Knock Three Times! On the ceiling....

....if you want me....

Ohhh...oh... twice on the pipes!

mmmmmm....

*tink tink*

If the answer is noooooo...

Oh, my sweetness!

A few weeks ago my Mom bought a new bicycle! She has a five day bike trip planned with some girlfriends this fall and needs to train so I offered to ride with her. Now, we rode quite a bit when I was a kid but for at least the past 8 years we both haven't been on a bike more than a handful of times... as it would turn out you actually CAN forget how to ride a bike! Well..not really, but trust me, we were both a little awkward the first few times out so just for fun I set up a couple of little obstacles (a pair of boots, a broom an a shovel) and we practiced riding up, over and between...all the while laughing and giggling like school girls... we had a lot of fun....which reminded me of the following scene from the adorable movie "Now and Then"....

UPDATE: Sorry, the video was taken down from youtube. Here is the "Knock Three Times" video ....




Now, every time I get on the bike and head out for a ride with Mom I hear the song, "Knock Three Times" by Tony Orlando and Dawn in my head and I feel like we are both 12 years old, light hearted, footloose and fancy free! You should try it sometime!!

Wear a helmet!

  1. I sing that song in my head whenever I'm painting...it always reminds me of the scene where they're painting the garage door. Does the song start at that scene or am I crazy? I'll have to watch it soon...I LOVE that movie!!! :)
