Turning on my Heels!
I’m resigning myself to the fact that the number of my motorcycle riding days have come to an end – six inches of snow last Saturday and icy roads this weekend. Bummer. Some of my northern friends are facing the same thing! Turning on my heels! I thought I would share some books I’ve read […]
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Almost everyone I know has had a family member or friend fight the battle of breast cancer. My cousin at 29 yrs. old had a radical mastectomy on both sides and eventually lost the battle. My mother-in-law back in the late sixties had the same surgery and lived into her eighties. When I was in […]
Saturday’s Adventure
Hubby and I took a nice drive to Sport Wheels again! On the way we stopped at the Crofut Family Winery where we happened upon a free wine tasting. Saturday’s Adventure Tasted some fine wine. My favs? The River Valley White, Northwood’s Red, and the sweet dessert wine Essence du Nord. Now off to Sport […]
Memorial Purse in Honor of my Mom
Last week I flew into Chicago, joined my older sister on a flight to Houston to see our younger sister. My younger sister’s home flooded back in June while they were on vacation! Think Texas, June, six or so inches of standing water for a week in a house shut-up tighter than a drum. Not […]
Over the Mountains and Through the Woods
I was in Norway with my mom the first time I spotted these Can-Am {I think} motorcycles! We saw a few in Bergen and up in the mountains. Over the Mountains and Through the Woods They look awesomely comfortable for long trips, but how do they handle? Any owners or friends of owners care to […]
Do you know what’s required of you?
Hubby and I gathered with some friends tonight across town. We took the car because of the food and some other things we brought with us. I bet we saw about a dozen motorcyclist out on the road today. Of those dozen I’m guessing maybe four were wearing proper gear! Not smart. Do you know what’s required […]
Call Ripley’s I’ve got one for the record!
I have met one of the coolest motorcycle salesmen ever!! After my last post I was beginning to believe it wasn’t possible. Let me tell you how this all came about … my husband surprised me and brought me to a motorcycle dealer about 30 minutes from our home called the Hitching Post. This dealer carries […]
I am Woman Hear me Roar!
I won two tickets to the Minnesota State Fair on Twitter from @TCHotelDeals {thank-you}. I am woman Hear me Roar! How’d I do it? I re-tweeted a friend’s tweet hoping to give her another chance to win. What a surprise when I received a direct message letting me know I won and asking for my […]
45 Life Lessons and 5 to Grow On
I don’t normally share another person’s post, but I came across this post, 45 Life Lessons and 5 to Grow On and thought it worth sharing! There is a lot of wisdom here and much to ponder. If you are young, reflect on these often; if you are old, it’s not too late to change your […]
Happiness is …
Happiness is… bugs on my helmet because it means I’ve been out riding. [picture source] Happiness is… Happiness is leaving with a full tank of gas and riding until it’s empty. Happiness is coming home sopping wet … because I wore all my gear on a 90 degree day! Happiness is when extraneous thoughts fade away […]
