Oh yorkie, he did very well for his first longgggg ride. He only missed one day. He rode 360 miles. He raised $2,399.02. The 2 cents are significant. It is there because the children at our annual camp meeting held a competition between the boys and the girls to see who could bring in the most change from piggy banks, parent's pockets, begging, etc. They raised $500 and 2 cents. I love seeing that 2 cents because those kids worked so hard and gave so much.

I need your mailing address so Roy can send you a thank you card. It was so sweet of you to help out. He really appreciates everyone who gave (and I love you). What he did was extremely hard. The weather was so hot. One day it was 105 degrees and he rode 87 miles. The other days were almost that hot. When he got home his feet and legs swelled, but I had him drink a lot of water to flush the toxin out of his body from all the stress he put on it and he's better today.

Great to read about Roy and his 360 mile ride. Glad you were able to address the dehydration he experienced. Make sure you tell him Thank You from all us FReepers.

Will be going to the Dr tomorrow to check on my spine issues and my Monday collapsing leg and the injuries I sustained. Sure wish I was a lot younger. Getting old seems to draw more injuries.

Guess I should be grateful that things were not alot worse. When I fell into the pool, I could see perfectly cuz I had my glasses on. My cell phone didn’t survive the accident however, my hearing aides and bluetooth managed to survive the ordeal.

I’m getting a signal from my cell phone but it appears there is still water in the cell phone. I’ve got it dehydrating in a bag of rice and I keep getting a message that I need to re-set my default options.
