We went for a bike ride on Saturday. Lovely day for it, but a bit of a breeze, by which I mean a headwind in every direction. Also, she’s well on her way back to being fast again, just five weeks removed from leg surgery.
Which means it’ll be difficult to keep up with her in a week or two. Which means I’ll be in trouble in a month or so.
I must go faster. Somehow.
If it isn’t a fast ride, though, I just linger off the back and turn it into a scenic spin. There’s always some way to win.
We went to the softball game on Sunday afternoon. (At least it was breezy!) It was a good one to see.
Scoreless after seven, Indiana and Illinois went to extra innings in an excellent pitchers’ duel. IU had a chance to win in the 10th, but couldn’t score on a squeeze after finally advancing their first baserunner to third.
In the top of the 11th the Illini scored on two RBI singles to right, but IU was ready for their moment. Suddenly the bases were loaded and senior Brittany Ford drove one to the warning track in center.
Indiana won 3-2 in 11, avoiding the sweep at home and improving to 26-19. IU will wrap up the regular season at Nebraska next weekend.
Let’s check on the kitties, which remains our most popular weekly feature. They’re doing great, enjoying the actual sunshine we’re experiencing now, and yet still cuddling for warmth like we’re in the depths of winter. (I was even able to wear shorts this weekend, at the beginning of May.)
Phoebe likes walls … for some reason right now.
And if a wall isn’t available, there’s always a bit of furniture she can swim up to.
Isn’t she cute?
Poseidon likes the weekends because The Yankee makes a late breakfast and that gets the oven warm and he can take naps on this stovetop cover and enjoy the radiating heat.
That’s the routine.
