Bike Ride

I have been trying to get Mom's bike over to our house for AWHILE so we can all go riding together. Drew and I love to go riding on our bikes, especially since we are so close to downtown now, it makes for a fun ride. Patrick and I got Mom a bike for Mother's Day last year and I only saw her ride it that day.

Tuesday night we finally got over to Mom and Nana's house at a decent hour to get the bike and Mom. Of course we caught her a little off guard and she was suprised to see us there to get her. Nevermind that we DID call first. Her mood was borderline tolerable and I tried to talk her down the best I could. My husband walked in the room and with one joke put a smile on her face and she was ready.

We had so much fun riding around our neighborhood and I am ashamed to say I tired first. I think Mom had been saving all her energy for it.

Seeing her ride her bike, was like watching a child. Her grin from ear to ear, not following the rules of the road but creating her own, riding past dogs being walked and calling out "Hey Puppy Puppy!!" She was having a blast and we were having so much fun watching her.

As we took her home she said "OK lets go again tomorrow!"
