Well, I am not doing so well at keeping up my blog, am I? Its been a busy few days. I think things are just going to get busier through the fall. It will be good though. Lots of great things lay ahead. Rich and Tina's wedding, hopefully lots of motorcycling, camping, and just enjoying life in general. Dennis taught last weekend and weather wasn't so good, rained Friday through Monday. Last night was a little chilly for some. Dennis was teaching again, so I went ahead and met up with the GWRRA as they were just eating out in Altoona. Tonight, we are meeting up at TR's sportsbar in Clive for their pork chop dinner. Great food, reasonable, and tons of funship! We never seem to leave there without having first stuffed ourselves and laughed till our sides hurt. That is what it is all about! Enjoying life.

Dennis has guard this weekend, so if we ride, it would have to be in the evenings. We might ride a little tonight before TR's will depend on wind, they say it is going to be bad today. If you have ever ridden a motorcycle in the wind, you know what I am talking about.

With him at guard I better get back in the groove again, cleaning the house and scrapbooking. Can I get it all done, heck yes...he teaches thursday night, so that would be a good time to clean. Saturday morning there is a meeting with one of the groups, will do that, come home and have some lemonade or sweet tea and scrappppppp

I will also work on uploading pictures to both my blog and facebook.

Finally Blogging

Well, here it is April 19, 2010 and I don't believe I have posted since February 2009. Ok, time to make a change here. This was one of my goals for 2010, along with getting some scrapbooking done, learning some things on the digital camera, making cards, doing a cross stitch project, etc. I have managed 53 pages, and it feels really good, need to get back to work and try to get more done. I have made a few cards and want to do more, that is about as far as I have got.

This past weekend was a wonderful weekend, we were able to get on the motorcycle for our first trip of the year. We did about 600 miles, we went to a rally in Weston, Missouri with lots of friends. Several went down on Friday night, 11 of us, more came in on Saturday morning. The motel we had was wonderful, he had all of us in one wing, and we had doors to the outside for our close to the door bike parking, and they had hall doors, of which we seemed to keep them open and were back and forth room to room. We had tons of food, and lots of stories. We also did some planning for the coming year. Its gonna be wonderful! The weather this spring has made for some good riding and for that we are thankful.

Dennis and I now have a certificate to go to a beautiful Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Weston and I personally hope we can use it in the fall or winter. Great way to get away for a bit. The area is really beautiful and lots to see and do.

Last Fall my little 'shitzu/yorkie' was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. I am pleased to say, she is reacting to treatment very well. I didn't really expect to still have her, but she is our baby. Dennis had both dogs groomed while we were gone this weekend, and they were at the Doggie Daycare. She came home with two cute things in her ears that almost look like little flowers. Max came home looking so old with his gray showing through, but he is feeling better with those mats and long fur gone! He had a cute doggie scarf on, and he enjoys those, somestimes we find him just carring it in his mouth, while attached to his neck. Silly boy!

Looking forward to Rich and Tina's wedding coming soon, in July! WOW! I can't wait. Its going to be so much fun!

Well, Nothing much more for now, I will get busy and upload some pictures of things we have done.
