It is a fairly rare occurrence when Jeanine comes to me requesting that I take a photo of her. That was the case after she returned this morning from a 13 mile bike ride during which she had to repair her jammed derailleur. She was extremely proud of her greasy hands as was I of her newly developing bike repair aptitude. While she was riding, I was playing soccer and spent more time on the field than my current conditioning justified. Despite having a short bench, we managed a decisive 4-0 win over Wayland.

On the advice of our local weather forecasters, we decided to spend the afternoon at Plum Island for what was predicted to be the last “beach day” of the season.

It was a very relaxing afternoon as we absorbed the sunshine and the smells and sounds of the ocean.
