There she was hanging on a great big hook on our back garage wall where she'd been resting for decades: bent up basket, flat tires, and still missing all of her once-frilly tassels.
Funny how I can still remember our firstborn, Tiffani, insisting "I'm a big girl now" and ready to ride without training wheels. I recall anxiously watching her sail down the street without them for the very first time. Tiffani is now almost thirty-two-years-old and so is that old pink bicycle.
Tiff's old bike is coming out of retirement now, bent up basket and all, to represent Granny's House at Columbia Art League's ArtCycle Parade and Contest on June 7th during the annual Art in the Park.
"Bubblin' With Joy" is what we've named our entry and what a fitting title for an old worn out banana seat bicycle that's being transformed into a work of art to showcase the intricate beauty of the precious children who make up our Granny's House family! Our little haven on Trinity Place in public housing is always bubblin' with joy and so is our ArtCycle!
Our "Bubblin' With Joy" ArtCycle will be unveiled at the ArtCycle Parade on Saturday morning, June 7th, 10 a.m. The ArtCycle Parade will begin at Flat Branch Park and end at Stephens Lake Park. All of the ArtCycle entries will be on display throughout the weekend at Art in the Park at Stephens Lake Park.
"Kiona" from Granny's House will be our rider during the parade and I'm certain she'd love to have you all there to cheer her on!
