Well, we're back from our ride with Rosie on her bike :~) Here she is at the trailhead :~)

And out on trail :~)

And Rosie waiting for us to get to the rest stop at the falls :~) She spent most of her time way ahead of us, waiting for us to get there. :~)

We did the 8 mile loop. LOTS of riders out today, we saw 3 big groups, one with 15 horses we had to find a spot to let pass, and a couple other groups on bikes.

Then Rosie carried the camera most of the way back :~)

Evening Hair and Rosie; great pics of the trail&bike ride. Having Rosie take the pics on the return was a good idea.

Rosie - excellent photo composition, well done. OB & LSA

Looks like it was a great day for a ride. We've had a couple of nice, cooler days here. I think today's high was about 83, and it's supposed to be cooler a couple of days next week, too.

We had another death in the family today. SirKit's oldest sister, Lea died in her sleep, apparently. At least she didn't suffer in any way. She lived in Richmond, and I'm not sure yet if the funeral is going to be there, or down in MS. We're waiting to hear from her son.

We hadn't seen her in a while. She had kinda been on the outs with the family for the last few years. This was the sister who had lost half her left leg in a motorcycle accident the year we married. You know how many families seem to have one member who is always at odds with everyone else? That was Lea, and it was tough dealing with her sometimes. In my family, there are two of them, and there's a minor storm brewing with that since our oldest brother died.

Ah, familes. Anyway, if y'all could please keep SirKit's family in your prayers, I'd appreciate it.

Nice pictures of the ride. Those woods look like there would be elves in them. Perfectly beautiful.
