No Bike Ride For Me

The church Hubby and I attend has something called "Interest Groups" and we just signed up for the Bicycling Group. Our first meeting was this past Sunday and our first ride was yesterday evening. I was so excited; I'm not very active, but Lou (the guy in charge) had assured me this ride would be fairly level and not real long. We were to meet at the church at 5:15pm to car pool to our ride beginning point at the base of the North Grand Island bridge. We would be riding to Niagara Falls and back. I woke up yesterday very excited at the prospect of riding. I spent the morning and early afternoon at my friend's house doing "crafty" stuff, and then it happened. I started to get a migraine. The end of the story? I didn't go on the bike ride, although Hubby did. He had a great time. They rode to the Falls, then out onto Goat Island, and all around the Falls before riding back to the cars. The next ride is supposed to be from the Erie Basin Marina up to the South Grand Island Bridge area, but I'm not sure when that will be scheduled. I guess I'll have to get biking so I'm ready for that one!

Today was my morning at the local elementary school. I have volunteered there one day a week since 1997, with the same 2nd grade teacher. Next week is the last Thursday of the school year for me. Over the years I have half-heartedly looked for jobs, but never really wanted to stop doing the school thing. Well, the teacher I help will be taking a new position as a reading specialist in September, so she won't be needing me anymore. At about the same time, I became aware of a part-time position opening up in September at Peace of the City Ministries. I applied, and will be starting then as a reading tutor. I have always wanted to do something meaningful in a Christian environment, and I think this will be a wonderful opportunity. My Hubby says, "Timing is everything." I say, "God is in control."
