Sundays Fundays



Lizzie hasn't missed wearing her Little Miss Sunshine, Sundays Fundays shirt, for a Sunday since she got it over a year ago. Now Sunday's are officially our family fun-day. (I swear she was having fun despite that look. hah!)



Today we decided to take our co-pilot bike trailer on a long-ish ride and explore the Linear Trail here in Manhattan. It was a gorgeous Kansas day and before we knew it we'd covered over 6 miles and then had to pedal back to our car.



Twelve-ish miles is not bad for us and the longest ride for Lizzie yet. And yes...she did pedal the entire way!



Of course we had to stop for a few Instagram shots on an old bridge.



Patrick is Mr. Chippy Paint over on IG. You can find him @elasticity if chippy paint is your thing.






I don't mind stopping for Patrick's chippy paint images 'cuz he's always patiently stopping for my "just-a-quick-look-see" at antique malls 'n thrift shops when we're out and about. I'm tellin' ya....marriage is all about compromise ;)



Mom (me!) insisted on a quick family snapshot at the end of our trail. We all agreed it was a great Sunday Funday....



....and then we polished off our day with "bicycle soup". Hope you had a Sunday Funday too!

Arranging Junk


Assorted rusty furniture wheels


Old photo print blocks


Chippy door hinges

I spent a lot of time this weekend sorting and arranging junk (errrr...found objects) for the vintage shop. More to come 'cuz I've got boxes 'n bins full of random goodness just waiting to be shared with you.

Chippy Paint



Raise your hand if you have a thing for chippy paint! I know I do and from the looks of it so does my Instagram-ing spouse Patrick (aka elasticity). Thought you'd enjoy his collection of images documenting peeling paint that adorns decaying facades in and around Manhattan, Kansas.
