I just recently had a birthday. I'm 62 now.   I received some gift cards and money for my birthday, and I spent it a couple of weeks ago on a brand new Mtn Sport 18-gear bike. 

My daughter and my two grand children had stopped by, while they were out shopping.  We decided to go together to Walmart.  While we were there, my almost 10-year old grandson, Cody wanted to go to the toy department. So we browsed around, and I wandered down to the bicycle section.  I found a beautiful purple and white bike.  I went back and told my daughter to come and see what I had found.  She and the children came back with me, and we looked at a couple more bikes.  I really wanted a beach cruiser, but found out I'm too short for the ladie's 26'' size, but my legs are too long for the girls 24" size. So, I settled on the one I had fallen in love with in the first place, the purple one, my favorite color. 

When Cody realized that I was getting a bike for myself, he said, " Mema, you're too old for a bike!"

Don't you just love the honesty of children!  What a sense of humor that boy has! 

The first time I got on it, I wondered about that a bit, myself, was I too old?  I was a bit wobbly, and a bit shaky, and out of breath, after only a 15 minute ride around the apartment complex.  But, it was fun. 

I think Cody will be glad I have it, too.  Now when he comes to visit me, he can bring his bike and we can ride together...even if it is only around the apartment complex.
