Old Lady on Wheels

My Darling Husband Dave decided to ride his bicycle with me when I took my morning skate yesterday. He shot these pictures along the way. This is at the beginning, when the road is very level and I am just getting warmed up.

No traffic to speak of on Sunday morning. I am building uo some steam here.

He moves ahead to catch the panting, but I manage to smile.

On the home stretch where maneuvering around cars is about all I can manage.

Safely back in our driveway, breathless and wobbly. We spent an hour out on the roads and had a fun workout. This was my third day this year on skates and my muscles finally have stopped aching.

WE have two magnolias in bloom and they make me so happy. I took about twenty shots, but will not publish every one... although they are all so beautiful. I love this part of our Spring. Illinois is no vacation spot but we do our best to make Spring and Fall gorgeous with our gardening. Summer usually suffers from drought and neglect, due to so many mosquitos.

Ain't he cute? This was a farewell party for a co-worker who was transferred. All the gals love my husband.
This is his new beard. Very scratchy!
