I havent written in a while... time sure flies, we have been just coasting is why I guess I havent written, you know in those times of just fine-ness (I am sure that isnt a word) you are not in the valley and you are not mountian top!! just good.. I should tell you about my trip to TX, I went to the Ladies Retreat for the North East TX Calvary Chapels, I rode my motorcycle SOLO... I was a little scared but it was just great!! On the way there I was caught in the biggest tornado like storm, I was riding in IT, I finally got to a gas station that thankfully had a Diner place, so I spent a couple of hours there eating and getting stared at. On the other side of that storm was freezing!!! Well I finally made it to Daingerfield, TX around 4pm and tryed to get warm, it took half the night in the blankets to get warm... that was Thursday on Friday I went to Walmart and got some warm clothes to ride home in.  We rode (in the car) to the retreat... it was great, should I say more, the speaker was Debbie Bryson it was awesome, I met up with all my old friends from Calvary Chapel Mt. Pleasant, TX... we introduced some friends to Starbucks who are not totally addicted ( I am sure someday they will find Starbucks put something in the coffee that makes you want only Starbucks and all the time!!) sorta like cigerattes you know what saying they use to say they were just fine then later we find out people cant quit!! anyhow anyone reading, I am kidding of courseI rode home on Monday when I left at 8am the temp was 38,  anyhow I put on all my clothes and RODE. The only thing I was still freezing about was my hand so I stopped in Shreveport and bought some winter gloves, and the rest of the ride just ROCKED!!!
