Barge (& Bike)

Posted on May 28, 2023May 29, 2023 by Bernie

We’d had a certain reaction when we told folks that we were doing a barge and bike down the Danube River.

Hop on Hop off Vienna

Posted on May 21, 2023May 21, 2023 by Bernie

We chose to do a solo ride in Vienna rather than join a bike excursion or the hop on hop off bus. We basically did a hop on hop off bike for 40.2 as we  meandered through Vienna.

Happiness Day

Posted on Mar 20, 2023Mar 20, 2023 by Bernie

Conversations in the vehicle are always interesting with children. Plus today it was important that little Man C not fall asleep on the way to Nan’s house for the regular Monday night sleepover.

Slaying the dragon…not

Posted on Feb 16, 2023Feb 16, 2023 by Bernie

I’m definitely feeling like a fairie that’s lost its magic. Not much dragon slaying happening. Of course, I’m not sure fairies slay dragons, but perhaps you catch my drift.

Snicker what?

Posted on Jan 20, 2023Jan 20, 2023 by Bernie

There are times I am sure I live under a rock. I’ve never tasted a snickerdoodles and had no concept of what kind of cookie it was, but it turns out I am not the only one as I found out Saturday night.

A Serendipitous Encounter

Posted on Nov 28, 2022Nov 28, 2022 by Bernie

There are a lot of things that can be said about social media with a heavy portion of the equation being negative. There is a bright side, for me at least.

Not according to plan

Posted on Nov 16, 2022Nov 16, 2022 by Bernie

It started out on track and then skidded sideways. It made me draw deep a deep breath and realize that sometimes things don’t go according to plan. I wasn’t going to blog about it but was encouraged to share the mishap.

Snow Squares

Posted on Nov 8, 2022Nov 8, 2022 by Bernie

It is a common winter phenomena here that one never walks far but still walks a lot. Why you ask?

Cat & Mouse meets Clear as Mud

Posted on Oct 25, 2022Oct 25, 2022 by Bernie

Having spent the last few days in self isolation playing a reverse cat and mouse game where no ones wants to tag the other I am now in a new limbo. That of the “clear as mud” camp where no ones knows what to do with me … almost in a literal sense. Let me explain.

Bend in the Road

Posted on Sep 12, 2022Sep 12, 2022 by Bernie

The day stretched ahead, all new territory.  Down the hill, through the thicket that hid  Bishop’s Rest, onto the trail. Overhead, yet again, blue skies and sunshine. The birds chattered in the trees and our tires crunched noisily along the trail. Who knew what we would discover?
