The day started gray, cold and still. After a near sleepless night, fraught with worry about real or imagined medical concerns*, the sky fit my frame of mind.
Irregardless of the physical circumstances, it was time to feel Delta wind on my knees. After a quick rundown of all the mechanical essentials to ensure safety the metal steed was ready.
We had made arrangements to meet up with a new friend 'Nemo' for a lunch feast from the Honda CB1100 Forum that my husband participates in.

Of course, the first words out of my mouth at the restaurant parking lot was "Did I find Nemo?" Being the great guy he is, Nemo chuckled warmly and, on that happy note, we all enjoyed a scrumptious hot meal at the Steffens Restaurant in Kingsland, Georgia.

After the noon repast, induced by a picture perfect sky my state of being improved.
Yours Truly with my
2012 Suzuki V-Strom DL 650
After 150 miles of twisty piney flats, abandoned farm houses, flowing rivers and swamp overlooks, I was beginning to show signs of fatigue. I parted ways with my companions and headed back to the stable to enjoy hot tea and snacks.
By the end of the day, we had an orange tinged sunset with thin streaks of gray set against a stunning azure blue sky. What a magical way to close the day.
*By the by, I am happy to note that the Duavee is working splendidly!
Thank you everyone for your prayers, concern and encouragement.
You are appreciated more than words can express. xx
That is a good day, after last night and all the bad news. I want to get out and feel the freedom we still have for now.

ReplyDelete"After 150 miles of twisty piney flats, abandoned farm houses, flowing rivers and swamp overlooks..." That sounds AWESOME! Makes me wish I could ride, but instead of tea and snacks at the end of my ride, I'd be nursing road raspberries after laying it down to avoid the cows.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you got that great day out...it sure is beautiful around you!!
