Wednesday brought perfect weather, and I made the most of it. I’ve been talking for weeks about how I was going to ride my bike to the cute little bakery that opened down the street. Well, no more talk. I did it – I even made a quick stop at the library and returned a book first. It felt as urban as this suburb is ever going to get. The bakery hasn’t been open very long, but I can tell I’m going to love it. Everything I’ve purchased has been terrific, including a veggie full grilled chicken salad, as well as vegan chocolate chip cookies. (So good, and you’d never guess they were vegan.) Yes, I’m a bit obsessed with the cookies, and yes, the owners know me. Already. Bad sign. The only thing that would have made the day better would have been riding over with my buddy, who is living the soccer-crazed life this week. He gets home from camp at 9 and crashes, then wakes up and starts all over again.
See you tomorrow with the construction update (Thursday is this week’s work day – and we should have the “official” refrigerator in, as well as a working microwave, but we’re also cutting a big hole in the ceiling) as well as the Five. I have to figure out a way to sneak out to pick up Domino’s new issue between deliveries and question answering/supervision.

Oh how I wish we had a bakery in our small town. Sounds as if you had the perfect summer’s day!
I remember when “Sweetart” opened in our town (a french bakery with a french owner…”you look beautiful today”~swoon~) and the day he told me (trying to be sincere and kind) “you and your daughter keep us in business..merci beaucoup” And I thought–how many frickin pastries have I bought this last week??!! I started the diet that day. :)
