My
little
girl...
She
grew
up...
and
up...
and
up!
High School
Gap Year
One
college
year
at Butler
Transfer
Three
years
at
Occidental.
Tomato
Mountain
Study
abroad
Bike
across
America
And
here
she
is...
on
the
precipice
ready
to
launch...
out
into
the
world.
Will she
stumble
and fall?
Or
will
she
fly?
I know
my
Alex.
She
will take
Life
by the
hand...
and
she
will...
dance.
Sun!
at
last!
After
2 weeks
of
solid
rain....
Finally
a blue
sky!
And
I'm
ready
to
bike!
Gotta
get
ready...
...for
Bike
to Work
Day!
I
remember
the first time
I ever
biked
to work.
It
seemed
so
daunting!
Do I
take
Cherrywood?
or
Main
Street?
How do
I
carry
my
stuff?
What
do I
wear?
I leave
fresh
clothes
at work.
So glad
I have
a shower
here!
I
bring
Ripley
up to
my office.
She
keeps
me
company...
during
long hours
at
the
'scope.
The
work
day
ends...
And
we're
ready
to
ride!
The flowers
on
14th Street
are
beautiful!
As are
the
Japanese
maples!
I'm
amazed....
in my
4 1/2 mile
commute...
how
many
churches
I pass!
Some
are
scary!
Some
more
welcoming.
There's
my
church!
and
Tom's.
Rebuilt
after
the
Easter day
arson.
I like
the
reflections
of the
Friend's
church.
How
appropriate...
the
street
names...
in
New
Castle.
Here's
the old
YMCA.
The view
from here
is
classic!
Even
the
street
dandelions
have
a charm.
I
love
my
church-full
bike
commute...
in
my
small
town...
of
New
Castle...
Indiana!
