Bike Rides

I love bike rides.

We usually go quite often to the farm market that is on a dead end street off of our road.  

It's called Boughton Road.

I think all the people who live on that road are Boughtons or are related somehow.

I love it!

But, last year, I  was ginormous.

Then, I had that little incident of death knocking on my door.

So I wasn't able to ride my bike at all.

Booohooo!

But yesterday when Isaac said "Mom can't ride her bike."

I took that as a personal challenge to get on my beautiful old blue Schwinn given me by my wonderful Father in law years ago.  He also got me one of those huge cushiony seats!  I love it!

One time when he was visiting for 2 weeks, we all went on a bike ride to the Boughton Farm Market.  

It's in their barn, lest you think it is a high class establishment.

My Father in law got to talking to the lady who owns it.

Well, Justus took off with the kids but I decided to wait for Dad. 

So, there I was on my bike.

He finished up and said goodbye to Mrs. Boughton.

And started walking down the drive 

WALKING

WITHOUT HIS BIKE.

Hahahaha!  I laughed so hard.

So did he.  

Then he sheepishly turned around with a smirk on his face and got his bike.  

Every time I go there, I remember my beloved Father in law laughing at his own mistake. 

I miss him.

Anyway, so today when we woke up, I said 

C'mon boys, lets go for a bike ride!

Hopefully this new-found "exercise" business will cause much needed weight loss.

We'll see.

I do so love my bike.

Happy Summer in March!
