Here is an "official" photo of grandson Brandon and his new bride Raegan. I cry every time I see pics of them - they are so happy! They were married in Tulsa on April 26. I hope to have more photos to add to my next post.
This is a sneak peek at the quilt I am currently finishing for the newlyweds. The colors are based on Raegan's favorite color of teal. It is a big quilt, and quilting it will take awhile with having to move it around so much on the 5-ft quilting frame!
This is very similar to my first bike, except there was no rear rack
Today's I Like Thursday prompt is all about bikes. I got my first bike when I was 8. One day I cried and whined so much for a bike that the next day my Daddy took me to the Oklahoma Tire and Supply (OTASCO) store, which was right next to the drug store where he worked as a pharmacist. Daddy never made much money, so buying a new bike must have been a real stretch for him and Mom. I think it was $30, and the owner of the store let Daddy pay it out monthly. It was blue, and I loved it and rode it constantly around our little town. Mom sold it while I was in college, so it lasted a long time!
Joining with Not Afraid of Color for I Like Thursday. Hope you have a great rest of the week!
Such a great picture of the newlyweds! I got a very similar bike when I was eight—it was a blue Huffy from Western Auto. I put a lot of miles on it riding back and forth to school and riding around the neighborhood with the other kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember you mentioning that you went to Tulsa a couple weeks ago for a wedding - congratulations to the couple. We used to have bikes like that - but older looking as they were always used - I think we had about 3 of them and we all took turns with them the older kids I mean.
