San Xavier Mission, Fry Bread & a New Bike

One of my favorite places to visit in Tucson is the San Xavier Mission.  This year we've taken a tour of the mission; in fact Dad has taken the tour twice and said they were very different and very informative.

 

Dad's classmate, Russ Borchers and his wife Jean, from Beaver Creek stop to see us every winter when they come for the car races in the area.  This year they were able to stay a couple of days since Jean retired this last year.  Always good to reminise about the "olden days" and get caught up on our families.

 

 I have heard it said that one of the things you must do before you die is have Indian Fry Bread at the San Xavier Mission in Tucson, AZ so we thought we should probably do that.  We had a bean and meat plus all the fixings and it was delicious.  It was so large that we could share it and it was sufficient.

 

Russ and Jean tried the honey fry bread and said it was good also but a little sweet.

 

Look what Dad bought.................   He spent a couple of days researching bikes on the internet and then spent another couple of days going to the bike shops here in Tucson.  This was his final choice and what was really good is that it plus all the accessories were 15% off.  Good choice!!!!!

 

 

Dad even bought himself a helmet and I bought him some riding gloves for his birthday.  He rode it 10 miles the first day and 20 miles yesterday and is out with it again today.  I am so proud of him and he loves his new bike.  Too bad he plans to leave it here in Tucson.  Maybe I can convince him to get a new one in South Dakota or at least take the old one in and have it "conditioned".  I wish I enjoyed riding as much as he does.  The lady at the bike shop told me to try riding a half hour a day for a while and she is convinced I will enjoy it after a time.

 

 

The forecast for Sunday is 91 degrees - guess I'll stay in and turn my air conditioner on and read the day away.

 

Love you all bunches and bunches!!!
