Play Always: April 2010
http://playalways.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Spring Training (or lack thereof). We have been so busy. It has felt like we haven't had nearly enough time for all of the things going on in our life in the past few weeks. We did manage to ride the tandem once this past week, to see the Wailing Jenny's at the Calvin Theater in Northampton. We also got groceries after the show and used our new panniers to carry them all home on the bike! We will be starting our cross country ride. Here are a few things to do before we leave:.

Sunday, January 24, 2010. A Taste of the Tandems! Recumbent tandems that is! We got to test ride two different kinds of recumbent tandem bicycles today! We drove to Connecticut to visit a nice couple who has been riding recumbent tandems for years. The first one we tried was a Longbikes Eliminator. The second was the RANS Screamer. Our first ride on a tandem recumbent! Sunday, January 24, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). In 2010, we took the summer and biked across the country! A Taste of the Tandems!

Twice as many moments: October 2014
http://jennyboas.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. It's been a rough few weeks, with lots of little happy and fun moments thrown in here and there. We all had a cold, followed by another cold, or maybe it was the same one that just changed and lingered. I had it the worst and am only now starting to feel mostly all better. Brett had a birthday! Timmy left for Arizona a few weeks ago and we miss him. We loved having him around and I hope whatever he decides to do next will bring him back to visit us again soon! Can you find Maya?

Twice as many moments: December 2014
http://jennyboas.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 14, 2014. It's been a while since I've done an update! Things are pretty good around here for the most part. The Springfield house has been a lot of work this past month and that has taken up most of our free time. But, we're close to having all the units rented, so with some luck, that should lessen soon. Maya and Ella's snowmen. If you listen carefully to the rain, it sounds like music.". I missed you while I was sleeping." (to me after her nap). M: "That was me.". M: "Why do we have t...
