Here’s a handful of gold medals for you, Sunshine! I know you richly deserve them … and more.

Mountains out of molehills biking! This would be a downside to the home based office.

With wide smiles…

*grin* One thing’s for sure! You’d probably beat every man into the ground who tried to compete with you! =)

Well, you certainly deserve a gold medal sweetie! I’m just keeping a good hold on the remote. 😉 Love,

You certainly deserve a Gold…. you do it and you manage to keep your sense of humour too. Go Wonder Woo!!! 🙂 I’m cheering for you! You could call the whole thing the 16hr/day upstream kayaking event.
