Thanks Warhol. I think.

Meet...Carol.



This bicycle, painted by Warhol as a fundraising project for a Community Improvement Incentive, sat sweetly Uptown and I Hearted her.
Alas, I did not win her a spot in my Garage.
(Lucky for her, Coach's garage is a Farm Boy Accustomed to an Old Shed Nightmare. Can I get a Hands to the Roof Head Nod to that, Neighbors?!)

Fortunately, tucked deep in our Nightmare, was my Grandmother's bike. Thirty-Plus years young. Badly worn with love and several, slowly pedaled miles traveled uptown.

We shipped her to the Artist's Den/Shed/Good Time Cove and ordered a Professional Retro Update.
My Request...
I wanted her Apple Green and Happy.


(Still missing, 1 Much more comfy Seat)

As a Pleasant/Bitter Reminder of Warhol and My Tru Luv Husband, Coach....
I named her Sadie.



Isn't she the cutest thing, Eva!?

Last night, we stumbled onto an unfortunate rash like side-effect to my New Baby.
With The Kid at a Grandma All Boy Slumber Party.
And Tink, banished in shame to Grammy's with her too short legs.
Coach, Coco and I went for a bike ride.

The weather, Summertimeish perfect.
The Trees humming with the chatting Locusts.
(A melodic harmony, I fondly associate with my childhood evenings in Uncle Jim's front yard.)

Coach and I peddled in unison... smiling fondly... gazing sweetly at Coco... waving kindly at townies in their perfectly manicured yards (Duh...only Coach waved)....and completely, painfully, not at all oblivious, to our Coolness Factor...
Plummeting in Super Sonic Speed...
In a Giant, Echoing Thud....
on the pavement below us.

In Conclusion:

She's a beaut. You could fit at LEAST a six pack of beer in that basket. Cool factor instantly restored.

Carol is a dream, but Sadie is cute too. I am really dreaming of a cute one that is an apple red, but of course Jonathan thinks they are dorky! But I still want one!
