Pure Joy
Days to Cherish
Biking with Bob to celebrate his 82nd birthday!
Hello Friends,
Passionate pursuits are often full of effort, but—
Sometimes there are shining days of joy.
Wanted to share these with you,
Reminding you yours await …
Along your own passionate path—
Don’t wait!
You will guess this bike day was with
Bob, my husband, for his 82 b-day!
Root River Trail,
Rail Trail in SE MN.
Quiet, nearly private paths,
For two days.
Excellent weather,
Wildflowers blooming,
Flowering trees & bushes.
Food, tasty and well prepared,
Expanding our usual fare.
Riding side by side,
Asset of off-road biking.
Not much conversation,
Lots of shared appreciation.
We were deliberate in saying,
"I am very glad to have this time,
These adventures ,
This opportunity,
With you."
It mattered so much to me to be able to express
Love and Gratitude.
May you take time to tell those you LOVE,
That .... You Do.
Hugs to each,
Lin
P.S. Still hope to bike to talk in Lake City,
Forecast of rain may alter arrival plan.
Hope to see you there,
Lake City, MN Library, Sat. May 20, 10am!

We got to color on the table at lunch in Lanesboro. It says "Happy 82nd Birthday, Bob! My best buddy."
