Confirmation of a job well done!
Moms are awesome - I realise that although raising kids can be a thankless job at times... there are moments that make it all worthwhile 🙂
This is college graduation weekend for older daughter Abby. Amy and I are very proud of how she has grown into a self sufficient, hard working young women.
It's not a surprise to me. Abby had a fantastic role model growing up.
While watching this very confident graduate receiving her diploma, I couldn't help but think; I'll bet Amy's parents watched a near replica of this and felt exactly the same way as I do now. There's no mistaking Abby and Amy as anything other than mother / daughter.
Abby and her housemates hosted a big after-party at their favorite tavern. The place was packed and I must of heard 50 times - YOU MUST BE AMY, ABBY'S MOM!
Amy and I will be heading out on the "Bus" (our Trek Tandem) later today after it warms up. My plan for the ride has me doing more than my share of the work - but I'm not sure Amy will be soft pedaling for very long. When there's work to be done, Amy has the tendency to step up and hammer whenever and wherever she's needed. And I appreciate that.

Thanks John. It was a fun weekend. She will be off and running soon. She’s had good examples of working hard!
Congrats you two.
Congrats, guys.
Actually, I had 2 Mother’s Days….the official on Sunday, then daughter’s 32 b-day on May 14th. Coming up on the 20th will be an almost Mother’s Day as it was the day we came home from the hospital (back then, in England “elderly” first time Moms usually had a 6 day hospital stay)
It was an extra special day because it was our 3rd wedding anniversary. Yep, coming up to 35 years with the same bloke……and I’d do it all over again!

Still can’t talk him into getting a tandem though!!
Congratulations Viv!!!!!!! Just go buy the tandem. Start riding it with some other captain and I bet he will get interested really fast 🙂
Would that same thinking apply to a lonely tandem Captain?
This is a nice idea in theory Amy……but with a couple of problem. He wouldn’t take me seriously and he wouldn’t take me seriously.
I fell off my bike last week and banged my face up pretty bad. I thought I’d get into less trouble if I told him my Toy Boy lover beat me up. He laughed and gave me a REALLY hard time about riding without him. I’ve been banned from solo riding
Oh no Viv…I hope you are recovering well…and no more falls okay.
No, John, it does not apply to lonely captains. You have your own brand new bike. Stay away from cute other stokers while I am away attending to family business!
