Black Friday Shopping

Shopping with my peeps!

 Scoring a deal on some Maui Jim's:


Enjoying some coffee with the girls...
and texting a friend or two...

Sunday's Ride

I have looked at Electra bikes since 2003 and been hooked ever since.  The pristine Amsterdams, fun cruisers and my favorite, the Townies.  I had a Trek for years and sold it to a co-worker recently.  I've wanted a more relaxed, less aggressive riding style to cruise around my lovely neighborhood, ride to the market or bike the local trails, maybe even a quick ride downtown....I finally landed on the 2011 Electra Townie Balloon 8d...pearl coffee brown.  The flat-feet technology, retro-style and modern builds.  Found this beauty at Spokes Little Rock at 1001 Kavanaugh in Hillcrest http://www.spokesshop.com/  Very friendly, knowledgeable staff with a wide selection of bikes, helmets, gear and a tasty coffee selection!  Thankfully they are open on Sundays 1-5 through Christmas.  Owners Mat and Regina Seelinger were both very helpful.  Big thanks to my Mom and Dad for going with me to pick it out and tote it home.  If you see me around town on my new wheels, stop and say hi :)  Happy riding!

Contribute

When considering Christmas gifts this year, please consider the gift of Heifer.  Donate a flock of geese, ducks or chicks, maybe a trio of rabbits or a knitting basket in honor of a friend or loved one.  It's a wonderful way to let your loved one know you care not only about them but about the world around them.  Please visit http://www.heifer.org/ to view their gift catalog.  You will help support a local Arkansas charity as well.  They do great work in the fight to end world hunger.
