Yes, I typed \u201csunny\u201d.  The sun has now peeked out 2 days in a row!  Unbelievable and much appreciated!  It is amazing what a little natural vitamin D does for the spirit.  <\/p>\n

I hope that everyone is safely enjoying their long Memorial Day weekend.  Don\u2019t forget to take this time to remember those that we have lost that have given their lives to serve our country and to thank those that are currently fighting for our country.  They are some of the most selfless people and we should never take that for granted.  <\/p>\n

This weekend has been about relaxation for us.  We had a long day on Friday, as we took a road trip to Cleveland for my Uncle Ken\u2019s funeral.  He passed away unexpectedly at the beginning of last week.  Uncle Ken served in the Vietnam war and having the military present and participating in his funeral service at the cemetery is something I will never forget.  You may have seen me mention Uncle Ken here in the past, as I used him as a true test to see if a gluten-free food or baked good passed \u201cthe\u201d test.  You see, he was a very picky eater and if Uncle Ken liked it, you knew it was good!  He will be sorely missed.  R.I.P. Uncle Ken.  <\/p>\n

And, while this isn\u2019t really \u201cgluten-free\u201d news, I am and it pertains to me\u2026.LOL!  My training for the 32nd Nationwide Columbus Half Marathon<\/a> has officially started!  YAY!  In fact, I need to get moving and hit that pool!  Time to get in some cross-training.  Swimming has been doing wonders for me lately and I am really glad that I took the time to work on it last summer<\/a>, grouchy as I was about it at the time.  \"Winking<\/p>\n
