Memorial Day Weekend

We traveled to Grants Pass for the long weekend in hopes of seeing Grandma before she passed away. We were a day too late but a lot of Steves family came with the same hope! So we got to spend the weekend with all the Penningtons! It was very fun to see our cousins again! We went to the annual Boatnik festivities and had lots of home made ice cream. We thought we would be there for the Funeral but they decided to bury Grandma this weekend in Arizona next to Grandpa and then have a memorial service on June 12th. Yes - if some of you have been keeping up on my blog that is the day of my Bike race. I was disappointed but like the quote says " life is what happens when you make other plans!" I will be happy to go and honor such a beautiful woman and valiant life lived. So we rode 70 miles today and after that I am now kinda glad I don't have to ride it again next weekend! HA
