for Kelli and Mike.  They are moving to Calgary in the fall and need to find a place to rent.  A bit of a challenge as Mike will be working at the Peter Lougheed and the new South Calgary Hospital and Kelli will most likely be at more than one location possibly including the Foothills.  So they are looking for something with good access to roadways so they can get to where they want to be.  I think living down in the Parkdale, Point McKay, Inglewood areas would be ideal!  There are some nice spots down there with great access to the river paths and to Memorial Drive.   If any of you have a line on a place or know of something that fits this description we would really appreciate hearing from you!  Tomorrow is chemo day and then I am meeting the badminton Mom’s for dinner at Earls.  We haven’t had a get together in some time so it will be a great gab fest I’m sure.  We Mom’s spent many hours together at tournaments over the years cheering our kids on!

Here is your visual reminder for Wednesday morning!
Don’t forget your White Rabbits!  It’s hard to believe
that the first of August is fast approaching!  Summer
just seems to fly by!  Figures, as it is my favourite
time of the year!
