It's finally time to roll!

It's been a long time since I've updated my Rollin' with Rosie blog, mother nature has been against me here in Alberta, we've had snow, rain and a lot of crappy cold weather since I last rolled but I think we're finally into biking season and it's a good thing too because I was DYING to bike.

We got a bike trailer for the little guy so I'm no longer limited to bike rides just when my husband is home. The trailer is great, it even has a storage area behind the seat for groceries, the other day I fit 3 full bags in there! My next goal is to roll down to the "No Frills" on the other side of town, I haven't adventured that far yet!

My dad gave his bike to my husband so we've been going on family bike rides lately and I love it. It's everything I had hoped our family would be when we hop on our bikes, grab the dog and go for a bike ride after dinner or on a Sunday afternoon....it makes my heart smile!

Last night we rode around town, let the dog swim in the lake and then stopped for ice cream, Hudson and Dustin enjoyed their treat very much. My husband picked out a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of toasted coconut...I'll admit I had a little taste and it was too die for!! It took every fiber of my being to not march into the restaurant and order myself up a big cone for myself!

sadness...

My husband is back working and I don't have a bike trailer yet to take my little guy out on bike rides. The sun is shining and Rosie and I are just dying to go out for a ride...hopefully after this weekend (my little guys birthday) we'll have a bike trailer and my adventures with Rosie, Lola & Hudson will resume :)

Old House Rollin'


I'm working on a blog entry about some of the great old houses in my town. It's taking me some time to find them all but Rosie & I are having a great time adventuring through all the old streets looking out for the beautiful old homes from the early 1900's.

Stay tuned :)

Country Rollin'



It was a really nice day out today. My husband had a nasty headache so I thought I'd be a nice wife and run out and grab him some Advil...and sneak off for a bike ride :) The clouds looked gorgeous and fluffy in the blue sky & the geese were at the lake again!

Patriotic Rollin'


It was kind of windy & cloudy today but I grabbed a quick ride & snapped this picture before the rain started falling.

Small Town Rollin'


Today I had some errands to run and even though it was windy and 4 degrees outside I decided I'd take Rosie out for a spin instead of drive and I'm glad I did. I went to the post office and bought stamps, stopped at the chiropractor and got adjusted, then stopped and got milk and creamer for my husband then took the long way home just outside town limits to extend my bike ride a little further.

As I rode home with my milk and stamps in my basket I saw Canadian Geese hanging on the still frozen lake & a little one playing in a puddle; I rode past farmers fields and people walking dogs and thought to myself - could my life be any more perfect.

Have I mentioned that I ♥ small town rollin'

Rollin' to the market


I had a great little bike ride this morning, I stopped off at the chiropractor and then headed on over to the local market to pick up some fresh produce & milk for the next couple of days. I took my backpack & had my trusty basket, it was all I needed to get my groceries home. I took the long way home just to enjoy my ride a little bit longer; I'm glad I did because I came across this cute little house with a cute little cat sitting in the window getting some sun. I think it's really eye opening to see all the things I do when I ride my bike instead of drive. I can't stop smiling about the cat in the windowsill and yet, if I'd driven I wouldn't have taken that way home and I certainly wouldn't have taken the time to notice that little moment in life.
