Fall at it's finest

2010-10-18T18:55:00.000-07:00

Today was like riding in a Fairy Tale through the tunnel of trees on a carpet of Leaves. Only God could paint such a canvas of color. The air was crisp and the leaves made a crinkle sound as we rode over top of them, what a feeling that was. I'm trying not to whine to much about the season that comes next and just enjoy fall as long as I can.

The End is near

2010-10-16T16:37:00.000-07:00

Off we went today to ride the Kent Trail In Grand Rapids. It's a trail we have not rode yet and I have been wanting to get there for quite sometime. Our riding day's for this year are numbered and it has been a great year to be out and about on our bikes. Hopefully we will get a few more rides in before the s--- flies. I just can't even bear to say that S word. I enjoyed the Kent Trail but I still say the White Pine Trail in GR is my favorite. I love the little town of Rockford and eating at the Dam Dog. I just never get tired of riding my bike. It's a great way to see the beauty of our great State.

Laundry Day

2010-09-11T14:39:00.000-07:00

On the 4th of July the most precious bundle arrived from China. Her name is Madeline. She has a smile that lights up the world and the sweetest little personality that melts the hearts of everyone who meets her. On Fri she attended her first "girls breakfast" at the French Laundry. She is such a silly girl, she just made us laugh the whole time we were there. On Oct 1st. she will have her first of many surgery's to correct her cleft lip. I'm going to have to say, I will miss that sweet little smile and that little tooth. Love you Madline and I can't wait to have more "girl day's" with you...

Fun with no Sun

That's exactley what we did this Labor Day weekend, we had lot's of fun without the Sun. I can't believe I have been going to Pentwater all these years and no one has taken me to the Country Dairy. Kim and Craig climbed Mt. Baldie and I finally biked the Hart-Montague Trail. We kept ourselves very busy doing things we ordinarly would not have done if the Sun had shone. It was a great weekend of having fun without the Sun.

Girlfriends

2010-09-02T16:40:00.000-07:00

Dinner and the movies!!! Why, yes I would love to go. It has been way to long sence we have sat together to eat and catch up on things and you all know how I like to eat. It was so good to see you all ,why I hardly noticed the heat and sweat dripping down my back. Let's just not wait so long until we do it again. OK? Good that settles it! Oh look, a couch! Let's take a picture!!!! I bet the rest of you are sad you had to run off to the movies and miss this wonderful photo opportunity! Next time!

riding with the relatives

2010-08-10T19:18:00.000-07:00

I had such a fun day today riding with my little people. They were such little troopers riding on the Paint Creek Trail today. I never heard one complaint...well maybe one when Ali "accidentley" pushed her brother in the river, but you recovered well Aaron. We will have to do it again real soon and next time I will bring more snacks....because you all know...I ride for food!!! I have the thighs to prove it....

30 years old

2010-08-09T06:48:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Joanna's 30th birthday on saturday, I just can not believe my baby girl is turning 30! Time goes by so fast and it is something you can never get back and no matter how hard you try to hold on to it, you just can't. That sweet little face has grown into a beautiful young women. Those little feet have taken you on quite a journey through the years. Some have brought us many tears but many have brought us much joy. You have been such a gift from God to us. We love you very much! Happy birthday little girl!!!!

4th of July

2010-07-06T15:42:00.000-07:00

We had another wonderful 4th of July in Pentwater and a very succesful Parade. Thank you Mark and Debbie for letting us be apart of your celebration.

North Central

2010-06-28T16:49:00.000-07:00

Off we went on Sunday, in the Rain, heading up to Ride the North Central Trail. Why we continued on I don't know because it was pouring rain the whole way up there. After several calls back and forth between the cars we said, let's just go for it and if nothing else we will just find a cute little place and have breakfast, because you all know I ride to eat and I eat even if I can't ride. Well we found that cute little place in Indian River, had our breakfast, the rain stopped, so off we went. I'm so glad we continued on. It was a great ride along Mullett Lake through the woods and open fields right into Cheboygan. If you would have told me we would be riding 41 miles this day I would have told you that you were crazy. What an adventure we had along the way.

Surprise visit from my girls

2010-06-26T19:15:00.000-07:00

Joanna was home for the first time sence Christmas. It was so good to have her and my Grandpuppy home for a visit even if it was just a short time. God has been so very good to her. It was so good to see her looking so healthy and happy. I am just praising God for keeping his hand on her life. We are so proud of you Joanna!!!!!!

Getting started

2010-06-14T15:24:00.000-07:00

I never tire of riding the Paint Creek Trail and I love sharing the ride with my friends. Thanks for going and sharing your day with us. Sorry Steve and Craig, you seem to be missing in the picture. Doesn't Kathy look especially nice? Is that a green shirt I see under you sweater? What a fun day!!!!!

Enjoying the moment

2010-06-14T15:19:00.000-07:00

The group just left us in their dust so Bobbie and I decieded to take a moment and just enjoy the beauty of the trail. That's just like life. We get going so fast and furious trying to make it to the end and we don't take the time to enjoy it along the way. Besides my butt butt was a little sore!

2010-06-14T15:14:00.000-07:00

Enjoying our hot dogs, well at least some of us were eating hot dogs, at our favorite hot dog place in Rochester. Just can't believe some would choose to eat "Bean Soup" and a "Greek Salad" at a hot dog joint. I won't mention any names Kathy and Steve....

