Marlene Goldman 1933 - 2013 RIP

Very sad news to report. Ross's mother passed away on Christmas Day 2013. She died in her bed at her home. It came as a total shock as she hadn't been sick. She was, in fact, out shopping the night before. Karen, Ross's sister Lee and Ross drove to Detroit and had her funeral there so she could be buried next to her husband, Ross and Lee's father. The weather was absolutely miserable making a sad time even more trying.

We're late in posting this because the last few weeks have been totally consumed with starting the process of settling her estate. There was a tremendous amount of work to do. Things have only settled down in the last couple of days. That's the main reason we're in Tucson this weekend. We simply needed to get away for a short time.

Tucson

We're in Tucson for the weekend and went on a group bike ride today. It was hosted by MetroGnome Music & Cycle To Go. They're the new Brompton dealer in Tucson. There were maybe 8 or 9 Bromptons and a couple of "regular" bikes. The destination was a food truck roundup. After getting food everyone ate together on the top of a small hill in the nearby park. We met several new people and had a really good time!

Brompton

I got a new Brompton so Karen got my old one as a replacement for her Dahon Mariner which we're going to sell. Nothing wrong with a hand-me-down Brompton!
