On my bike again!

Saturday was a busy day. Instead of taking my car and going to the gym I hoped on my bike and rode to the beach. WOW! What a beautiful day. I rode down to PCH and then to Sea Point. I stopped half way to take these pictures of the surf. My hair looks pretty bad but I look REALLY happy! There is nothin' better then a good ride at the beach without any wind! I rode about 12 miles. I'm guessing since I don't have odometer yet. I'll be buying one of those tomorrow.

Once I got home I called my best friend and biking buddy, Sherri. She met me at my house. We hooked up a VERY old bike trailer to my bike and headed to the swap meet around the corner from my house. We were looking for potted flowers for center pieces we needed for a dinner Saturday night. Sherri needed a play pen of some kind for her new baby chickens. She has 5 baby chicks and her husband is building a chicken coup in her back yard. I'll tell you more about that in a minute. Well....did we get some great finds at the swap meet. We just loaded it all up in my trailer! Sherri got a used doggie playpen for $8.00. I got 4 beautiful pots of flowers for $5.00 each! A total steal of a deal. We each got a basket to put on our bikes so when we go to the grocery store for a quick trip we have some place to put our groceries. They were selling them for $15.00 but Sherri got the guy to sell us 2 for $25! Way to go bestie! 2 sweet pineapples for $5.00, fanny pack for 5 bucks(I know! I know! gross! But I've got to have some place to put my cell, money, keys etc.) We headed home and unloaded most of the goods and took a few pictures.

Then it was off to deliver Sherri's doggie pen. We got on our bikes and headed out. BUT...as we passed a neighbors house they were selling lemonade and COOKIES! Sherri put on the breaks!!! We GOTTA have cookies! We chatted with the Diaz family and ates some cookies. Boy were they good! I think I make a good cookie but I think they have me beat! We headed to Sherri's and delivered the rest of our treasures. As I was riding home I felt such a great feeling of impowerment! So Take That gym pass!!!!
