July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| I’m 24 today! Write about your most memorable birthday. My favorite entry (or entries ) today will receive a Birthday MB! Quotes: "The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine." ~ John Howard "I thought of that while riding my bicycle." ~ Albert Einstein in reference to the Theory of Relativity.  My dad gave me a brand new Schwinn bicycle for my birthday, when I was a child. I spent my days riding it up and down the road in front of our house for years. It was my imaginary horse before horses came into my life. How old was I? Maybe I was 8 to 10 years old. I don’t really remember. I was still riding it when I was a teenager. I always took care of it and appreciated it. I had to stop riding it when one of my cousins removed the wheels and sold them. Today I ride a Walmart special, that K bought for me. The Schwinn Company was founded in 1895 by Ignaz Schwinn with Adolph Arnold as his financial backer. The company still makes quality bikes with innovative designs. You can find the companies website online. The Company began in Chicago, Illinois and now is known all over the world. Although, the price of a Schwinn is high the bikes are known for their long lives. On the web Schwinn calls itself America’s most famous bicycle brand. When the company was first formed bikes were the rage. They caused a lot of changes in the country. Women's clothing was modified so they could ride bikes comfortably. Because I remembered, I went out and bought Schwinn bicycles for my three sons, in the 1980's. I still have one of them in my barn (son’s bicycle) and I rode it for awhile. Schwinn bicycles are the best. They were made with real metals that don’t rust. I don't know if they still are or not. The brand name must count. Automobiles came along and then the bicycle took a backseat to the Ford. But, even today, you never forget your first bicycle.
