Sijo-Observations

Rocking on the cool porch, listening to bird's random songs Bicycle club trekking up a steep hill, some exhillarated Some walking, cheering offered; hero ninety four year old!! * note: I got to see a large group of bicylers going up our road today, around 1000. They had rode 35 miles, I was impressed!!

Doris, it is quite amazing what some folk are motivated to do. 35 miles is quite the ride. YF4L, God Bless, mj

Wow, what a picture, Doris!! I'll have to buy myself a new bicycle. When I was at school I used to drive to Luxemboug and France by bike and staying at youthhostels. That was really great and once I overtook a car on my racing bike (but long time ago!!). Thank you for your war comments and keep writing!...Gert
