A HAPPY SUNNY DAY ON THE BIKE

As Meghan says, "Mom, this has just been a nine month vacation for you!" Well today I would agree with her. With the weather in the mid 60's and the sky bright blue and no clouds, I felt a little piece of heaven today out riding my bike.

With just three of us today we were able to be a little more adventerous. This trailed was marked "No bikes" but since it was a Monday morning and not many walkers out yet we ventured off the road to be along the gulf between Arradon and Baden. There were a few small stairs to climb so I now understand why they said, "No bikes". We had a beautiful view of the gulf so it was worth the little inconvenience now and then.

I love to take pictures while we are riding, if you haven't guessed by now. After stopping at this antique store which was a former mill, I eyed these old weathered boats. If we could only know the stories of their lives. Heidi and Prisille are in the background on the right patiently waiting.

Priscille is a great lover of history and was thrilled to share her pre-French Revolution history with us whenever she could. She taught us all about the French feudal system and showed us a couple of seigneury houses. I am sure this man was loving his job on the oyster boat today.

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it
