I'll start with the big news. My DD31 and her boyfriend of a year are engaged. This happened Sunday, and the wedding plans are in full force. But the biggest news is that they'll be getting married next month!!!!! It will be a small, simple ceremony with only witnesses and parents, followed by a dinner to include siblings - a total of about 15 all together.

No, she's not pregnant. LOL

Crazy Busy Year Winding Down

I'm checking in as my year is winding down.

Last week was my big biking trip on the Great Alleghany Passage. I went with 2 friends and returned with a bunch more! Our ride was supported. We were shuttled to one end and dropped off while the tour company carried our camping gear to the first destination. The tour company also provided breakfast, snacks for the ride and dinner every day. The tour had about 16 participants.

Au revoir!

Today is the long awaited day! This evening, I'll be on my way to Provence via Iceland, Paris, and Avignon. Planes, trains and buses.

My two good friends will arrive today and I'll catch up with them tomorrow. We'll spend 4 days walking trails around Provence, then next Friday, my one friend and I will head to the Atlantic Coast of France going back through Paris, to spend a week in her cottage.

I'll be renting a bike and getting in my miles exploring the flat coastal area during my 2nd week. *squee*

I've been laying pretty low on the posting front because I had a sense that my ex might know about this page - not sure. But, about 6 weeks ago, I noticed he did something strange that caused me to batten down the hatches here, on Facebook, in my cycling app and on reddit.

Camping weekend was fantastic. Got all of my gear out and I know I packed way too much. The weather was SO cool in the mountains. I had packed a battery operated fan - never needed it.

This group of women I camped with is part of a nation-wide hiking organization for women who are curvy and not into hiking far or fast. Not quite slugs or sloths, but women who take their time and no one is left behind.

Met up with the local college football coach for dinner and drinks, last night. As I said in my last post, he is one month older than my DS33. I am 23 years his senior.

I tried to dismiss the notion that he was interested in more than a friendship, but he confirmed last night.......he was interested in more. Oh dear Lord.

When it rains, it pours....

I've got Mr. Allergic to cats, but perfect for me on paper, asking me to concerts - as a friend.

I've got Mr. Cutie-pie, separated, 9 years younger with 2 minor kids going to dinner with me next week - as a friend.

And to top it all off, tomorrow night I have a "date" with a local college football coach I met a few weeks ago after a bike ride. And I am SURE he's 20 years younger than me. Dafuq?
