I was back on the bike trail today for another 20 miles. I am hoping some of my friends can make it for one more ride before school starts. We are all employees of the school system. Some of us are retired and hope to keep riding until the weather stops us. It is hard to think of fall coming as the days are passing quickly.
We stopped in Troy today for lunch at The Bakery Cafe. Troy is beautiful as it has a fountain surrounded by flowers in the city center. The fountain is in the middle of a traffic circle. There are shops and eateries all the way around the circle. They are located in historic buildings with lots of history. The city is the home of the famous Strawberry Festival that is every year in June. The festival is a large fund raiser for many charities that draws about 100,000 people. It symbolizes for me the kick off to summer.
I am feeling a nap coming on before hubby gets home. It was very humid today and the bike ride drained my energy. We were lucky that we dodged the raindrops. Thank goodness for the cloud cover. Laney is already curled up next to me and ready to rest up before more fun tonight as we are off to a baseball game. We are loving summer and wishing it will not end. I think it is time to move to a warmer winter climate.
I sign off today with a quote from a beautiful actress and one of my favorites.
I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in
kissing, kissing a lot. I believe being strong when everything seems to be
wrong. I believe that the happiest girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that
tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.....Audrey Hepburn
Life is beautiful !!
