Ten Speed Schwinns and Weddings

Hello, it's a dark, dreary raining Monday morning.  A perfect time for Memory Monday.  I didn't yet manage to make a badge (time got away from this wk-end), and I'm late getting this post up for the same reason; but will try to get things rolling.  If you stop in last Mondayyou saw a picture from the way back machine, well here's another.  Though this one isn't as far back.  This is our Wedding Picture from the local paper.  We purchased our 10 speed bikes as wedding presents for each other.  Bikes were so popular at the time (41 years ago the 17th of this month), there were waiting lists at stores to get a Schwinn 10 speed.  We found ours in a old style bike shop out of town, Delaware, Ohio. 

We had the funniest idea that people would be coming to visit the day of our wedding.  We had a large box of donuts at my apartment for just that reason.  No idea why we thought that.  We weren't busy, things being so different then what people now do with their big weddings.  We went for a bike ride early in the day, he went home to get ready and I got ready by myself at my apartment.  I didn't have someone do my make up or my hair...it was all very normal, very relaxed.   My Dad came to pick me up at an appointed time and we drove to Whetstone Park of Roses for the ceremony.

The ceremony was short, casual and outside.  The weather was perfect!  We still have those bikes, though it's been years since we've ridden them.  I now have an old cruiser I ride around the neighborhood; we no longer go on true bike rides/hikes of distance.  I bring this memory up because our 41st anniversary is a week from today.  Lots of memories in those 41 years together.

Join me for Memory Monday, post a picture and tell us the story. I'll get a badge made later, but for now...sing the linky and let's get started.  Be sure and visit others on the list and  leave comments, so they know you were there.  It will make the dreaded Monday much more pleasant.

Me Time

What do you like to do with "Me Time?" I like to get up when I want, not with an alarm, sit in jammies drink coffee, check in here on the computer. While on the computer I like to check my mail, see what's going on with my blogs, check my dashboard to see if it's time to write another blog or if I have one in que to be published. Then do some knitting and or crocheting, then more computer stuff like checking in on facebook, ravelry and the like. I like quiet, so I do not turn on the TV, or radio, nor do I have the sound on my computer. I like peace. I enjoy alone time. I can spend hours like that.

Sit in the living room a bit with the yarn, then move to the computer and back and forth. It breaks things up. Sometimes you have to throw in things like doing laundry, running the vaccum, making the bed naturally. But, even then...if you're alone you can do a little of this, and a little of that. Like maybe knit 5 rows, throw a load in, visit blogs for half an hour, by then it's time to put the wash in the dryer...see what I mean. A bit of this and that.

Monday, though...that rarely works. Monday means you have to start your week, check your to do list, see what the priorities are. On top of that for me I have to verify my ever changing work schedule, make sure I've written it on the calendar. No 2 days are the same for me. So, Monday Already!
