We spent the weekend doing some shopping and some construction.

I had my first engagement ring repaired. It's the ring Thom gave me when I was a junior in high school. I broke the band weight lifting probably 17 years ago and never got around to fixing it. It's one of those things that would have been really upsetting to lose. But now it's on my hand again.

While at the jewelry store I got two new pairs of earrings. One to replace the stolen ones and the other set...'cause I liked 'em.

We have three major household projects to do as a result of the burglaries. We made really good progress on one this weekend. Absolutely no riding...Maybe next weekend.

The weekend after next I have my first brevet. I've hardly ridden since we got back from Hawaii. But I did a hard 200K there, so the one here shouldn't be too bad. I just hope it warms up some.

Life goes on. Thanks for all the kind thoughts.
