It’s Fri-Yay Funday and time to do something fun even if it’s turning up the music and dancing with your broom. Seriously, I actually do this or drag my cat or dog for a dance. 🤣 Turn up the music, kick up you heels and hit it. Yes, dance like no one is watching!
So, I looked up the definition of fun on Google because they know everything right?
WRONG!!!!!!!
But, it works for my post so I’m going with it.
You will find many more fun versions on other sites if you care to pull it up.
Fun is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “Light-hearted pleasure, enjoyment, … An 18th century meaning (still used in Orkney and Shetland) was ” cheat, trick, hoax”, a meaning still retained in the phrase “to make fun of”. The landlady …
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE FUN TO YOU?
NOT! Well, the light hearted pleasure, enjoyment is nice but cheat, trick, hoax… not so much!
Seeing red
Riding on my new red Specialized bike just in time for Christmas. It’s fire engine red
just like my vintage Venus bike only loaded with all the bells and whistles; SCORE!
16 gears on the handles to get me up hills,
A perfect fit, adjusted specifically to a tee for my weight and height.
It rides smoothly and shifting gears is a piece of cake.
The wind is at my back, the sun shines on my face, a perfect replacement and my butt’s not sore.
My son took me to check it out on a Facebook add he saw.
He made sure that it fit my body right, examined all its parts so sweet right?!!!!!
And then he said “Ok mom that’ll be 350.00 which was an amazing price for this 1,000 bike.|
I happily handed over the money and he said “I think Kristal’s going to love this”.
WTF?!!!!!!!!
Yes, I’m Seeing Red!
Good thing I love Kristal so much and for the record, he paid for the bike but I have to say, I was pretty excited for a minute.
Have a great Friday and weekend whatever you do! It doesn’t cost anything to laugh and will lift your spirits. Thanks as always for visiting, liking (if you do, of course), commenting and or sharing.
Have fun… or try…. just a little bit or a lot!
Stay Blessed because you are a blessing to me!

Great post!
Good Idea. I wondered why he was being so attentive adjusting just perfectly and staying behind me! Come to think of it he shortened it up a bit, she’s a little shorter than me. I guess i’m the back up. I get it if she doesn’t like it. You get it as a mom… 🤣❤️❤️Thanks Lisa!
Overbearing son? Get it! Wants to have his fingers on every pulse of mom’s life? Got it! Still love him though… yup!
oh honey, you have the same one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and how we love them anyway right?!!!! just don’t put them down as our advanced directive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I may have to rethink that one… on the other hand, I know that I can rely on him to follow my wishes or he knows that I will never, ever leave him alone…
Oh Yeah…you mentioned that.. I’m going with that and will give fair warning!!! ❤️🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣💕
🤣🤣🤣❤️

Oh thst alone makes me happy Maria
1’m So glad you got a little jolt and it produced a smile. Mission accomplished! Have a great weekend! Missed you at yoga but hope you had a great birthday!!! ❤️🤗😘 xo
I took the rare gift of rest and relaxation from the Universe on Wednesday 😉 My body really needed it and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Oh I’m soooo glad.. That’s a great birthday gift wish was most deserved! ❤️🤗
You’re so lighthearted and fun! I could feel your energy through the screen. Are you a loud person? Cause that’d the vibe I get 😅
Oh Shelly, i’m so glad you could feel the vibe!!! 😎! That’s the best acknowledgment! I think I’m a cameleion but I can get loud yeah.. and you?
Lol I’m more on the quiet side if I’m sober 😅 unless of course we’ve hung out a few times before, then my dad jokes keep coming out!
Hahaha.. delightful read this is, Cindy!
lol…., 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it Rishika!!! If I laugh, I hope someone will join me.. Glad you did. ❤️🤣 Happy weekend dear one! xo

