A friend I haven't seen in a while - Nice surprise!




As for this weekend, it's been a little busy as well.
Friday night we celebrated my neice's birthday(not the one who got married, the other one :-). She's 21 today.

Saturday morning was the usual event. Up early to do a 10mi run with my two running buddies Jay and Mike. Mike is always ready to run, and ALWAYS seems to have a "good run". His motto "Hills Are Our Friends". Jay and I wasn't having that great of a run, so Mike did all the encourgement and pulled us along. It was sooooo HUMID, but we got through it. Then off to Pilates!

Ron wanted to attend one of his "Corvette Club" gatherings Saturday evening, so we went out to dinner with the club. Some of the things they do are pretty cheezy, but Ron likes to get with them and talk "cars", so I went along to support him.

Afterwards we decided to stop by our nearby community shopping area to listen to some outdoor live Jazz/Blues. It's a shopping center and a gathering spot for shopping and dining.
Ron said a lady singing Jazz/Blues was scheduled to be there and he knew I love jazz.
We sit down and to my surprise the singer was a friend of mine (Kim) that I haven't seen in a year or so!! (She has a band and sings Jazz/Blues in the Charlotte area.)
The last time I saw her we were in Georgia running the half marathon. Well, all except Mike, who ran the full marathon! The only reason we ran together was because she was pregnant! She is faster than me of course. Her baby is 8 months old and she's training for NY marathon this fall.
It was so nice seeing her and catching up with her. She'll be back to our area in September, and Ron and I will go back to listen to her band again. We arrived so late last night that we only caught 4-5 songs of the band before they quit for the night.

Today, (Sunday) We spent some quite time on the deck this morning drinking coffee and watching the humming birds. We'll spend lunch with Ron's mom and dad, catch up on some household things, then off to our Sunday afternoon cycling ride with the "Bee Team"! It'll be a slow recovery ride today!!!
