Happy New Year!


May the sands of time
Be your stepping stone.
May the sigh of the wind
Guide your Course.
May the New Year
Bring you Peace, Love,
Joy and Prosperity.
Cherish those you love,
Be thankful for those you newly meet.
And keep the path between them
Open to your heart.
Happy New Year Y'all!

How Was Your Christmas?


The tree was decorated with our traditional bright shining baubles and sparkley lights. It was beginning to be bitter cold outside. The next day was incredibly wet and windy. Alas, no snow though. But we remained nestled inside close to a heat source and hot tea.


The house was filled with the mouth watering aromas of cooking turkey and other goodies. It was so tempting that even the dogs were eager with anticipation.


One advantage to being married to a cook, suddenly, like magic, the food appeared! It was good too. :) Even the doggies got a little plate of lean turkey and a vegtable.

So I pray that everyone had as happy and peaceful a Christmas as we had.

Dear Santa


Think he'll bring what I really want this year?

Kawasaki KLR 650

Yeah, big surprise I'm sure ... that I want another motorcycle. :) Let me rephrase that ... I want to ADD another motorcycle to the garage. Hubby (my Santa) said that we may be able to rearrange things so that this could be a reality.

That's a lot of "if's" but I can dream, can't I?

Looks pretty in blue, doesn't it?! My current Suzuki V-Strom is in this very same blue and CC's. The Kawasaki KLR 650 is a street legal dirt bike, usually referred to as a Dual Sport Bike. I've been hankerin' for one for quite awhile now. You can read all about the bike here. It's a relatively cheap bike at about $5,999. And it's light as a feather too, with a curb weight at 432 lbs. I'll bet it would just dance through the hair pin turns I like to take. With that seat it's not a touring bike to be sure but it would be fun on these country back roads around here.

You know my philosphy: one can never have too many bikes or guns.

Well, I hope every one's Christmas is full of joy and good cheer. And if you see Santa, put in a good word for me, would ya? I need all the help I can get. Tell him "I can explain ..." [giggle]

God bless!

Our Thanksgiving Get Together


Don, Cindy, Bob, and Amberlee (insert)

It's been awhile since I've posted, hasn't it? I was tempted to stop blogging but I do enjoy sharing, even if I don't get many comments. And it is all about ME anyway, huh? *giggle*

We traveled to one of my in-law's homes for Thanksgiving. Had a splendid time! Aren't they a lovely family? Ok, I'm prejudice but I think they're the greatest.

Amberlee is growing like a weed. She's so bright and fun to be with.

Her brother, Bob, is quite ill right now. He was sleeping almost round the clock and had no energy, so, his mom took him to the doctor. Turns out he has thyroid cancer, type as yet undetermined. What a shock! Well, we'll deal with it together. He goes for a biopsy next week so that treatment(s) may begin.

Hubby and I are doing well. He has completely recovered from his partial knee replacement therapy. We take a two mile nearly every day. He's doing so good.

Doggies are all healthy. I'm amazed that our 12 year old Maxie still acts like a puppy many times. She's the healthest miniature schnauzer I've ever had.

So, for the most part, we are doing well. What life throws us, we have learned to deal with it. We have much to be thankful for. I pray that all my blogging friends are healthy and happy.
