This Was Her Seventh Day On the Road

This is Amy.....Bike man found her at the laundry mat trying to dry out her wet, soaked cycling clothes.  Amy has been traveling by bicycle from Michigan, en route to St. Paul.  She wanted to keep traveling farther west this afternoon, but couldn't pass up Bike man's offer to come and stay overnight at our house, especially since it had been raining all day today.  You know, we've done this before and believe me, it's always just a random thing.  Every couple of years it seems like we are a magnetic to someone traveling by bicycle.  One thing that makes a big difference is that WE know what it's like to be traveling by bicycle, and sometimes you just want a shower or bed to sleep in for one night......or maybe you just want to get out of the rain and dry off for one night.  I'm amazed at the timing of our house guest, especially since I just got back to work this afternoon from being with my mom and dad for three and a half days.

I treated our guest to vegetarian enchiladas (refried black beans, with sauteed onions, yellow peppers & green chilies) made with green chili enchilada sauce, and a fresh green salad.

Amy will take off tomorrow and head for St. Paul.  She'll be crossing into Minnesota via Stillwater.  She'll spend a little time with a couple that she knows, then will take the train out to Montana, where she will begin her summer job at Glacier National Park. 

It's been enjoyable to have her here at our house.
