Summer is Over

Summer flew by and I think I missed the flight. Where oh where did my summer go? I ended my summer taking a trip with Chris to Ark and he did some trout fishing. It was great. Havent spent that much time with him in years. WE really had a grand time.
Then a few days later headed to Fla with Sam ( my daughter in law) and sweet Sydney. That was great fun to have the time with my grandbaby. Just the first of many trip I hope we take. I want to show Sydney our country. While we where down there did some swimming in the pool, built sand castles, looked for crabs, went to the Marie show, and did a dolphin watch trip.
Got home on Sunday and I started school that Tuesday. Everything there has gone great this year. Went to Mountain View Ark for the bike rally and will head to Natchez weekend after next for the state Hog rally.
Labor day week end always bring my nephews south for dove hunting. This yea I had 6 guys staying at my house........oh my was that a treat. We were wall to wall air mattresses but it was fun.
Tomorrow LInda will be coming in for the Pillow Homecoming. Our Katherine is a senior maid. Let's hope she is picked for Queen.
Well those are a few of the things I have been doing. Take care to all..

SUMMER is OVER

The summer break has come to an end. Go back to school tomorrow for teacher work days, then Thursday the students come for half a day. We will be running full speed Friday.
I had a very nice summer. Did several things and had a few great trips. Went on two long motorcycle rides, visited the mountains with Chris, and the beach trip with Ben and his family.Also went over to visit my sister in law for a few days. Have several things coming up on week ends. Rally in Mtn View Ar, then the hog rally in Natchez in Sept.
Also want to go on a trip during Thanksgiving break. Will have a 10 day break and the McIntyre's arent having their get together. Will see what the boys want to do...

Take the time to spend with your family....their is NOTHING else more important.

Summer is almost gone as far of this school year goes. I have enjoyed my summer so far. Had time with Sydney for fun things, road my motorcycle on a few trips, worked in my garden to share with friends, gone to see family, watch movies, enjoyed time out at the Flats, and just sat home some. Soon we will back to the grindstone and kids. I dont mind going back.......gives me a purpose and makes me feel important.
I do hope to go on at least one more ride, might even leave tomorrow. Looks like most of the south will be getting rain and temps in the mountains are up. Oh well when the mood hits.....Ill be gone.
Then Chris plans to come home for a week, so maybe we can go on a short trip.
Hope all of you have had a great summer, gotten to do somethings you love, and just relaxed.

On the Road

It is wayyyyyyy too HOT in the south for this early in the summer. At the moment I am on my motorcycle doing a road trip. Have already covered a little over a 1000 miles. Should add several hundred more before I pull into Silver City tomorrow.
So far I have traveled the Trace going up to Tenn. Did the bike rally in Lynchburg. Camped in the Hisawnee Ocoee River State Park. Road along the Ocoee River in North Carolina. Headed back south through North GA. Went down the Trail of Tears Highway. Saw a lot of beautiful Civil War time period home that had been restored and lots of livestock country.
I really am not looking forward to going home tomorrow, but need to check on the cat, water, wash clothes, pay bills,get bike serviced.....then Im off again.
Has been great just riding seeing new areas. Stopping and doing what I wanted to . I have talked to people every where I stopped. They , like most of you, think IM totally nuts.............so who told them! ! There was one man that heard me talking to a young couple about my trip , he stopped to say how much he admired me for going for it. That most people just talked about what they wanted but I WAS doing what I wanted. ....Life is too short......it is all about getting your priorities straight. Family, Health, God the rest is just crap that can be gone in a big wind.