Oh so glad you liked it Marlene! Thanks so much for dropping in! Glad you enjoyed this fun light hearted post! Thanks for that kind compliment! I will and you have a great one too! ❤️🤣❤️xo
Me too! I miss Robin Williams so so much. I absolutely loved his portrayal of John Keating in Dead Poets Society.💕
That’s a stunning bike! Lovely write too! 🙌✨
I know such an amazing man!!!! Ya know I didn’t see that..but I will I just love him in anything!!! Good in stand up too. You know I met him once.. he was friends with some of our friends.. such a kind hearted man as well.
I know the bike is awesome and I’m happy you enjoyed the read. Have a great weekend!!! ❤️
You should definitely watch it soon! It’s a heartwarming, sad and beautiful movie. I agree!
Wow, you met him?! That must have been amazing!👏
Of course! You too!❤️
Oh I will for sure now that you are telling me. only once at a large gathering at a museum but we chatted and shook hands in the days we could touch someone.. lol. He was very down to earth and just a regular guy there. It was sad he developed his early illnes.. Thanks much. ❤️
Let me know how it goes! Yeah, he was a remarkable man. Of course! Have a great weekend!💕✨
I sure will, maybe I’ll watch it this weekend!!! thanks for the tip. ❤️🤣
🙌😂💕
❤️🌷🤗
Well, I’m pleased you got to enjoy the bike for a moment! I miss my specialised which is 1000 miles away in my dad’s home. What with covid and Brexit, it might be a while before I see it again. But we have snow so plenty of fun is being had here! Have a great weekend xxx
Yeah, I’m the suragote rider for now so I’ll get a few more in. Oh… I’ sorry you can’t ride it and see your Dad! Someday soon I hope. And oh how the kids love the snow. I imagine that to be so!!!! Drink a hot buttered rum for me.. I used to love to go but it’s gotten crazy pricey and I never want to risk falling although cross country skiing is great exercise! ❤️xoxoxo
I really want to try cross country as downhill is too scary for me! All the slopes are closed at the moment but it looked like they were preparing them today so they could be back open tomorrow…I think the restrictions are lifting slightly🤞
Yes, I agree with you! Oh I hope they open especially since it’s outdoors!! ❤️❤️❤️ fingers crossed! AND TOES!
Great post, Cindy. It is much needed. Sorry about the bike mixup. Maybe Santa has one in his bag for you. Did you make the nice list this year? 😄🤗🎅🏻
Thanks Scott! Hey, It hadn’t occured to me but ya know.. you might be on to something. Hmmmm depends on who you ask.. 🤣🤣 glad you liked it.. (truth is I only go to be with my son).. lol. ❤️
Hahahaha.. this is a fun read. I can feel your excitement actually the bike is pretty charming.

♡ Unfortunately Some of Us Human Beings THINK!!! We Find “Fun” in “cheat, trick, hoax” EveryOne; just like The “Fun” Banana Skin Skit, The Joke is on Them so Stay “Light Hearted” Compassionate and Caring when Seeing SomeOne Get Hurt from Falling Over…until convinced it’s an In-Joke; then Laugh YOUR!!! Butt Off at The Cosmic Joke
…♡♡♡…
Love you found some good definitions and a way to get our heads around the cheats… Light hearted and laughing is key! Thanks for the share. ❤️
Distorting the facts!

Take care 😊
Oh My, Cindy!!! So loved this post!! You were Amazing! Loved the Robin Williams clip – I miss him too. A great Soul!!
Sad he left us so soon! I thought you looking up the definition of “Fun” was cute/funny! Maybe it’s like the Supreme Court’s definition of Porn – We know it when we see it?” LOL Fun, you know it when it happens! Maybe, Dear you would have more pleased with the definition of “Joyous”, we’ll leave vocabulary lesson here! Ha! I could see you smiling and laughing as you wrote this whole post! So cute!
So Sweet of Your son to gift you the bike. Really loved these lines – “It rides smoothly and shifting gears is a piece of cake. The wind is at my back, the sun shines on my face, a perfect replacement and my butt’s not sore.” Love that you tell it like it is!! Oh, my this just reminded me of something I will need to share! LOL

Oh YAY Chuck, I’m so glad you liked it! I kow wasn’t he THE BEST!!!!! Amazing Soul is right but he saw the writing on the wall and I can’t say I blame him.
It just came to me to do that and I liked it too. Yes, I do know when it happens🤣🤣🤣 And you did see through the looking glass that I was having fun writing it and laughing and smiling yes.
Very sweet until the end of course and yes, a sore derrier … now that would have been a better way to say it,… lol!!! will look forward to your share. xoxoxoxo ❤️🤗
Still searching for it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 You make me laugh out loud!!!!!
That sounds like a good thing to me???

This is such a fun post, Cindy. I loved Robin Williams, too. What a great scene. Can you imagine ANY grandma doing that??? The bike looks beautiful. Vince and I want to get ebikes like his son and his girlfriend have. There are tons of places to ride here, but it’s hilly – about a step down from San Francisco! 🙂 Hugs xxx
Glad you enjoyed it Marsha! It was fun to write! I loved him too!!!! Gosh no but I would be that grandma if I’m ever blessed to have G.Babies if they don’t wait too long! Lol
E bikes would be fun! Good workout on those hills. I haven’t attempted that yet. We’ll see! 💕❤️

Very cool bike! I was looking for the video of you dancing with your broom or your dog! LOL

She just got it 2 days ago and was so excited. they went out for a ride and she fell …. oops,. she’s ok tho! 🙏❤️
gad she is okay – and I heard bikes were hard to come by right now so getting a great deal on this one is even cooler
Me too! Yes, I agree with you.. You can’t get free weights right now.. they are at a premium.. so wild!
Yeah and my husband tried to get a kettle bell for someone and it took a little while
