Scooter

This is the part of the year that I like best. It's hot, but usually not too hot. It cools off in the evening. I drink iced tea without the ice, and no sugar either, and it's actually sort of refreshing. I don't feel guilty if I move a little slow.

But now I can move a little faster -- with wheels!

My new scooter:

I can coast downhill to the store and walk/scoot back. Or I can walk uphill to another store and coast back down. I can't believe how much time and energy it saves. It'll be even more fun after I build up a little strength.

Walking to the store and back on a hot day deserves an ice cream bar. Scootering doesn't. I haven't tried a cola-flavored popsicle yet. Must be time for a walk.
