Many Things to Celebrate - Sun., May 12

Happy Mother's Day. Happy 23rd anniversary to us. Happy birthday to Aaron and Iain. Many celebrations today.

Bob and I went our separate ways this morning. He ran 10 miles on the Riverwalk, and I hiked five miles at Government Canyon Natural Area with Hill Country Hikers. Both of us enjoyed our respective forms of exercise.

The hiking group started at 8:00 a.m. and we did five miles in two hours. Quite a few new hikers joined in today. I think we had about 15 people. Today's hike was a walk in the park - mostly level, easy trails with just a few rock and root trippers.

Another 2.5 mile hike was next on a different trail in the park. We could opt out of the shorter hike and three of us did. After 8.8 miles yesterday, I felt five miles was enough for today. My feet thanked me profusely for not adding blisters.

I went back to the 5er (5th wheel trailer). Bob had not returned from his run. I started making our anniversary brunch thinking he'd return at any time. He came in the door with just enough time to shower before brunch was ready. I made scrambled eggs with sauteed mushrooms and avocado, heated refried beans, and cut up strawberries.

We relaxed for the rest of the day and had Papa John's Pizza for dinner while we watched the Survivor finale. I was very happy Cochran won.

I hope all the moms had a great Mother's Day celebration.
