    We will go to the Farmer's Market, then re-plant our garden.

    We moved to the mountains in Arizona to live in clean air and have wild life around us. We have Elk in our front yard, and last night we had Javelina (Wild Pecory) in our back yard. The dogs were stir crazy this morning at 4am. We let them out and did our own bathroom break. My wife shouts out, "The dogs are gone!" We both put on sweats and her dog is on our back hill barking and running back and forth. There is a hole in the fence on the south side. I open up the hole and call for her dog. He comes to me looking relieved. (A pekingese mix) A couple of seconds later my dog (Beagle mix in my Picture) comes running from the neighbor's property full bore through the bushes and through the hole. All I see is a big cloud of dust following her and lots of snorting. I drop the fence, drop my light, and grab a Pitch fork. The snorting is loud and clear in the bushes. We never saw the Javelina, just heard several of them. Our two dogs behind me barking a storm. My wife and I are laughing pretty hard now.

    Our garden is 1/2 devastated. We will re-plant and laugh about it tomorrow. I fixed the fence a few minutes a go. We have Green Beans, tomatoes, artichokes, cucumbers, and zucchini to replace. A friend from California asked if we were mad. I told them we moved to the mountains and away from the city to see nature. We got to see nature. The Elk cleared our plum trees of plums last week. It was neat seeing them less then 3 meters from our front door.

    Tour de France starts Saturday morning! Woo Hoo The strategy involved in cycling is amazing. The stages are so long because the real race does not start until the riders have ridden about 4 hours at 25 mph. Imagine exercising 4 hours hard, and then starting an all out sprint for the last 10-20 minutes. Then one has to do that every day for the next 21 days. These are the best athletes in the world.

    Best Always, mike

    PS We will go to the State Park (about 200 meters from our back yard) and walk for 5-6 miles. We really are loving the Mountains!

    I love Le Tour! unfortunately this year we don't have
    Alberto Contador! ( use to be the favorite last 5 years ,but now sanctioned for EPO). At least we have The football team tomorrow in the final!
    Hugs! ( notice that if I feel well I will try to go to see one or two stages in the Pyrenees, 80 miles from home!)
    Hugs!

    Dear Pepe and all
    I was expecting another quite weekend and it has ended up being much less than that!

    We had a terrible storm come thru last night...lots of wind and rain and lightning.

    In the light of day it seems the storm tore off some of the roof shingles from several homes on my street, including mine. Part of the day was spent cleaning up around the area.

    While I will have to get someone in to do repairs, there are so many others who were less fortunate...trees falling on homes and cars...some causing fatalities. So I will count my blessings for so small a problem as a few shingles.

    The worst part of the day was that the cable TV and internet were out for about 12 hours! I didn't realize how much I depended on them until they were not available. Oh well, I did get some reading in so not a total downer...lol.

    Hugs to all and enjoy every day!

    Hey!

    My parents came down to visit us this weekend, so we did a lot of eating out and going around to local spots.

    Tomorrow will be church and, unfortunately, a memorial service in the afternoon. This is for a friend who passed away from cancer.

    Tomorrow evening I'm going to my daughter's church to take part in a group that makes and exchanges Christmas ornaments. I know. It's hot as blue blazes, and I'm starting a Christmas project. *L*

    *hugs*

    My nephew got married yesterday, so we had the reception to go to. That's about all the excitement that I was able to manage this weekend. The rest of the time has been spent trying to sleep (only managed about 4 hours last night.)

    Thanks for these weekly posts, Pepe. They're such an affirmation that we have so much more in our lives and helps to appreciate how important little things can be.

    Friday!
    A little bit of work today, and a lot of relaxing and enjoying my family this weekend at the Michigan cottage. Plan to teach a few more kids how to waterski, clean a bit, cook a bit and break bread with family and friends.

    My 24th chemo treatment begins on Tuesday with the pump on for the 4th and 5th.
    then, my surgery for the colostomy take down and removal of the main tumor (dead tissue) from my transves colon. Remove that tumor that caused all this chaos in the first place... is set for July 26th.

    Have CT scan the week of the 9th and meetings with doctors the next week to prepare for the surgery and for what to expect ahead.

    My mind is spinning.

    hugs to everyone on a glorious weekend.

    Joe

    TOUR
    When in my 30s & 40s did a lot of bike riding. When I retired and moved to Tucson entered the senior olympic bike race for ages 65-70. Averaged 18 mph for 20K and came in 5th. In the spring the racers train by going on 150 mile rides 3 or 4 days a week. Back in Illinois
    the serious racers could go 25 mph average, The younger one (17-21) averaged 20 mph. The rest of us tended to manage 15 mph. Watch their knees they go up and down like pistons. If ever at a velodrome,{banked track for bicycles)watch team pursuit. They start at opposite sides of the track and try to catch the opposing team. The team member in front goes as hard as he can and then climbs the slope to let his team go by and joins at the back. Lot of fun to watch. Enjoy it all. Only occasional javalina in Tucson area. LOL
