So I had to go to my parents house today. When I walked in, it smelled wonderful. My dad was cooking steak, homemade french fries, and fried onions. Since it was just about finished and I don’t get a home-cooked meal too often, when he asked me if I would like to stay, I didn’t have to think about it twice. It was delicious! My mother was home but not feeling well. She knew she wasn’t feeling the greatest so she kept her distance. I even got to see my brother before I had to leave.

When I got home from my parents, Rosie looked at me with anticipation of going for a walk. Since the weather was so beautiful today I had to take her and get some fresh air. It was so nice to see so many people out enjoying the unusual spring like whether for the beginning of March. I noticed there were so many people taking a bike ride. Until my birthday this last December I have not been on a bike for years. I have not had enough lung capacity to go for a bike ride. I couldn’t even go half a block while wearing oxygen on a higher setting. But Travis bought me an electric bicycle. I love the color too! It was on the silent auction at the cystic fibrosis gala in November. He won it and stashed it away for three weeks when he surprised me for my birthday. There was a day right before Christmas that the temperature got to 50° so I thought I would take it for a test ride. After being gone for quite some time Travis called to make sure I was okay. I ran into the house gave him a big hug and said I feel like a kid again I can ride a bike! Even though it’s more like a scooter and I don’t have to manually peddle, it still feels like I’m riding a bike.
