Roxie and Royal Oak Halloween Windows and Such

Today was a beautiful day to take another and maybe our last adventure before winter. Roxie was in a good mood and wanted to feel the air between her spokes.. So to say.. We knew that this might be one of our last trips out until after winter.. The trees were just beautiful with colors.



As you can see from one of the trees down the street from where we live. We decided that we would ride through the streets looking at the trees and to see what adventure that we could get into today.

Well our first adventure came upon us while we were riding down 4th street in Royal Oak. Roxie looked to the right and just had to stop to get her picture with the masks in one of the clothing stores on the corner of 4th and Main.



Oh how she loved the different masks that someone could be wearing for Halloween. She loved all the feathers and colors involved with the masks.. Why she felt that she could wear one of these and go as the "Pink Lady".. Why yes that would be perfect for her, a bike of mystery and intrigue... If only she could entice one of her men.. Ah yes.. a dream she was dreaming when we turned the corner and low and behold another window with masks...



Masks and oh how lovely, shoes... She knew that some of her friends that loved shoes would love this window just as much as she did.. But as she was posing for the picture, a lovely woman was coming by with coffee and stopped to look. We told her that she could pass but she said she wanted to stand there and admire Roxie. She was taken back by her. She started asking questions as to where did Roxie come from, how did she get her name and oh my she was beautiful.. Well, Roxie was beaming by this point. We told her of our blog and how we do Adventures with Roxie. She loved it.. We talked a little bit more and she had to continue on her way to work.. But as she left, she turned and looked at Roxie and winked at her with admiration..

So let me tell you how big of a head Miss Roxie had.. It was difficult for me to get her to continue the adventure. But I was able to entice her to continue because just a few doors down was the bakery.. And low and behold they had Halloween cakes and Roxie just had to peek at them.



A good thing it was closed because Roxie was looking at those cakes with sugar plums dancing in her head.. But I explained how many calories there was and where those calories would land and she felt that maybe it was time to continue on..

So as we continued down Main street looking at the store windows, Roxie came to a sudden halt.. I could feel the excitement in her.. Something had caught her eye.. And you know when that happens we will be going her way. Well the thing that had caught her eye was the Ed Hardy mural. All of a sudden her sexy adventurous self came out of her and she was heading for the wall.. She just had to have her picture taken with her sexiness and adventurous self.



Notice that now she turns her head.. She says that is her better side for pictures and gives her a chance to show off her eyes.. It took me a while to pull her away from there and to get her to calm down.. She was talking about tatoos and such.. What to do with such a bike. I tell you that deep down she has this little rebel in her waiting to come out at times..

Well I got her to continue down the street. But what I have found out that no matter if you use the cross walk, you have to be careful.. Roxie almost had her first accident. It seems that cars do not always understand that they must STOP when a pedestrian or a bike is in the cross walk, going across the street. But we finally made it to safety and continued our adventure.

We turned down Washington street and was doing our normal window shopping again when all of a sudden she came to a stop.. Well let me tell you, I could not believe why she stopped.. We were in front of the Bravo Bra store and in the window was a Witch. Now this was no ordinary Witch. Roxie was taken back by her. She said I bet I'm as big as she is.. Well I just did not know what to say. So Roxie felt that she wanted to pose side by side to prove that she, Roxie of Royal Oak also had something to brag about.. So I took the picture.



As Roxie turned toward me, she gave me that wicked smile saying. "I'm just as built as her.." What can I say..

Now as I was trying not to laugh, I told her that we must be going it was getting late and General Hospital was going to be on soon. Well that got her going since this has become one of her favorite soaps also.. She was thinking how Jason or Sonny would ride her.. Oh that girl and her dreams..

So as we were going home, we took some side streets and low and behold we came upon the following scene...



I could hardly keep her in the street.. She got so excited and wanted her picture taken.. She said, "Yes.. this is Halloween".. And then as we were leaving she looked again and got more excited and just had to have another picture taken of her with a Halloween favorite...



"Freddie Kruger.... Yes, Yes, Yes..."

I tell you this girl is attracted to strange people and things.. For me, Freddie is a little too much, but Roxie, what can I say.. So I let her sit there for a little while and then told her we had to go.. As we left, she waved good bye in her bikish kind of way.. She yelled, "Until next Halloween, Freddie..."

We continued on our way home with no more stops since it was close to GH coming on. But I could tell that Roxie was satisfied with her adventure and was going to be a good girl from there.. We pulled into the drive but I could tell that she was a little down. But I could understand it, this adventure may be the last and she has had such a good time. I told her that just maybe the weather will be good a day or two next week and we could go for maybe the last ride.. She was happy to hear that.. But then she also remembered that Halloween is this Saturday and wanted to know what the people had picked for her.

Well we only had 3 people to let us know which one of the costumes they liked.. So right now, if no one else leaves their vote, it's the Pink Bunny that is winning.. Oh let me tell you how thrilled she was on that.. She said that she could show her sexiness with those rabbit ears.. And that it was so colored coordinated.. She was exited once more..

So until our next adventure (hopefully next week if the weather is good), thanks for the votes and hope you enjoyed our adventure today.. Happy Halloween to all.. Oh and Roxie wanted to say, "Hope you all get some type of treats.."
