Biking For A New Purpose

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.

Puppy Update + New Food Contributor

It’s been a crazy week, so much going on with my Sherwin-Williams makeover and also another BIG makeover I am working on with Rebuilding Together. John’s birthday was Thursday and now my boys are off for the week, phew! The last 2 weeks were also a little nuts as I was filming for my Abstract Art Class . You will be really surprised by some of the personal things I open up about and some of the tools I use to create art if you sign up for this class, which I so hope you will.
Anywho….I have been meaning to give an update on our puppy Denver. I have had so many questions from where he sleeps, to his energy level & temperament, to if we are still happy we made the decision. As most of you know John didn’t really want another dog. He liked being able to go away and not worry about doggie care and he also didn’t miss the chaos a dog can sometimes bring to an already hectic family life. But…I pushed for it. I wanted my boys to have this experience. With Murphy it was like they woke up one day and there he was, already in his senior years. They still loved him tons but never had that puppy experience. I am not going to lie, I was nervous being the one who ultimately made the decision on this. So nervous! You hear stories about puppies and how they uproot your life & change the dynamics of the whole house. I needed and hoped so desperately for a good experience with our new little pup. Well….it has been 7 months that we have had him and he is now 9 months old. He is the biggest love and we all adore him so, even John.

  3. 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.

    The house you show is great! It is right up my alley, too.

    Good luck with your dreams!
