Here we are at the Pedaling for Kicks bike ride: me, Dan, and Uncle Dennie. Dan is clearly distraught from all of the spandex-clad people he had to endure throughout the day (mother included).
Our prolific apricot tree resulted in preserves (by Tom) and enhanced cocktails.
Dan and I drove to CU/Boulder for freshmen and parent orientation. Dan had no use for Nebraska until he got to eastern Colorado and discovered there were exits that led to nowhere.
I mostly wept through orientation hoping no one would notice. Such a sap.
This is the view from the quad. Please.
After Colorado it was off to NY for my college reunion. I gave Noelle a ride to Niagara Falls area for a baby shower with her family. Tom was originally scheduled to go with us but had to stay home an extra day to cultivate beans. It was really fun to see her stomping grounds and spend some time with her family.
After collecting Tom at the Rochester airport we headed off through the Finger Lakes to Cortland stopping at a distillery and this winery along the way.
We noticed this request in the midst of wine country.
There were 6 Cortland grads plus Tom Terrific and Joe (who took the pic) from "the gang." We picked up visiting as if we'd just graduated yesterday. Reunions rock.
Tom and I went to Wegman's grocery to pick up picnic supplies for our mini family reunion in Hancock. I'm on the phone with my mom because according to her, you can't have a true Wegman's experience unless you call someone while you're there.

Dan stayed home from NY to paint our quanset shed and walk beans on the organic 80. He wasn't always impressed with the set up, especially for prepping and painting the top - a wobbly cart with a board atop 2 ladders with the usual IL wind.
