Here's what I started my day with yesterday.... my (and Abbie's, for the summer) new ride.....
Ain't she sweet? I haven't had my very own bike since college, a good 5 or 6 years ago..........
My favorite part? Well, besides the white-walled tires and women's frame, I just adore this little Nantucket basket wired to the front (so great for mail and farmer's market hauls this summer)..........
The best part of my Mother's Day Sunday was taking a lovely ride about the hood with Wink......just lettin' the good times roll! We also had fun going over to nearby Lake Delta for dinner and digging in the dirt most of the morning.....
Digging in the dirt is the best thing in the world to do, ever, in my book...it's all about the simple things, no?.......
I was truly spoiled by my husband this Mother's Day. AND, our Little Miss Thing (home tomorrow night at midnight!) wrote me the sweetest e-mail; it made me cry. She makes it so easy to be a good mama, because she's such a wonderful child. Hey, did I ever show you (I know I have, at least four or five thousand times thus far) this very prestigious award I won a few years back? Finally, finally got it framed so hopefully now it'll last forever.....
Mmmmm Hmmmm. that's right. It's official, so all you other moms out there can just wallow in jealousy, forever.....unless you've received a similar award, that is!
******************
A long time ago I posted a recipe for a Hash Brown Quiche that my family really loves. Well, I changed it up a little bit recently by eliminating the ham and sprinkling the whole pie with crumbled bacon......
This quiche is my reason for living......
We love it for breakfast. We love it for lunch. We love it for brunch. Sometimes, when we're feeling speshally naughty, we even like it for supper, with a crisp green salad on the side! Shhhh...don't tell the neighbors......
Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it has bacon. Deal with it......do an extra 3 miles on the treadmill tomorrow, and you'll be just fine.......
If you'd like to try this, you can find the original recipe, HERE. I have never been a huge fan of ham, so I really like my new version better: Just eliminate the chopped ham from the filling, and sprinkle the finished pie, just out of the oven, with cooked and crumbled bacon. Maybe 4 or 5 slices.
See you next time!

TODAY I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT.......
***I became a mom. Because the joy my child brings me will last a lifetime.
***That I have such a wonderful mom, Carol in California! She taught me all about the finer things in life, including good food, good men and the Clan McGregor.
***That I have such a wonderful Mother In Law, Marilyn in California! Her support and love for our little family is unwavering.
Where did you get your bike? I would love to have one like that...it reminds me of the ones on Mackinaw Island...and they are so comfortable to ride...and the basket is just plain cute! Yep I want one for sure!
ReplyDeleteoh...by the way...I pinned this recipe...it looks so good...and EASY...Yeah!! I love good and easy!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, I have never seen a cuter bike! I'm sure you can't wait until the farmers market opens.
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon...found my bike at a little local shop in Inlet, NY, called Pedals and Petals...he had it shipped from California. I love the way the handlebars are UP, so you don't have to bend over and get a backache!
