I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

Got up late, so no time this morning, then took Firstborn on a driving lesson in the evening. Little hike at ElDo was nice!

But what if you don’t believe in it? Could the class be called “Drama and Theatrics” or “The Posterity Hoax?” I suppose some of it might be real. That little tidbit Unit 5.1 has been around for a while, but suppose its applied only to Nationalism and not the Planet...

How tall is your daughter, and is it hard for her to find cute shoes that fit her? Plenty of petite and plus size options for ladies, but tall sizes are not common. Eddie Bauer to save the day!

We hiked yesterday too! My 3 year old is gonna be an Amazon, and poor mamas has to settle for boy style/color hiking boots.

The trail near my place has hundreds of invasive fig trees that are starting to pop. Freakin’ Country Bear Buffet!

I may have to delete this post this afternoon if I’m lucky and can get on my bike! It’s been almost a month. Where does the time go as it passes?
