Life is like a camera
Focus on what is important
Capture the good times
Develop the negatives
and if things don't work out.....
Just take another shot.

Today was a 52 mile ride from Clear Lake to Charles City. When I arrived, Tristan & Sierra had already picked out the dinner location. We went early so we didn't have to stand too long in the line. We had lasagna, coleslaw, veggies, and dessert. We were back at our tents by 5:00 and took a 2 hour nap. Later when Sierra and I decided to go downtown to the coffee shop, Tristan did not want to wake up!
After the 79 mile ride from Storm Lake to Algona, a beef & noodle dinner at the Knights of Columbus was agreed upon by all. I think all of us had 2 helpings along with bread, coleslaw, and ice cream. Sierra actually rode the Karras loop for her first century ride and Tristan rode 10 extra miles through the campgrounds!
This tornado started about a mile from our house, proceeded into Indianola and damaged about 6 homes on the west side of town. I was busy packing for RAGBRAI and didn't even know what was going on until Becky and Julie called to see if we were OK. Sierra also arrived from Indiana right about that time but she came in from the north.
Rich had the day off today and spent it working on the deck. The heat index today was about 110 degrees and he was completely soaked. He called and asked me to stop and get him his favorite double choclaty chip frappuccino from Starbucks. Chase and Charlie know that he will let them clean the cup when he is done.
So, Sierra and I headed to the grocery store after BMX practice and we found this duck on the sidewalk of the strip mall begging outside a chinese restaurant. After we left, I thought that outside a chinese restaurant probably is not a great place for a little duck to hang out! We did our shopping, came back out and someone had given her a fortune cookie to eat.
Here's a pic of the Ladies Cruiser class at the BMX race this weekend. What was really cool about this weekend was that there were 2 motos of us. Tammi, Michelle, and I raced each other in our moto and right after us raced our daughters: Tammi's daughter Krystal, Michelle's daughter Samantha, and my daughters Kristin and Sierra. From left to right is: Tammi, Michelle, Angie, Krystal, Kristin, Mandy, and Virginia.
