Morning Everyone!!
I’m having to make do with the cell phone shot since I’m still having problems with internet from the tablet way out here on the Middle Peninsula. It’s a glorious morn!
It’s All Good!
Waking up to thunder and lightning at 3am had me wondering if I’d be pulling out in a downpour. By the time I got up at 6am, the rain had stopped, and now that I’m ready to go, it looks like I’ll stay dry … for at least awhile.
I’ll be posting along the way. Thanks for your enthusiasm about the ride – I’d love to hear from you!!
(this is me on the old bike from the 2010 50th Birthday Ride)
WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!
Washed, Waxed, Ready!
One of the things on my pre-trip “to do” list was clean the bike. All those rides in the rain had left my motorcycle pretty much a mess. As yesterday afternoon headed toward a beautiful evening, I gathered the necessary supplies and headed outside. To be honest, I would have preferred to just ride, but there was work to be done!
I’ve never named a bike that I’ve owned, nor have I assigned a gender to one. That’s just not my thing.
Somehow though, “it” just doesn’t sound right for something this pretty!
I know you all may be getting tired of my pre-trip excitement, but I just can’t help it!!!
Now … if I could just figure out how to save photographs from my camera SD card to my borrowed Samsung Galaxy Tablet, I’d be a happy woman!
2 More Days!!
Ever Present
The everpresent rain
has challenged me in my trip preparation
to focus on the positives
of this constant moisture
3 More Days … Hoping for sun but will ride no matter what!
More Than Book Group
A group of friends, and lovers of books, has been meeting in my home once a month for the past 13 years. As many as 18 and as few as 4 have gathered to discuss the month’s chosen book, after which the conversation turns to movies, current events, and life. We’ve gone “off site” to watch plays, such as The Vagina Monologues, to search for authentic Chinese Food, and to taste wine.
And sometimes we’re able to meet on the porch.

What is it About Water?
No matter where I am, if water is near by, I am in it!
Whether to swim, float, stick my feet in, walk over, or sit by.
Soothing, restoring, fulfilling, and just plan fun!
During my ride last weekend, I had the chance to walk over an old steel bridge, to play in a bubbling creek, and to get soaked in a short downpour. More bridge shots will come in a later post, but for now … enjoy the rejuvenation of water. I sure did!
9 Days ’til Vacation and the Annual Ride!!!
For the Love of the Ride
You ride in the heat and the cold; the sun and the rain.
But sometimes you pull over and wait out the storm.
All for the love of the ride.
Sidewalk Art: Would You Have Stopped to Shoot?
Well, maybe not art exactly. Just some oil on the sidewalk, made more colorful by the late afternoon light and the recent rain.
So … would you have stopped to take the shot?
Life. Is. Good.
Not that there aren’t roadblocks and hurdles, but those challenges allow us to appreciate the peaceful, soulful times.
I am a fortunate woman.
