One of these bikes is not like the other

I have two bikes that I love to ride. I had a Raleigh 10-speed road bike when I was a teen, but these days I like my bikes pretty and comfortable to ride. When we moved to Greenville, SC in 2009, I went from flat riding with primarily nearby destinations to hilly riding with my usual destinations over 5…

I Bike Friendly

You may have heard the term bike-friendly which is used by the League of American Bicyclists in official designations for states, communities, businesses or universities. The new advocacy group we have started here in Greenville, Bike Walk Greenville, is working to make our county both more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. When it comes to biking around town,…

Gray days of winter

Best and most difficult part of my week was figuri Best and most difficult part of my week was figuring out how to rescue this adorable 8-week old that appeared outside our apartment building. She was too scared to let me touch her but she wanted to be friends. My bruised knees attest to how long it took to convince her to go for the food bowl in the carrier. Thanks to many failures, I'm now really good at strategically placing small tastes of canned food along a stick to entice her closer and closer. I had to wait until finally the time her head AND ALL four paws went inside to shut the door without her getting away. Had a rope tied to the door* to shut it from a distance, but the winning move was playfully looking at her through the holes in the carrier so she felt safe enough to enter. After vet visit and her safe arrival at a friend's house, I finally got to hold her and was rewarded with sweetest neck nuzzles. 🥰
* Warning: panicked kitten almost immediately got rope wrapped around her neck so plan for quick removal of rope if you try this!
Found one of my mom's old favorite restaurants now Found one of my mom's old favorite restaurants now located near us. We enjoyed the beef koobideh and dolmas 😋 Loved being seated by the fountain! The wine glasses are almost as big as my mom 😂
