Hanson Larson Park, Rapid City, SD
Did you sign up for 30 days of biking? It’s in April and the event started a couple days ago. I feel a little guilty because I rode on the first (Bulldog) then I didn’t ride on the 2nd. I was planning to but got busy with work and activities after and I never had the chance to hop on the bike. I fell asleep and woke up the next morning mad at my missed opportunity. So, what I’m going to do is ride my bike for 30 days starting yesterday… or I’ll go for an extra day at the end of April. Something anyway.
Today I brought my bike with me and rode M-hill in the middle of town. There was a rather large fire about a month ago that burned a lot of the grassland on the East side. The sun climb was affected as well as a few others. The fire was almost a blessing though. Green grass is poking through the burnt stuff and it looks fantastic.
My ride was just under an hour and I traveled around 5.5 miles or so. I went up then down, then up then down then up then down… I was trying to do as much climbing as I could. I can tell I’m getting stronger. The saying is true, it doesn’t get easier, you just get faster.

I made a bad decision today. A very, very bad decision.
I wanted to ride my bicycle this morning and I wanted to get up early and go to the gym. Neither of those happened and it’s completely because of my laziness. I couldn’t drag myself out of bed nor did I want to. Now I’m sitting at work wishing I would have ridden my bike. I would feel fresher, better and mostly happy.
Next time I have to stop being lazy.

We had stopped at that car wash by Don’s supermarket to wash the car (Grandma and Papa)….follows, doesn’t it?? We did not get the dry option, but just drove on out. Oli, sitting in the front seat says, “now we have to dry” so I explained to him that we didn’t dry because it costs extra money to have it dried. He says, “My dad has LOTS of money!!” Joci says, “My Mom has MORE money than your dad has!” Oli, “MY DAD HAS $40!!” Joci, “MY MOM HAS $46!!”

So I “lost” my wallet the other day. I asked the kids if they had seen it and of course the response was no. I called around to the few places I visited the day prior to no avail. Then came calling the bank to cancel my check card and also to try and decide what I should do about my I.D. In one last attempt of locating the missing piece I asked Angie to check in the couch where I had been laying reading a book. This is what took place -
After I (Angie) ripped the couch apart Oli says, “what are you doing?” I explained to him that I was still looking for your wallet and pleaded, again, “do you remember what it looks like, Oli? Did you see it this morning? Dad’s really worried about it.”
All matter of fact like, he says “Oh!” “Come here.” “It’s just right here under this blanket, Mom” – under our comforter on our bed.
“WHY DIDN’T YOU SHOW US THIS SOONER?????” “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME YOU TOOK IT???”
“I don’t know.” “Jonah did it.” …………. “can I have another orange?”

After he and Jonah had been playing in their bedroom for a while, he comes out and I ask “What are you doing in there?”
Oli: “We were just watching my dresser.”
Me: “Why were you watching your dresser?”
Oli: “Ummmmm, I was just thinking about what if there’s a big bug. Like huge. Like forty miles. Maybe a bee.”
Me: “hmmm”
Oli: “yep”

Oli said he is going to be bigger than mom by 40 miles all the way up to the ceiling. He also said he loves us 3 hours.
