Cruisin'

Mike and I FINALLY got bikes.

This is mine, a Diamondback Serene:

Mike put a basket on the front of it for me so that we can pick up milk on a ride if we want to and so that Lily can come with us every so often.

This is Mike's (the Lamborghini Urbano):

Mike put a pedometer thing on his so we know how fast "we" are going, how far we've ridden, etc.

If the bikes and mentioned accessories don't give you an idea of how we feel about biking, I don't know what does. At least we're having fun riding bikes together. :-)

A Perfect Day

You know those days where you're just at peace? Today was one of those days.

We slept in (if 7:30 is considered sleeping in), ate breakfast on the deck, Mike took care of mowing the yard and washing the cars and I cleaned the house with the windows open. We ran errands, we watched the Cardinals win and took a nap, had steak for dinner, went out for ice cream and then just relaxed.

It was simple, but it was great and exactly what I needed. (Thanks, God!)

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• my wonderful husband and family
• evenings at home
• no crazy Kansas wind blowing today
