One day, 3 bike trails. It was honey's idea to ride from home all the way out to the Glacial Drumlin trail yesterday. I thought it was an excellent idea, but knew she might regret it by the time we were done..

The Kinnickinnic river parkway is near our home, it's part of the Oak Leaf trail. We started on that, then cut across town towards the Honey Creek and Root River parkways, which took us to Greenfield park.


The New Berlin Rec trail is a great way to get from Milwaukee to Waukesha. One must traverse some city streets to reach the Glacial Drumlin trail, but it's pleasant, and there are coffee shops!

We made it! Twenty miles from home, and all we have to do is turn around and ride back...

Jamming speed Sir!

Blueberry-rhubarb and strawberry-rhubarb. Honey and I made jam today, toast tomorrow with jam hooray!

Wagons, Ho!

We're all set for Jazz in the park . I purchased a great little wagon from a nice guy who had posted it on Craigslist. Now I can grab a couple of sandwiches, pack some beverages, and go stake out a spot in the park. Shortly thereafter, my honey will get off of work and come down to meet me. This is pretty much heaven for us, and one of the best parts of Milwaukee's summer. Click the picture for a biggee if you wish a better look at the neighbors' puppy.

It could be worse

At least I'm not bald...

Bagel french toast! We didn't have any regular bread in the house, there's always Hunger Filler in the freezer, but no soft squishy stuff. There was a package of big soft wheat bagels though, and after an extra long soak in the milky egg mixture we browned them in a frypan before baking them in the oven for 20 minutes. The thing that made them jump from tasty to incredible was a little spoonful of cream cheese in the center of each puffy treat.

Snowy Milwaukee

This is the first day in a few where I haven't needed to go out and s****l, and boy it's nice to just sit!

Aliens are eating your Christmas pie!

Have a happy holiday.

POP!

Note to self. When using the bathroom, remember to leave the cat out. I happened to be sitting down on the porcelain this morning when I felt a curious paw reach between the rim of the seat and the crease of my backside. Damn, I thought I had an airtight seal.....

We put the bikes in the basement today, sigh. We'll have to try to get on the Nordic track once in a while, or go over to big fanny (Bally's formerly Vic Tanny, get it?) We did ride about 840 miles this year, and had a great time doing so. Congrats to my honey for sticking with, and occasionally kicking my butt.

Play nice!

Kitty Sweater

Someone decided to try and remove their own stiches after a spay operation and is now sporting a stylish sweater. The doctor used plenty of glue to hold all the sweetness in, and Jazz should be fine as long as she behaves herself.

Jazz is a very soft and sweet little kitty, but very sassy. She is like a monkey in a mink coat!

After a nice breakfast, we'll drive up to Port Washington for a relaxing bike ride.

Kitten eyes, sassy and sweet

We rode the Mesabi Trail with Andy and his folks a couple of weeks ago. The ride was very scenic, and 52 miles was plenty long enough. Did I mention climbing 2500 feet of elevation? I'm very proud of Cathy for toughing it out to the end
