2011 An Extraordinary Mountain Bike Season

April 1st Meadow

This year has been a banner year for the mountain biking.  We generally start biking near the end of March to the first part of April and bike until October or November.  I do remember biking on December 8th once.  It was a short ride with 8 inches of slippery snow.

December 21st Mountain BikingToday, just 4 days til Christmas, the biking is still going strong.  There is suppose to be a storm coming tonight into tomorrow that may put an end to the mountain biking season, if not I may be biking right on through to the new year.

Brooke goes Shopping

Brooke has her first job and has been getting up at 6 am every morning. I wasn’t sure she knew how to work but she has been making me proud.

So when she proudly told me that 13 of the presents under the tree were from her, I thought it was an excellent chance to give her an atta-girl.  I said, “doesn’t it feel good to have a job and your own money?”.
She replied, “well you paid for ten of them.”
At least she paid for 3 of them, I think.

Dinner for 6

20111218-000545.jpg
Borup is not a common sir name like Smith or Johnson. Growing up in Utah valley, my Dad was the only Borup in the phone book. So tonight, when we showed up at PF Changs and found out that another Borup had taken our reservation, we weren’t too happy.

Turns out my cousin was meeting some friend for dinner at the same restaurant with a party of 6. He friend asked if they had a reservation for Borup and they said yes and sat them. When my cousin came in, he joined.

When we arrived, we dropped the women off curbside. After parking the car I went inside and found the women waiting. After waiting for a while with them I asked what happened to our reservation and they told me what happened. Beth pointed to the table that had taken the reservation and I immediately recognized Cory and Lynette. They were out celebrating Lynette’s birthday and we were celebrating Beth’s.

What were the chances of getting 2 different Borup parties of six going to the same restaurant at the same time?

After we finally got seated, we could laugh about it.
