Have been out of school now a few weeks. Went on a ride to Longview, Texas this past week end for Party in the Pines rally. Boy was it hot in Texas. Had a great ride, rally was not all that but fun anyway. Since I got home have been looking at what I want to do next. Got my camping gear out today for my motorcycle. Put the little tent up ,checked out the air mattress, and getting all ready to ride. Think Ill take a ride up in the mountains and just camp where ever the mood hits me. When you dont have to pay for rooms can travel cheap and looks like weather next week will be good. Thinking Ill ride up the Trace into Tenn. do some camp sites and just see where the roads take me.
Ill post later what I decide and when IM leaving.
Have a wonderful week ...

SUMMER IS HERE..........

Cant believe it has been almost a month since I posted on my blog. But this is always my busiest month with school ending, annual, etc. I spent a lot of time working on and finishing the annual. Then at school there was Awards Day, Athletic Banquet,exams, and grades to complete. All is done and now Summer......YEA ! !
Have several things to get done, before I can really get into summer mode. Doctor check up , dentist check up and getting my bike serviced for riding will fill the next several days.
Hopefully next Friday Ill be heading out on my ride to "PARTY in the Pines Rally". Lets hope the weather stays nice for this one. Had to cancel Helena due to storms. I need to get away so looking forward to this. Have asked friends to go , but Ill be going alone. That doesn't bother me any more, except starting to think I stink or something. Guess people just don't like my company :)
Also this month brought concern about Ben having to have a hip replacement. After his visit and MRI they changed his treatment. Got a hip injection yesterday, meds, and will check it out in a few weeks then see if scoping will be necessary.
Spent Mothers day week end down with Chris and that was great. He took me out to eat steaks and rest of the time we just visited. I enjoyed it greatly.
Yesterday I had Sydney for special time with my baby girl. Then she called me this morning crying for Gammie, talk about breaking your heart. So might be going to Cleveland later to pick her up.
Have a great week end .......

GREAT RIDE

Today after school went for a ride. Decided I would ride to Yazoo and go on some of the back roads to see the tornado damage up close. It was unbelievable....houses , trees, cars....all just pushed up in piles like broken twigs. Seemed like I rode in it for miles. That thing went up and down hills missing nothing in its path.
There is no better time of the day to ride than at sunset. When the sun is setting over the tops of the trees, it forms a halo on the tree tops like a crown to GODs work. As I ride my mind goes totally free.........my sense of smell picks up the sweet odor of honeysuckle in full bloom, dirt as fresh as a summer shower, the fragrance of the broken trees from the tornado gives a spectrum of many woods. Passing area of woods the temperature in the air get a swift chill, this awaken me and brings me back into the moment.
Then I'm home ...the ride is over....and back to reality.
Have a great day.

Mother's Day is this coming Sunday. This is a time for all children to show the most important person to them , just how much they appreciate them.
As all children do they seem to overlook all the things that MAMA does for them. That Mom is the one and only person that is there for you NO matter what. She will stand by you, wipe your forehead when you are sick, put band aids on those Bow bows, and cry at your wedding. When you call ...she comes running. She is the one you can talk to about anything in the middle of the night. When you need a place to stay in the middle of the night...she gets up to unlock the door.
Your mother..........give her all you can . One day she will be gone.....then you would give anything just to have that one more talk or hug.
Mothers...they are your rock. Just tell her you love her and remind her how important she is to you.
Mama ... I love you even though you are gone. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY......you would be 92 now.
