Saturaday Sept 10

Busy day today.
Friday it being the last day home I made Sushi for Dianne then prepped food for my parents, my sister and David. 
Then this morning I rushed though getting last minute things like some beer for the guests, snack food and some stuff for Dianne after I am gone.  Tried to scan all the maps of the route but the printer ran out 2/3 of the way though.  Then while trying to find the new toner package on the Inter-net the family arrived and ordering the toner was out of the question.  David and I started work on his bike mounting racks and packing bags and loading the car for the drive up.  Just at the time to leave for Andy's place for dinner we finished the last detail. 
We then rushed out for dinner loading the prepped foods from yesterdays and driving to Andy's.  Dinner turned out great Angle cooked Indian food and I added a the rice, a beef dish and grilled vegetables. 

Thankful for Today
My family is what I should be most thankful for.  They gave up a whole weekend to drive David down to start the ride.  It is great to have a family that wants to help me achieve all the crazy stuff I think of to do.  Donna had it exceptionally hard not as I am taking her husband for the next month or so, and she had to spend more than 20 hours in the car just help me out.  So here is great big thank you and I love you all Donna, Mom and Dad.  But special thanks to Donna who is giving me so much when we see each other so seldom, I love you all.
