June 14, 1980

And now...

Still friends!

I'm amazed at how the time goes by sometimes. The nice thing for us is... we still LIKE each other. lol!!

It's also pretty cool, that we'll be able to celebrate this weekend with our first ride together since Harley's accident last May.  My title will be here tomorrow, so I'll be able to finally seal the deal.  Woo Hoo! I've not posted pictures yet, because I was afraid I would jinx myself.

Give me a couple days... I'll have plenty to share!

As my sweet friend KT always says... Happy Trailzzzzz!!!

Back in the saddle again,

FRIDAY FUNNY - "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"

An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they'd shared, where Andy had carved... I love you, Sally.

On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money... fifty thousand dollars!

Andy said, "We've got to give it back."

But Sally replied, "Finders keepers."

She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.

The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on their door. "Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"

Sally said, "No".

Andy chimed in and said, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."

Sally responded, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile".

The agents turned to Andy and began to question him. One said, "Tell us the story from the beginning."

Andy started to explain, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday..."

The first police officer turned to his partner and said, "We're outta here!"

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY YOU SENILE SENIORS!!

PIC OF THE WEEK - 30 YEARS AND COUNTING!

JUNE 14, 1980... 30 YEARS AND COUNTING!
Today, we celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary! I drug out the ol' album yesterday and reminisced over this wonderful day, so many years ago.

JUST MARRIED...
This has always been one of my favorite pictures of us that day. I think it has something to do with the way he looked at me so intently while I talked! BTW... things change. LOL!

Getting married is great... if you pick the right one! No one ever said it's easy, but if you find the one who makes your heart sing and your soul complete... your a winner. Sometimes, we have to try more than once to find our match, but I truly believe... there is someone out there for everyone. You just have to find them.

We had a wonderful weekend spending time on the Glides! We rode just over 300 miles on Friday and probably half as much on Saturday. (We'd have went farther, but a flat rear tire made us head for home quicker! More on that later...)

I'm very happy we got to enjoy our weekend doing what we love to do. Now if I can just get through this week, I'll be doing great! There's another weekend right around the corner! Have a great Monday everybody!

Dear Diary,

I'm in love... still. H and I just celebrated another year together, making the grand total 29 years now. Some would say that's a long time, but surprisingly enough, it doesn't always seem that way. After this many years, he still puts a smile on my face keeps me laughing. He knows how to make me happy and today especially, he went out of his way to show me.

It's been about two weeks since I've been able to ride my Glide and I was craving some road therapy. After our road trip to Iowa, we turned around two days later and went to Panama City for the weekend . H rode his Street Glide down after work Friday, but since we had to take the pups, I loaded us all up in the Mazda and went down early. I like to get there in the afternoon so I can go and have Happy Hour with my gal pals.

A ride that was planned for that Saturday pizzled out due to various reasons, so I was a little disappointed about that. Our buddy had a Shovel Head all ready for me to borrow, but since the ride didn't pan out, I hung out with my girlfriends, doing lunch and lazying around.

When we got ready to leave and come home Sunday, H came to me and said, "You better go put your boots on." Not understanding what was up, I asked why and he responded, "If your gonna ride my motorcycle home today... you better put your boots on."

Woo Hoo! He didn't have to tell me twice! We loaded everything up and headed for home... him squished up in my little Mazda with two dogs and a bunch of crap, while I glided home on his beautiful blue Street Glide. With the sun in my face and wind on my knees, I was feeling that old feeling that's been missing the last couple weeks. Finding that feeling on a sweet ride like H's was even better.

I know it was a big deal for H to let me ride his baby. Some would wonder why, but other riders would know. It's a very personal thing. Your motorcycle is not something some can easily share. The fact that he was confident enough in my ability makes me feel very proud, and I love him for showing me that.

I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary present than getting to spend a nice afternoon, rumbling down the highway, rejuvenating the soul.

Thank you for the ride honey... I love you!

TRUCKIN' IT TO IOWA

Harley and I leave for Iowa today. Even though I'm extremely disappointed we're not taking the motorcycles, I'm feeling really good about going home and seeing my family. My parents are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary and we (all their kids) are going to go home and throw them a big party!

I hope to get online and drop a quick "Hi from Iowa" post while I'm there. It's a shame I can't just hop on the Glide and go see the Iowa Harley Girl and Fasthair while I'm that close. But then if I did that, I would have to swing over and say hi to that cheese head in Wisconsin (you know who you are!). And while I was at it I could ride a little further north and see Mr. Motorcycle too! But... I guess it's a good thing I wont have my sweet ol' girl there with me. My family obligations will keep me tied up and pretty much close to Dubuque for the four days I'll be there.

I hope you all have a great rest of the week and enjoy your weekend. Get out there and ride, and put a few miles on the road for me too!

See ya'll next week!
