Just a quick update...

Well, as you can tell, I haven't blogged for a while. I have been so busy with work and by the time I get home I'm exhausted!


I'm really enjoying my "new" job. I work in the customer service department now and it's a totally different ball game than the warehouse. I have learned so much - especially about the computer program called Exel. It is an amazing tool. I love it.


Tim and I are still riding. I've rode more this year than ever. I've even gone on some pretty cool (and I mean - COLD) rides.


For Christmas, we bought a Bushtec trailer to pull behind the bike. Tim has been wanting to use it so badly - he's even pulled it when he's ridden with his buddies on day rides.

So, the weekend of March 2, for our 24th wedding anniversary, we rode up to Eureka. It was a good weekend for a ride - as long as you didn't have to ride after dark.

Tim got his first massage, and he really enjoyed it. We used their "couples room" and both got a deep tissue massage and a facial - he really enjoyed the facial. They put cold cucumbers over your eyes and cleanse your face then put on hot towels. It was sooo wonderful. The massage was intense. I like deep tissue sometime, but I really enjoy a relaxing rub down most (which is the kind I usually get.)

Well, I'm out of time today and must get to work. I'll keep blogging as I can.

We Rode The Dragon's Tale

I'm sitting at the Tapoco Lodge Resort in Robbinsville, NC on top of the Smokey Mountains.
It is beautiful here. Today we rode in on Storm Cloud. We had rain gear, but it poured down on us. Then, we rode the "dragon's tail." (The rain had stopped.) It's an 11 mile ride through the Smokies - and there are 312 hair-pin currrvessss. IT WAS AWESOME! This is one trip that I will never forget. We are having so much fun. We are with a great group of folks from all over. Some from Nebraska, some from Quincy, Illinois, some from Indiana, and of course some from Arkansas. I'll keep ya'll posted when I can.

Tomorrow we hit Asheville, NC. We are going to the Biltmore Estate. Then back to Tennessee.

I gotta go now. Love ya'll.

HOG's in Arkansas

(Photos above: Tim's Ultra Glide Classic, Terry's Screaming Eagle, Mike's Road King, Tim, Mike and Terry at the Roadside Park)

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.
