Afternoon.


We're having an excellent Saturday at the bungalow. In the photo Dexter is soliciting me for tiny bits of cheese while Dougal mopes on the sideline.

A few girlfriends are over here and we're chatting about the city, transportation, housing, and trains.

While all this is happening Dexter is blabbing "DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH" alternately with "AAAaaaAAAaaaaa" and "Ssss sssSsss while playing with his toys.




Don got a really good shot of Dexter's mullet. His hair is filling in but it's still much thicker in certain patches.




And you can't see here, but Dexter is wearing a Tour de France onesie. It was a gift from some family friends who were vacationing in France last summer.




And guess what's so exciting? Zoe Todd (featured in this article about cycling) rode her Pashley Princess Sovereign! Another fellow Pashley owner! So fabulous.




Hers is hunter green. I initially wanted a green one but the black ones arrived at redbike first, so I got a black one.




Boots!




Bell.




Basket.





Dress.




Saddle.




Helmet.




This morning a student's mom brought me a bag of Duchess Bakery's chocolate meringue puffs! I mean, I already get paid to teach these great kids and I get bakery yummies on top of it all? I'm so lucky.






And Zoe also showed up with a box of goodies from Duchess as well. Obviously many great minds are thinking alike today. And I like how it's all resulting in treats for me.






How's your weekend so far?

Dexter and Dougal look like best friends.

I think my weekend would be better if there was a Duchess down here :-)

I can't complain though. It's been unseasonably warm for CT in March...warm enough to go for a bike ride in a t-shirt.

Anon - Those two are going to get into so much trouble together.

Kerri - You could always start baking a bunch of your own treats! But yes, people arriving at the house with yummies in hand is so convenient:) So is biking without coats.

My weekend was great too. I bought a green Pashley Princess Sovereign today. They only had one green one left which made choosing between green or black a little easier. I hope I have as much fun riding it as you do yours.

dag - Pashley owners unite! Send me a picture if you ever get the chance:)

Hey Sarah! I hope Duchess opens a shop on the South-side as I'm rarely in that side of town.
I felt ill for most of Saturday (I think it was the fish) but it was still fun to watch Isaac compete for his school at the Journal Games. His race was dramatic because he was shoved off the track after the start of his race and they had to restart it. Then his teammate did a face-plant as he rounded a corner. We're trying to download the whole video on our blog for grandma & grandpa Penner. It was very exciting!
Miss FIona told me she might get a Pashley !
Clif has granted permission to plan an April gathering!
