Old friends moving back
| Wed, 09-24-2008 - 10:12pm |
The bad side of living in a University city is that people are so transient. Over the years we've met and lost many friends. Today we had a visit from a couple who are retiring back here! We see them once a year when they are in the area and never run out of things to talk about. He is a model railroader like DH, she sews and gardens, like ME. They are buying a house 2 blocks from us! It will be so good to have them nearby.

Jacquie that is just great. You sure sound happy about this. Is there a time frame
It all sounds so good, Jacquie.
If you could ride a bike once, you can ride again. You just may be a bit shaky until you get going. Bike riding was such a part of my childhood that I love just tooling around the neighborhood. If you get serious about riding again, try looking at the new bikes for "aging baby boomer" - the Townie model by Electra. It even has old-fashioned coaster brakes. Oh - buy a helmet first.
I have a motorcycle class license, but haven't ridden for 20 years. I learned in my late 30s, used a small size bike to travel to work on campus. I found I wasn't a natural at it the way DH and DSs are. I was always tense and afraid I couldn't hold it up. Didn't enjoy all that horsepower, so I stick to me-power bicycle.
