bright day in gloomy weather

no joke, paris as been this gloomy for about 3 weeks!

but i took the velib' to an appointment anyway.  the air was cold, but i liked it and it's always so much fun on those bikes.  the trip to my destination, my seat wouldn't stay up.  then when i got it to stay, it ended up crooked.  on the way back home i ended up getting one with a messed up chain and it would pop every pump i gave.  i ended up spotting a flower shop right next to a velib' and direct metro station home.  i gave up the runny nose and cold fingers for some flowers and a metro home.


these really made my day.  when the clerk asked me if they were a gift, i said yes.  but i didn't say the gift was for me.

  2. I love that you bought yourself a gift. I smiled inside when I read this. Missouri is just a gloomy so it is like you are home. I miss you very much. xoxo
