Saturday our temps climbed into the low 70's. We piled the kids in the car and headed to Lowes to pick up paint for DD room and for David to get toilet guts to finally fix the toilet in our bedroom. This was the day the boys and dad were to take the guts of the existing toilet out and then put in all new ones. yea. A week of having to remember to use the powder bath at 2 a.m. was beginning to wear on me.
While we were out it was a perfect time to head off to HD to pick up a new bulb for my left side lamp. Its been out for a while and riding with one main lamp was just strange. Ran into Lee who I haven't seen in quite a while. (he and his wife are snowbirds and spend their winters in Tucson) So he quickly got my bulb and $22.00 later we were on our way.
New bulb installed, thanks honey, and 2 walls painted I did go out for a quick ride to make sure all the lamps were in the correct position. ;-)
Yesterday saw temps in the 80's! Of course I couldn't let that lie. So after cutting in a couple of walls in DD room I jumped on the bike and headed out for a bit of pavement time. Didn't head out far, like I would have liked, just didn't have time for that. Rode up to Lowes for some paint rollers and paint samples to start contemplating painting all the wood in the house.
Later it became all important that I get out for a while. So with another DD in tow we headed over to a friends house for DD to babysit friends boys and we headed off to Chilis for a lite dinner and some adult conversation. Of course I rode. The evening was so pleasant with the wonderfully warm temps. I still needed my hoodie but it was simply for protection from bugs and the chill that would come later. The wind in my hair offered me the calming moments that I desperately needed. We had a great dinner with lots of laughing and then headed off to Starbucks for my evening coffee. Starbucks closed with us sitting outside enjoying the evening and the crotch rockets cruising by. We arrived back at her house for me to pick up DD and got home at about 10:30. ahhhh....
