Sunday, 1 hour bike ride and Grandma's headstone ceremony

Sunday marked one year since my Grandma Gussie died and we all got together to dedicate her headstone. Kate flew in from Brooklyn for the day and we all met at the cemetery in Arlington Heights.

I was happily surprised that Rabbi Heather Altman from Anshe Emet presided over the ceremony and she was lovely for a mostly lay crowd. I really like her.

Then we all went to lunch- on grandma- and enjoyed each other. It was a really fun lunch!

Afterwards, Kate and I dropped MB at home and she and I went to my gym for my workout. She walked on the treadmill and I did my bike workout. It's hard to keep my heart rate up both on my trainer and on the stationary bike. I really do prefer the compu-trainer. I was supposed to also make up a swim, but I skipped it because we just didn't have time + there was a kids group swimming and I wasn't about to try and swim around 30 8-year-olds!

After our workout, Kate and I went to a fancy dinner at Acadia via a trip to Little Goat and saying hello to cousin Gina.
