I told the Lord, I don't have a rhythmic bone in my body, but I can do this. . .swim, bike, and run, so receive my race as a celebration of praise and thanksgiving for healing me. I couldn't have done this a year ago. But by the gracious hand of God, I am myself again and at 38 years old just completed my first triathlon today. It was a very hot October day, much of the race in the sun, but He met me, and I had fun. I am glad I did it, although a bit wiped out at the moment.

Anna and Tim wearing the cap I had to wear.

This is Dr. Cabeca's calf. We had to have our age on our calf. She wouldn't like knowing I did this.

Hurray Sarah No More Training Wheels!!

It's that time of year again!

. . .When the Graustein's head off to the beach after dinner. The weather is still very warm and there are few people at the beach. It is a gorgeous time of year and time of day to be at the beach. Any Marylander tempted to jealousy should know how sad I was to buy apples in a plastic bag from the grocery store the other day. . . it is apple picking time at Butler's Orchard, oh, and don't forget about the pumpkin patches too. I will be picking up a pumpkin at Wal-mart, doesn't that sound romantic.













My brother is on an aircraft carrier out to sea. I just made him this t-shirt for this monkey and sent it too him. Please pray for his safety. He also just got extended at sea for two months, pray for the spirits of all five thousand men serving with him. . .thanks.
