We have an update on Ruthie’s Olympic training. She has shown great success in the preliminary trials, and her support team couldn’t be happier.

She is now working on nailing Goal #2…if you know what I mean.

Yesterday before leaving for work, Jim asked Ruth what she would like as a reward for accomplishing Goal #2. With barely a hesitation, she declared that she wanted to go to Home Depot and sit on the tractors. Jim sealed the deal with a promise to a trip to the Depot if she accomplished the goal.

Well, not long after that, she did it.

So after work, we were off.

We ended up going to Farm and Fleet, where there are more tractors to choose from. And car carts.

Olympic memories being made right here in Aurora, IL.
