Found this on the windshield of my truck this past week as I was heading home for lunch.

Sorry. Can’t help it. I love the boy – aka Boxer. Oh yea, the evil bitch is in the pic, too.

M is pet sitting for some friends of ours. It may be a tough gig for her. Here is a picture of Gracie, one of her charges. Darcy, the other charge, was reposing inside the house and not available for the photograph.

So, what’s so tough about the gig? She has the pool, hot tub and pool table.

Well, my friends, M is missing her cook – her dinner tonight:

My dinner tonight: – a medley of asian veggies and shrimp. Yummo!

“Tiger faithful, I apologize,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “I wish we were better. We’ll work hard at it and we’ll do what we can.

I think I’m going to cry, quick, grab me a kleenex…..NOT! Go Gators!

As you can see my commuting distance to work is a mere .96 mile by bicycle. Gotta love it!

I saw this haunted mansion as I rode my bicycle in to work today. Hoping to have our decorations up this weekend.

Yes, it’s that time of year again…beware!

We’ve been attempting to bump up our exercise – at our age it’s important to keep the joints moving. Cycling seems to be a good fit. It’s less jarring on the joints and the scenery can be beautiful. Our “horses” are a couple of mountain bikes fitted with street tires. One bike is about 15 years old and the other 6. Believe it or not, they both ride like the wind.

Lately, when riding the trail we’ve driven (yes, we’re still lightweights) to the halfway point and ridden towards Hawthorne. Today we decided to turn west and ride towards Boulware Springs. It had been a awhile since we’d seen the sites. Started late – didn’t begin riding until after 10:30am. Slept in. Stayed up late watching some good college football. Thankfully, it was mostly overcast and cool during the ride.

A ride on the Hawthorne trail is not complete without a stop to view the gorgeous prairie. Those who ride this trail know the view well. We thought we might have seen some bison out there but couldn’t be sure without binoculars.

This creek reminds me of the Louisiana bayou.

All in all, we had a good ride. We spent the calories burned at Ivey’s with a delicious late breakfast.

Later gators.

Pizza and beer! Is there any better dinner?
