Yup...all from our garden. Last night's dinner table included broccoli, tomatoes, cilantro and peppers all from our first time garden. Picked a bunch of green beans too (I'm not too far off from that bean salad!). This weekend I may try and can some tomatoes...hey I'm on a roll...why not give it a shot right?
And since we seem to be on a healthy kick...I finally got myself a bike! Everyone in the family had a bike but me...I would literally have to rent a bike each time we wanted to go riding together. And admittedly, I never really cared much for bike riding...the seats always seemed dreadfully uncomfortable and I would lean so far forward that my arms were carrying the weight of my body and my hands and arms tired out long before my legs. The last bike I remember owning had tires that I believe measured in millimeters instead of inches and they hadn't invented shock absorption yet. Well apparently times have changed. I walked into Dick's and said I want a bike that is incredibly comfortable with a nice big cushy seat, I want to sit up nice and tall just like Marry Poppins...I want a beach cruiser with gears so I can climb more than a boardwalk. Whalaa! It was just that easy. My bikes model is actually from their "comfort" series. Not the mountain bike series, not the road bike series and not the trails series...nope just the plain old comfort series...aaaaahhhh. So now momma has her own bike...anyone interested in going for a ride?
