Stuffed portabella's with green onions, cheese, garlic and soy sauce, salmon and corn on the cob.
Putting dry wall around the door and painting the whole house. We are almost ready to relax. Our goal is by 1 Aug to be riding our bikes again.
I feel like I just finished a 5 day stage race and havn't even been on my bike. Kevin and I started last Sunday putting in a new back door and laying 18 inch travertine tile. This was our first at both. We asked alot of questions and crossed our fingers it would turn out. And we are totally happy with both. When we first started it was a disaster and then we got into a groove. The labor is intense, I am so sore, I don't even want to ride my bike. This morning our goal was to get up early and ride and then watch the tour de france and we slept past both we were so rocked. Last step of sealer tomorrow and then we can get back to somewhat of a normal life. Final pics to come.
Kevin had his crack showing almost the whole time, he is a true handy man.
What a blast we had today riding bug springs. Both Melanie or Molly had not rode the trail so I was so happy to show them. Mel is one of the few mountain bikers on our team and she is awesome, so I am so excited to start doing more rides together. Molly and I only hook up to ride in a blue moon when our schedules match up and I always look forward to it. We had so much fun, you can tell by the big smiles. Now I have to get busy painting, there is always something to do around here.
Kevin and I rode out at Starr Pass this morning, and then I decided to do an evening hike out at Ventana Canyon. It has been raining almost every evening from the Monsoon storms, I love it. It is such a relief by the end of the day and all the cacti are fat and happy. 
The lizard was wondering if I saw him.
We put a new humming bird feeder up at our new house. Even in a monsoon storm they love organic sugar. I tried honey at first because we did not have any sugar, no luck!
4th of July weekend went fast, but we enjoyed it while it lasted. We rode, fished, watched the fireworks over the lake and best of all relaxed. But back to work today, we are almost done with our kitchen, we ran some new outlets to the wall today and prepped to run outlets to the kitchen island. I have learned so much about electricity since I ripped that wall out and did not know what to do with all the wires. Now I want to put an outlet and a switch on every square foot of the house. The 4th of July was a mid year resolution for me, no more beer and chips for a while, so the last few days I have been cooking good food on the grill again, steak and corn on the cob, and today was grilled chicken ceasar salad with stuffed grilled portabella mushrooms.
