There is a lot going on in life right now. A quick trip home at the end of last week. Day camp this week. The Agape Singers from western MN [including many, many of my favorite gnome friends!] are touring to Red Oak Grove this coming Thursday. It’s mostly all good stuff in life. But instead of a general overview post where I ramble on and on, I’m going to tell you about my new favorite thing.
Now, I know. I know. I have lots of favorite things. Some people accuse me of applying the word too liberally. But this is the real deal. A real, true, magnificent favorite.
Traveling by bicycle.
It’s my new favorite. I bought Mavis a few weeks ago now and she pretty much remains parked in a garage in Austin, next to her bike friend, Miles. Mavis stays put in town because Miles’ rider and I have taken to running errands by bicycle. And I love it.
We bike to the video store. [Yes. I have a membership to a video store. How they are still profitable, I don’t know, but it’s cheaper than renting online.] We bike to geocache. We bike to supper.
That’s my favorite. There is something super fun about biking to a restaurant, eating, and then biking home. Or so I think anyways. Last night was a double favorite: we biked downtown for supper [geocaching on the way – yes, we are dorks] AND ate outside. It was the perfect evening weather-wise and we made the most of it.
We haven’t biked to the grocery store yet. That will come. Mavis needs a basket first.
there's no place like gnome.
