This Ride Had It All

Posted on June 23, 2019 by

I hadn’t done a Sunday ride with the Newmarket Eagles in quite a while–certainly not this year. When I first started with them, I always did the Sunday ride.  Somewhere along the way, I switched to the Saturday ride and … Continue reading →

Adding a Book to the Collection

Posted on June 19, 2019 by

I don’t buy a lot of books for myself. I tend to take advantage of the free library that my town has, as well as the fact that getting loans from other libraries is always possible.  In addition to that, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 18, 2019 by
