Mohawk Hudson Half Marathon

WARNING:  Serious bragging ahead
Mark & Dani both ran in a half marathon today....their first one.  For those of you who don't know how far that is .......it's 13 miles!  It started in the Colonie Town park (I have more pictures of the park for another post)
The Cat's Eye Pest mascot was there.
LiLi wanted no part of doing a "hi five"
However Miss Molly considered it for a few seconds!
Here they are starting along with about 800 other runners.

We managed to see Mark at about the 7 mile mark but had missed Dani as she ran faster than we had calculated.

Here's Dani about 75 yards from the finish line.
Now Mark at the same place
What a beautiful place for the finish.....the Corning Preserve in Albany.  Also an absolutely perfect fall day!

  1. I am in awe. Congratulations to the both of them. WOW I thought they invented cars so that no one ever had to run that far.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yowsa!

 I was woken up around 3:30am yesterday by thunder as a line of severe storms were rolling through the area.  My alarm goes off at 4:00am so I figured I'd just get up.  I was standing in the kitchen waiting for the coffee pot when there was a blinding explosion in the back yard along with a huge clap of thunder.  It was like someone threw a bomb in the yard....needless to say it scared the crap out of me & I was waiting for a tree to fall.  We didn't see anything & I left the house at 7:00am while it was still raining.  Popster didn't see this until last night but it had struck this big oak that is about 15 feet from our sun room.  It just stripped that piece of bark right off the tree  Makes the expression "Don't mess with Mother Nature" become very real!

Forever Family Day

Oh my.....where does the time go!  Ten years ago this scared & tiny little girl was brought into a room full of strangers. She was so confused by the strange faces. Now look at the beautful, confident girl she has grown into. We love you LiLi💖 Love
