My husband’s Bicycling magazine came in and he kept telling me I need to read an article about riding through France. Of course many articles talk about bicycling and France, but this was about a woman and her family who bicycled through the Loire Valley that has “400-plus-mile network of (bicycle) paths and somnolent back roads called the Loire a Velo, a route that has become a magnet for small, quirky, cycling-friendly inns” (p. 72). And when I read that I knew why my husband thought of me. Along the way they road past vineyards, wheat fields, and best of all castles; it felt like the most romantic article I had ever read. Not the kissing, flowers kind of romantic, but the rolling hills, glass of wine, touring hundreds of years old chateaus and castles on a bicycle. Driving through the country can be scenic, but the details of life fly by at 60 miles an hour, there is just something about bicycling and making one’s own way along the roads. This article has had me dreaming ever since I read it.

I hate to admit it, but I put Jane Eyre aside when I finished my last reading class. I’ve been doing catch up ever since. When Jane saved Mr. Rochester he left town and Jane is frustrated he has not done more to figure out who tried to hurt him. Jane attempts to carry on and figure out what happened. I have to get on the ball with this because my husband said he saw the movie on the new releases rack at the video store so the pressure is on.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (about 10 – 15 minutes daily)
I don’t have too much to note about this, but my co-worker gives me the Wichita Eagle every weekday except Wednesday and I usually read whatever headline or side story catches my attention. There was a really interesting article about Steve Jobs this week and I had no idea about him being adopted, it kind of brings to light the question of nature verses nurture.
