Tracey and I exchaged gifts this morning. She got me fiddle lessons and with a guy in one of the bands she plays with and a book of violin songs. I got her an old english ten speed. She had never ridden a bicycle before so we took it to GGP to begin teaching her. It was a shakey start but once she got over her fear she learned to ride without my help. We looked kind of ridiculous as I ran along beside her, but we made a lot of people smile so who cares. When we went to the bike shop to buy a helmet someone came in and actually tried to buy her bike. The sales guy had to check to see if it was one of their bikes for sale. I must have done a good job cleaning it up! Tracey is in love with it and has named it Sir Theodore Baxter Notingham, Bax for short. She's lookin forward to putting a basket on the front, and going on the Mystery Midnight Bike Ride, and I can't wait to finally learn to play the violin. So far this has been a pretty good Christmas!
