I thought I would do a shorter version of our around and abouts from last week. I have numbered each photo in the corners.
No. 1 & 2: Gregg fancied an ice cream. He recently found a place in Vienna, which is about a half-hour ride from home. They make theirs on the premises. This is our second time and we again ordered a couple of scoops of their coffee, one of the best coffee ice creams we have ever had. It is a fun place. In another section of the shop, they have shelves of items that you can paint, and there are get-togethers to do just that, as you can see from all the people sitting at the table.
No. 3: As for me, I fancied a coffee on the way home, so we went through their drive-thru. I take photos of everything as you probably know by now.
No. 4: We noticed this couple riding along at a steady speed on electric bicycles. Gregg is very interested in them and said to take a photo so that we could see the make. I took several because the grass was high, but I finally got one with the make branded on the side. He is very interested in the ones that fold, so that you can put them in the trunk. Can I see myself on an electric bicycle knowing that I can easily fall out of my shoes, mentioned several times before? Not really but he has not given up yet. When I said as much, he is now looking for electric tricycles for me. Okay my Sweet, don't hold your breath. Am I being a tad naughty, yes but I honestly don't see it happening. I should add, stay tuned.
No. 5: I noticed the shadows on my dog figurines, thought they looked really interesting. See the last sentence in No 3.
No. 6: About 30 years ago I bought this little fox trinket box. He looks a bit cross, but I still enjoy him.
No. 7 & 8: over the last few months we have been watching this large structure being built. Every time we passed by, we had a guessing game as to what it was going to be. Finally, a sign appeared. Neither of us thought of dogs. Those pups are going to have plenty of room to move around but he who is wide eyed with shock, wants to know where do the cats go?
Coffee ice cream AND coffee - you know how to live.

It's a delicious combination isn't it Amalia :) xo
DeleteElectric bikes well a big thing down here once but not so much now.
ReplyDeleteYou ice cream sound alright. I'm vanilla person when it comes to ice cream.
Take care.
I like vanilla too Margaret and haven't tried coffee ice cream in a long time. Theirs was exceptional :) Interesting about the E Bikes your way. They seem to be getting more and more popular here.
DeleteIce cream that's made on the premises is ofter very good! It sounds like a lovely outing. I just love that trinket box with the picture of a fox!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole, this one was first class in taste, a lovely coffee flavor :) Happy you like my trinket box.
DeleteHave a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne, you too :)
DeleteIce cream sounds good. I've always thought that the electric bikes kind of defeated the purpose of riding a bike but then again going up hills they would be quite handy.
ReplyDeleteI love the fox trinket box.
Going up hills these E Bikes would come into their own :) Glad you liked the trinket box and an occasional ice cream treat is a real treat.
DeleteGreat that you have your camera ready to record the goings-on in your life.
ReplyDeleteI use my cell phone more than anything these days, along with an attached strap that goes around my wrist, so the wind doesn't knock it out of the window :)
DeleteHello Denise,
ReplyDeleteI like the dogs and their shadows. That is a huge building for the dogs.
Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
Hello Eileen :) so glad and yes it is. Thank you and I wish you the same :)
DeleteInteresting selection, Denise. Doggy play parks are becoming more popular here. Some are just fields that can be booked by the hour, but they're a good solution for people whose dogs may be reactive.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice and that's interesting about your play parks. It is a very good solution, gives dogs and their human family peace of mind :)
Deletefrom the point of view of living life inside my house, yours is amazing and oh so fun. love the foxy trinket box. right now I would take an outing in my back yard far away from the sound of bobs spoon rattle that calls me
ReplyDeleteIt's all relative isn't it Sandra? I wish I lived closer to be able to help you my dear friend :)
DeleteI'm okay in saying my days of riding a two wheeler bicycle are behind me. I would consider an adult version of a tricycle. I love coffee ice cream! Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteAnd mine too I believe Ellen. I have lovely memories of riding all over Washington DC on my regular bicycle. Well, from one coffee ice cream lover to another, you have a lovely day also :)
DeleteWhat a fun way to show the week!
ReplyDeleteRight before Allie and I moved I was seeing a young guy zipping down the sidewalk now and then on an electric scooter! Looked like the plain scooters that were around when I was a kid--just two wheels, a flat platform to stand on, and handlebar on a tall pole to hang on to--but could it over go fast! Never had seen one before. Pretty cool! An electric bike would be much more comfortable than standing all the time--lol! :) With my balance I'd probably need an electric three-wheeler. ;)
Thanks Rita, electric scooters are very popular here too, the kind you can pick up and leave anywhere. The company uses the GPS to find them. We've seen them on sidewalks everywhere. All you need is your credit card to use them. Amazing how far we've come and only just touched the tip of the iceberg. I've seen small helicopters for personal use on the news. Can you imagine? Yes, most definitely more comfortable than standing all the time, totally agree on that one! And I would definitely need an electric three-wheeler but it's going to take a lot of convincing to get me on one. I can be a stubborn old thing, lol!
DeleteSounds like great ice cream. It's too bad that it's so far away.
ReplyDeleteOr as I would say, it's a good job it's not right around the corner. I'd be in a lot of trouble, lol! :)
DeleteCoffee Ice cream is my favorite....I really like the collage!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Hi Cecilia, wonderful and thank you so much. Sending hugs :)
DeleteBob likes coffee ice cream. I don’t. I don’t like coffee in any form or fashion!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting about you and Bob on coffee ice-cream. Now Gregg loves coffee ice cream but cannot take a cup of coffee just like you :)
