HOG's in Arkansas

Arkansas is probably one of THE BEST place's to own a HARLEY. The roads are twisty and winding; the scenic routes are awesome and just about every weekend you can find a place where everyone is meeting and riding.

We have met so many new friends since we got our Harley. Every weekend there's a ride planned; from long rides to Eureka Springs or even Oklahoma, to short trips to the roadside park on Highway 10.

The Hog Diner is another spot you can usually find the crowd. Thursday night's there's a live band. There are HOG rally's, Poker Runs and Fund Raisers - like the Toy's For Tots Ride every year.

Everyone should ride. There's nothing like it. It's so free and fun.

So the next time you see a group of bikes going by wave at me.

I would like everyone to meet Rosie Faye, she's my newest baby.

I was coming home from buying groceries, just before Christmas last year, and there she was. She's a golden retriever and so loving.

As I rounded the bend on Garrison Road, I saw her dart right in front of a car. I thought she was going to get run over. It was raining and she was wet. I had my car full of supplies and really didn't need a new dog. I almost kept going. But she looked so sad and afraid. Her tail between her legs. I had to stop.

Our neighbors had three golden retrievers and I thought that surely she had got out of their fence and got too far from home. So I loaded her stinky self up.

When I got home I noticed the neighbor had their three dogs and thought "Oh No!, now what can I do." Tim was going to hit the roof.

When he got home, he immediately put her out of the gate - telling her to go home... I told him what happened and he grudgingly allowed her to stay - as long as I notified the local stores in the area that we were looking for her owner. I did that, but no one inquired back. SOOO....

Now I have a new addition to my family. She went in heat last month so we had her spade. After spending money on her, Tim has realized that She Ain't Going Nowhere.

I'm Back!

Well, everywhere I go and everyone I see has been asking me, "Why don't you blog anymore?"

It's just that I have been so busy lately. I got a different job at LA and learning the ropes is taking a lot time. I am really enjoying the process, but it really takes a lot out of me. Plus, we now have the big SALE coming up on April 28th.

Tim's doing great. He's really been using his new shop. He just finished a job yesterday, restoring the seats of a 1930 something Mercedes. He and his riding buddies are planning a long distance ride at the end of this month.

I had my annual vacation in Eureka two weekends ago. It was so great. We stayed at the New Orleans Hotel on Spring Street. Shopped like crazy. We had our massage at Cat's Suchness Spa and went to the Cresent's New Moon Spa for pedicures. It was fabulous!

Well, back to work for me.... I promise to keep up with my blogs as much as I can.

Love, M.
