I am writing this on Monday, 4/21. There are several pics.

Taeo & Ryn

The big news this week was Easter. Ryn and Taeo came east. They visited with Jul for a day, then drove up to our place, arriving about dinner time Saturday. Mark joined us for dinner. Sunday, we went up to Ed & Lynne’s for the family dinner and Easter egg hunt. Monday Ryn and Taeo cooked breakfast. We went out to see the Grand Budapest Hotel (nice movie, but kind of quirky). They headed back after lunch. There was lots of very good and very special food. Everybody had a good time. The pictures are all from the Easter Egg hunt.

Pete & Rebecca

We had lots of other news this week. We got approval for the deck project Thursday. The contractor says he will probably start May 14th.

I also reserved a cabin at Taughannock Falls State Park on Cayuga Lake for a week (May 14-21). This is in the Finger Lake area of New York, about 15 miles north of Ithaca. I’m going up alone. I’ll drive up with my bike and ride around the area. I plan to see plenty of water falls and ride around all the lakes. Cayuga Lake is the largest. It’s about 100 miles to ride around it. That’s more than I want to do in one day. One morning, I’ll drive the car half way around and ride back to my cabin. The next day, I’ll ride from my cabin back to the car. I’m still working out the details of the trip, but I have routes plotted around each lake, and I have an overnight parking spot approved by the local authorities.

All this bike riding means I have to be in shape. Towards that end, I did my first 100 KM (62 mile) ride last weekend. I was a little tired, but the ride went well. I would like to do a lot more riding in the next weeks, but I’m going to have to restrain myself somewhat because Habitat for Humanity approved the networking project. My task of the moment is to update all the ReStore computers to run Windows “Pro”. There are 14 computers, and most of them need some kind of update. The first store is done. I’ll be doing the biggest store this week.

That’s a lot of news for this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
