Bike Transformation

Here is the bike after we painted it, put new hand grips with streamers, a new bell, and stickers ont it. Somehow, in my mid life crisis, we've created the bike I've always wanted as a kid. Funny thing is, I would not have liked this bike as a kid, but I think it's powerful cool now! I had great fun taking something that someone was going to throw away and tranform it into something useful and cool to look at!

Sundaes & Rummage Sales

Saw this bike at a rummage sale yesterday for $20. I had to get it. Don't need it. I have a very nice bike at home, but I liked this little treasure, because it's so retro looking. This is a picture of it cleaned up somewhat. My boyfriend loaned me a tool to use that helped me clean up the rust, and I took windex and wiped down the rest of it. We pumped up the tires and took it for a spin. I love the white wall tires. This afternoon, I'm looking forward to painting it a new color.

There's nothing like a Dusty Road Sundae and a lime phosphate for breakfast. We started the day at an old fashioned ice cream shop. We played old tunes on 78's on the juke box, and got our ice cream fix. The rest of the early afternoon we walked around town from one rummage sale to the next. It was a fun afternoon.

Took a Boat Sunday

Took a ride in this little boat on a little lake on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It couldn't have been nicer or more relaxing. Just me and my boyfriend. Nice.

Spring Time

Yes, I admit, I'm at a loss for anything interesting to share lately. I've been struggling so much with my attitudes , whether at work, or in my personal life, it's been hard for me sit back and appreciate the smaller, unique joys in life. Around here May can be a fickle month. It can be beautiful and sunny and warm, and the next day, it can be rainy, cold and yucky. Yes, it can even snow, but I thought I would share one of my poppies. They are really bursting forth like crazy. I have a ton of them. Also, my boyfriend installed for me a new faucet. Gee, I guess I should have taken a picture of the old, rotting one that was there before, because then you could really appreciate why this new one is so nice. In the process of putting the new one in, I vacumed up some old plumbing parts that were under the sink, and my vacume died. That will be my next project. Spring cleaning with a new vacume. Yes, my life is exciting.
