One year I was treated to a new bike to take home with me to the UK. A carbon fibre Trek. I felt like a princess riding around the Monuments on that beautiful machine. Nobody seemed to mind and I happily rode down flights of steps. (It was an off-road bike).Schoolbands playing, flags all fluttering in unison. Magic.<BR/>Thanks for bringing those memories to the fore. <BR/>jocojocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443120495036936430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-88591139024536464492009-04-06T18:29:00.000-04:002009-04-06T18:29:00.000-04:00That's not very nice.

There were blue barrels around -seen in one of the photos.<BR/><BR/>Jim: Can't do. We really need to move on with the season. It's already progressing too slowly. How about I kick the dogwoods into blooming for you? We usually tell Buffaloans that they are cherry blossoms.Swimrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928919593044289369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-16815469354069365802009-04-06T16:21:00.000-04:002009-04-06T16:21:00.000-04:00I'll be spending the week in Washington next week....I'll be spending the week in Washington next week.

A bird pooped on me and it was so soggy that it was hard to see the big pencil across the water.<BR/><BR/>Maybe when I'm volunteering this weekend it'll look better, but most of the blooms will be gone!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you got in this weekend, it was a madhouse! Did you see folks in blue volunteer shirts going around with bags and grabbers picking up cans and plastic bottles?Kenneth Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619410362453458358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-34153790144835690432009-04-06T09:39:00.000-04:002009-04-06T09:39:00.000-04:00Beautiful!!
