A Few of My Favorite Things

I have some great things I need to write about.  The most exciting is the new mountain bike my greatest hubby got me for Mothers Day.  He surprised me big time.  It was a great day, and I LOVE the mountain bike.  Especially since my knee has been giving me fits.  Do any of you want to take a ride sometime?  I definitely need some partners.  Blake and I have gone once and we had a great time together.  I think he thinks I a bit whimpy because coming down the hills scares me to death.  I had to get off and walk my bike.  It was fun just to spend some time together doing something we both like to do.  Another really great thing that I have loved this month is the website audible.com.  A friend told me about this site and has been urging me to give it a try.  I downloaded the most awesome book called The Hunger Games.  I highly recommend this book.  I am so glad I downloaded it because my son can also listen to it while he mows lawns this summer.  So go download a book.  It will get you through yard work, housework, taxi driving, soccer games, and lacrosse.  It's great!  Ethan tells me I look really hip with earphones in all day.  I told him that just maybe I was really listening to the newest songs just as they hit I-tunes.  He rolls his eyes....  Lastly, a great buy.  Who can give this up?  I love these new capris that I bought at Walmart.  They were 8.00.  They are so comfy.  I love them.  So there you have it.  Some great things you may enjoy!  Let me know about the mountain biking!!

Your post left me smiling which is saying a lot after a very long day. Thank you for sharing. I agree the the downhill of mtn. biking is terrifying. EEK! Definitely will check out the website. I love audiobooks! What's not to like about $8 capris?

Thanks for the tip of the web site I will have to try it out. Cute capris and nice bike. Way to go Blake. If I had a mountain bike and lived closer I would totally go with you:) maybe we could come say hi when we are up your way with to Bren.

I've been to audible before. I downloaded a book for learning to speak Japanese. The bad part was, I had to listen to the whole thing at once -- or maybe there was something I wasn't understanding about how to play it. :) I'm afraid that I'm not much of a mt.biker. But I did discover a great trail -- the Willow Creek to Little Cottonwood Creek trail. The trailhead starts on the right fork past Camp Lomia. It would be great. I might be able to hack it, but I'd be slow. No promises. :)

I love audible too. We download books and listen to them as we travel. It takes a couple of hours to visit family and this helps us pass the time and enjoy it. Have fun on the bike.

I haven't been by your blog in a while. It's changed--I like the new format. I will "check out" audible.com soon.
