What's your dream?

[Mr. Bloom]

10 years ago, Silver and I were hiking in the Smokey Mountains. We came across an elderly couple...probably in their 80's...on a very difficult trail. He had a cane in one hand and his wife's hand in the other...and they were hiking that trail together.

We set a dream then of "being that couple".

If I'm poor as dirt I'll still be quite happy in life to be known as "that old lady who rides her bike".

But my dream is another story. That one involves building contractors.

That's my dream, too! The two of us riding our bikes more and more the older we get!! There won't be our grandkids to tell stories to, but there will be friends' grandkids to spellbind! heehee

Of course my goal is for the homeopathic treatments to work so I can actually *ride* my bike this year.

Hugs and butterflies,

A long time ago when I first started riding, I was training in Southern California. I was on a bike trail headed from the beach and had road tires on my mtn bike. I was training for my first century and was doing a lot of miles at the time.

As I was lamenting to myself about the heat and the wind, I hear knobby tires behind me. This man starts to pass but then hangs back to talk. I explained I was training for my first century. This man, who could easily pass me on knobby tires, explained that it was his 70th birthday. He was going to ride 70 miles then go home and drink champagne with his wife.

I always thought that would be what I would want. Of course, DH is welcome to ride with me

My dream is to live car free, grow my own food, ride around on my bike as I age with a dog in the basket and a few running behind like some ecentric old lady. My kids say I don't have far to go!!!

Great! I love to hear doable dreams!

My dream is to have three kids and to go with them every Sunday on a bike trip. We already have one small road bike and we haven't even got married...

And when I get really old I'd like to be fat grandma that likes to cook and that bakes cake every day to her numerous grandchildren and has enough energy to play with all of them. I imagine to still drive a bike but the one with basket and bell and I do it slowly so I could stop near every neighbor and talk about my previous adventures.

Dream for now: To have a mother (she is 84 and healthy as a horse) who acknowledges that I am an adult and am entitled to dreams and goals of my own. To have a mother who supports my goals and dreams and maybe, just maybe, says to me that she is proud of the work I do for the less fortunate families in this world. Ok....I needed to dump that and figured this was as good a place as any. Can you tell I have issues?

Dream for the future: Like many of you, to be OLD and still hiking and riding my bike. With SO.
