Spring Has Sprung & I Am Ready!!!!!

Well, I haven't written for quite some time. There have been a ton of things happen in our lives since I last posted. I will try to recap a few of them. Garrett and Cage had combined birthday parties at the Hutchinson Zoo on the 11Th of April. Garrett turned two and Cage turned three. "Nana and Papa really don't have baby grandchildren anymore". I can't even believe that Logan will be 13 in June.

Besides the birthday parties, Logan and Nana did some partying of our own. We went to a Christian concert in Wichita. There were five bands for a general admission price of $10 each. We stopped to get Subway and stood in line for quite a while. Logan had never been to a concert before and he had a blast. It is really neat to be able to take your grandson to his first concert.

Recently, I traded off my little "runt" motorcycle and got a REAL bike. On March 22nd we went to Alef's Harley-Davidson in Wichita. They were having a "Sportster Sale". (We had already decided that with my Fibromyalgia, that a Sportster was about the biggest bike I could handle) Now I tell you this will all honesty, we just went there to look. I had my eye on a Sportster in South Texas, even though it was a long trip, I really liked the bike. It was a 2007, black, sleek machine with 9500 miles. Well, we rode to Wichita on the Ultra "Tracy's bike" and walked onto the show room floor and there he was.............. 2008 Harley Davidson XL883L with 6200 miles and $500 less..........WHAT A DEAL. Since there was a sale going on and that was the only 883L they had, I wouldn't get off of it until we talked to our salesman. We talked and made the deal that day. I made a date to pick it up the next Saturday. Well, wouldn't you know it, we had a late in the season snow storm on Friday night and Saturday. 18 inches of snow. I had to wait another week to pick it up, but it was all worth it.

I had taken that Friday off. Tracy is working four days a week now, so off we went. I was a little apprehensive, since I had never ridden a bike with forward controls. So, I took it for a spin around the building. I ABOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I have ridden my bike whenever I can. Back and forth to work. To Wichita twice and around town. I am SO riding it to Texas next month for a ride we have planned. Probably just three or four bikes. Until next time, "keep the shiny side up". :)

A Little Stress Relief

It is snowing today. This would be terrific if we were in a ski lodge in front of a fire or under a blanket with a good book. Unfortunately we have to get out and go to work and the store, etc. Oh well, this to shall pass and Spring will be here before we know it.

Riding motorcycles is our therapy and as you can tell by my rambling, the weather hasn't exactly cooperated.

We are going through a merger at work (I work for a brokerage firm). My doctor says my blood pressure is too high and I need to cut my stress. So much so that I gave up my business. I want to concentrate on getting through this merger with my sanity, so I sold my inventory and supplies to a woman who lives in Tampa Florida. Now I can spend more time with Tracy, our kids and grandkids. I am still the secretary for the AWANA Club at church on Wednesday. I will at least finish this year.

I am thankful Tracy and I still have jobs with the economy like it is. No matter what happens and what we have to endure, God is good!!!!
