Feliz Cinco De Mayo everyone! Enjoy some great Mexican food for the occasion! Our friends invited our family over to their house last night for a great Mexican spread! Gotta love Mexican food once in a while! This morning the wind was still there, but the temps were very tolerable! I trusted Tom's instinct to wear shorts and was very glad I did! Shorts and a long sleeve mesh shirt was just right! We did the backwards river bottoms loop to end up with about 4.3. This time I went out for a few more while he came home. That would make me feel cool if it weren't for the fact he will be doing more and harder a little later at work! As I started out this morning my legs were needing a little more coaxing than usual, but the last few miles felt great! Today is the funeral of a very dear neighbor. John McDonald of Old McDonald's Farm passed away a few days ago. He was 92. He and his cute wife, (age 90), celebrated 70 years of marriage in January. Last summer I was talking to him one day as he was watching his flowers grow. He said to me..."Ya know, I just want to live until January so Lillian and I can celebrate our 70th anniversary together. After that, I'm ready to go." They are such a sweet couple with so much love for everyone! They have a beautiful marriage and love for each other. They are truly an example to all who know them! I can't imagine all of the things they have gone through in almost a whole century of living! And almost 3/4 of a century together as husband and wife! He really did have a farm as a living and it was called Old McDonald's Farm. Thank you Old McDonald for a wonderful example to follow! We will miss you!
