I bought a bicycle! & my weekend activities

I've been a bit jealous of my husband and two kids of late because they all had bikes and were taking bike rides and I wanted to go too...SO...I went out on Friday and bought myself a good ole Schwinn perfect for me! Got a helmet, too, don't worry! We went (as a family) on Friday for a long ride around our neighborhood and it felt SO good! Though my butt cheeks are sore from not riding in years, I went again with the kids yesterday...It gave me SO much energy. So much in fact, that I finished laying down the mulch in my flower beds! We also went to Mystic to the Seaport and walked all afternoon. What a great place, if you've never been. Our public library has a family pass that gets you in for free. You just check it out with your library card...we saved 60 bucks! A lot of people don't know that their public library has these passes...and usually they are free admission or greatly reduced price for admission. Check it out. I'm just taking a break right not as Bob and I are ripping apart the fence that goes around our hottub for it's been wind blown for 6 years and is very wobbly. We need to sure it up, power wa**** and stain it so that it looks better for a potential buyer. It feels so much better to be active than to sit idle..I've found. WOW...never thought I'd say that! Hope you all are having a great time in the great weather. I know the sun is what I need for my vitamin D deficiency! FINALLY SUN! Paula

Congrats on the bike!!! Sounds like a perfect springtime activity... You know, there is a beautiful bike path in rhode island ...it winds thru historic bristol all the way to east providence....it is level and smooth and is 80% waterfront, so it's very beautiful... It might be fun for you and your fam to throw the bikes on the car some sweet summer day and do some scenic cycling! My partner and I often utilize the passes you can borrow from the library... the money they save us is quite substantial. Have a beautiful day! Bevi
