Baptist Village Event

Today, Hubby, I and several other motorcyclists from local Christian biker clubs, donned riding gear and sloshed our way in the pouring Autumn rain to Baptist Village in Waycross, Georgia. The event was a miniature Bike Show for the elderly that reside there. They lined up inside a pavilion while we rode by to the hail of cheers and applause. Afterwards, the residents that could brave the rain, came out and looked at the various wheels represented there.


This was a rare moment of sunshine. I am chatting with a new "biker" Brenda. She did really well for being on a cruiser.

That's my set of wheels on the left in a sea of Hardly-Goes-At-Alls. *grin*

I had so much fun adding a little sunshine to someone else's day. I hope we can do this more often.

And, just in passing, my husband snapped the above photo on Wednesday. One of our farm neighbors decorated their field for Halloween with a Minion from the cartoon "Despicable Me". Isn't that adorable? Now I want one. Guess it's time to get out the scarecrow's, pumpkins, and Fall wreath's. We're having homemade chicken chili sprinkled with cheese for lunch, then homemade pizza for supper. I love this time of year!

Hope your day is blessed too.

  1. What a wonderful happy post. Thank you Sparky. This cheered me up. Especially after reading Lulu's post about re-cycling, and my comments there.

    God bless.

  2. @Victor S E Moubarak ~ Are you kidding?! You should have seen my rebellious comment. They don't call me Sparky for nuttin'. :) Anyway, one of the most special things to my heart is the elderly. I like to make them (and others) happy and feel loved. I'm glad that my post brought cheer to others. Hope your day is blessed too. ~:)
