In the morning, Corie and Sonya, 2 women out for a walk through the park stop by to chat and the next thing I know, I'm invited to Corie's house to use the wifi to see if I can get my iphone activated after the unlock. Great.
Warren, the center manager also stopped over to chat. Turns out he had seen me on the Scenic Drive last night and called one if his staff at the center telling them to let me camp there. How sweet is that?
So I pedaled back down the road to Corie's house. But it was down, down, down. And I must admit I thought about not going. This is crazy. I should just go to town. When I checked my map and realized I could cycle forward past Corie's house to get to town, I kept going. I thought I'd only be here for an hour or so. Then I was invited for the night. That would help because the phone was going to be another 24 hours before being unlocked. Then John, Corie's husband invited me to go with him on a bush hike on Sunday. Sure if you don't mind if I stay until Monday. No worries.
What a wonderful weekend off the bike. Luncheon with girlfriends, birthday dinner with 8 friends at a winery
, shopping at a garden center, planting the buys in the garden, the bush hike rebaiting poison stations
, and Sunday dinner with the the 2 gramma's, daughter Kim and her boyfriend Nick. A full yet relaxing weekend doing "normal" things and meeting wonderful friends.
Thank you, Sumiches for a delightful weekend of laughs and relaxation...and good eats!
