We are now on internet with T-Mobile broadband home internet! I went to a local retailer on Monday and signed up, and I cancelled the Comcast service the next day. Internet speed checks say that our upload and download speeds are faster than they ever were on Comcast, so it's looking good. 

Softball had an unusual event this week...a win by more than 1 run. We beat the team 8-4, and led pretty much the whole way through. 

There was a 2nd Mile Adventures fundraiser this weekend, "Dunes Day" they call it. They do a 100-mile, a 63-mile, and a 33-mile ride, by going from Winona Lake to Indiana Dunes and back, or Winona Lake to the Dunes and driving back, or driving to Bremen and riding back to Winona Lake. I chose the latter. There was only one other guy doing that ride, and if we'd been thinking about it, we would have probably done the ride a different way. But, we left the van/trailer in Bremen for the others to pick up on their way back, and rode straight into the wind for pretty much the entire ride. By the time we were approaching Warsaw, we were both getting pretty tired of fighting the wind and it was only getting stronger. 

This week I have been gathering the materials to get the pool set up. I would really rather not do it, because it is such a long-term pain to get it up and keep it up and clean, but it does help Beth to be able to water walk and I know she will not go to the Y to do it. No matter how I try to prod her to. Anyway, today I got a tarp to put under it, I got the filter sand earlier in the week, and it is filling up now. Filling the pool requires leaving the hose on for about an entire day, after which it is freezing for several days, so maybe by Missy's birthday or so we can use it. It's supposed to be a hot summer, so we'll probably use it...
