If you don't, let me introduce you. Curb magic is when you set your junk on the curb and someone mysteriously hauls it away in the dark of night. Or, even better, you haul someone elses junk back to your house as your new found treasure.
We LOVE the magic of the curb. We have disposed of old mowers, a gas grill, furniture, and other things this way. Sometimes, toys randomly appear on our curb too. Shh, don't tell Matt. We have also scored some pretty cool things like shelving, plastic pots, and lawn furniture. (The plastic pots and lawn furniture are still waiting on their fresh coats of paint, oops.)
A few weeks ago we hit the mother load.
For about a year, we have talked about getting me a bike, but neither of us wanted to spend the money. We've even looked in pawn shops and garages sales but did not have any luck. Finally, about two weeks ago, our patience paid off!
Behold, the Green Giant!
Someone in our neighborhood cleaned out their garage and this was on the top of their curb pile! The only thing that needed fixing were the tires; they were flat. Other than that, the bike was in excellent shape. Matt and Richard found it, and Matt was most excited that it had a water bottle.
I call it the Green Giant because one, it is green, and two, it is too big for me. But with my short legs, almost any adult bike is too big. However, I don't care. I can finally ride with my boys and it didn't cost us a penny! I love how God takes care of even the smallest details.
