The other night I found myself without a car. I had dropped my SUV off at the dealership in the morning hopeful I would have it by dinner time as I had nothing to make for dinner.So it was 4:30 when I got the call, they had to order a part & it wouldn't be ready until the next day.
Huh, what to do for dinner?
So my son & I biked into town. It was so peaceful & quiet. We got our pizza, went to the town gazebo & parked ourselves. We packed a cooler with drinks, fruit & snacks. We meet some friends & had a great picnic. They kids ran around & we(grown ups) got to chat. We went to the Deli for ice cream & headed home. For a last minute plan it was so much fun. I big part of that for me was the simplicity of it. That we could use our bikes for a purpose other than excercise. Like years ago when people didn't have automobiles.
I have come to realize I like simple, it makes me feel good inside. I feel like I am connecting to the moments not so much the things.
Summer time is a great time to "live simply", I hope everyone has great weekend.
Great bike...all you need is a cute basket!!

Hi! I just came across your blog and was so shocked to see that you are from close by! I actually grew up in Sayville. It is a wonderful town and has lots of wonderful things to offer.
ReplyDeleteThe house you show is great! It is right up my alley, too.
Good luck with your dreams!
So nice that you made the best out of your situation and had a lovely bike ride and picnic. The simple things are the best things!
