Did I miss anything?

I think I've found a way to share photos and stories.  Let's try this.  You should be able to copy and paste to your photo albums when you want a photo.   

And so the planning begins for the Fabulous 51 set for August 26.  The plan is for 10 miles of kayaking, 19 miles of hiking and 22 miles of biking - with expectations to finish in about 12 hours.  That should pretty much make toast out of all of us.  The players:  Linda Thompson, the senior member, Katrina Rieger, the person for whom received this event for her birthday gift in 2011 as the Fabulous 50.  After breaking 2 ribs on a training day, the event had to be postponed and rescheduled to this year with an additional mile for that additional year, Jan Miller, the energizer bunny, Lorraine Turner, our only member balancing us, a professional career, marriage and 2 busy twin 11 year olds and  Francesca Stone, our ultramarathoner who keeps us pushing or pushing us.