2010-06-14T15:12:00.000-07:00

What would biking be with out ice cream???? Bobbie seems to be enjoying her's.

It's not a Choice

2010-05-31T05:44:00.000-07:00

50.1 miles...it was not a choice but a challenge. We went to ride and ride is what we did. 20 miles on the Betsie River and 50.1 on the T.A.R.T/Leelanau trail. Would I do it again...get your bikes and let's get going!

Someone needs to learn how to use her Camera

2010-05-27T19:50:00.000-07:00

I really need to learn how to use this camera. I take video's instead of pictures and pictures instead of video's. Sorry girlfriends for all the retakes!!!! I just had to post it, cause I think we all look so cute sitting in the shade like little old ladies. Don't tell the other's I said that.

20 Miles

2010-05-16T05:31:00.000-07:00

20 miles of fun, sun, food, and good memories. It was a tad bit chilly when we started but it didn't take long for the sun to warm us up. I've always said, I could be in the worst mood ever but put me on my bike and take me to a trail and my spirits will begin to soar, John even looks better out on the trails! I know, hard to believe but it's true. It's the best therapy ever! So, if you need a pick me up and you Hubby is staring to get on your last nerve get on your bikes and join us on our next ride. You will be amazed!!!!

Shifting Gears

2010-05-15T17:10:00.000-07:00

Today was our first Shifting Gears ride of the season. I was so happy someone could finally ride along. No offense John your a fun guy and all but it's always so much fun to share the ride with your friends. Thanks for the GREAT DAY!!!!!

IT doesn't matter how you look just as long as you get out there and do it! It's always a proud moment for John when I leave the house looking like this.

Kensington/Milford

2010-04-23T13:14:00.000-07:00

This ride is not for the faint of heart or the early ride of the biking season but what a beautiful ride it is. I really needed to have a few more weeks of riding before I tackled this ride. I love the nature and the scenic views all along the way. So I huffed and puffed my way around even had to walk up a hill or two but it was so worth it. We will have to do this one again, so get in shape you Shifting Gears so you can go along!

Downtown Milford

2010-04-23T13:04:00.000-07:00

What an adorable Downtown area!! After our ride we had a little bite to eat at the Burger joint, cause you all know I ride to eat, then I spent a few mintues walking around. I needed my girlfriends to ooooh and aaaaah with me, you would have loved it and I might mention that was the BEST burger and fries I've had in a long time!!!! John was alot of fun he sat in car watching the bikes, I know, that is hard to believe.

Boston cooler mmmmmmmmmm

2010-04-18T17:37:00.000-07:00

On the way to the expressway Scot's car went straight to the expressway and Cathy's took a left and went straight to Halo Burger for a Boston Cooler. Because we really hadn't had enough to eat the last 2 day's!!! I wonder if Scot and Joel have found out yet.

She's a fast one

2010-04-18T17:34:00.000-07:00

I was kind of going for a sister picture here and out of nowhere my Mom just leaped into the picture. She's a fast one she is!!

2010-04-18T17:32:00.000-07:00

It just never seems long enough when you all come to visit. Do you think you could just move here?

Proud of You

2010-04-15T18:02:00.000-07:00

I'm so glad you guy's came out and rode with us. What a beautiful night. It felt so good to be out on our bikes with some of our friends tonight. Proud of you Tom and Jan! I think their hooked and ready to ride again. As alway's there was plenty of laughter and ice cream at the end of the trail. We have a new saying, "Pee Happens" cause that's what we seem to do anymore when we laugh to much, I need to see a surgeon, soon!!!!

What a great Easter Sunday we had with the family. Peter Cotton tail even showed up. We had great food and after dinner music provied by Aaron and Allie.

open window

2010-04-02T16:50:00.000-07:00

We Rode 27 miles on the White Pine Trail today with Dave and Bobbie. This has to be one of my favorite trails to ride. You might ask, why would you drive all the way to Grand Rapids to ride your bike, well, because we can and some day we may not be able to. Someone said recentley that we are in a small window of time. You know that time inbetween raising your children then taking care of your parents. You never know what life has in store, why I could break a hip at any moment! So while my window is still open and my hips are still working I want to make the most of every opportunity. Some day my window will close and I will have an open door to all of my wonderful memories.

There is always ice cream at the end of the trail

Spring

Happy Birthday Mom! You look great for 79yrs of age. As a mom, there is nothing that means more then the gift of time spent with her family and that was evident today by the tears of joy on your face. I laughed when my Mom opened my Sister's card, we gave her the same one and that dessert, she ate the whole thing! It was a great day! Happy Birthday, MOM

Who did it

2010-03-20T08:56:00.000-07:00

Who went and made Mother Nature mad? Did you not eat your broccoli? Did you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar? Who ever you are, say your sorry so we can get back to the wonderful spring weather we were having yesterday.

John's excitment

2010-03-19T13:47:00.000-07:00

Were all loaded and ready to go on our first bike ride of the year. At least I look excited about it!

Pathetic

I mean really

2010-03-12T09:27:00.000-08:00

I mean really! What is wrong with taking a walk around the block in your jammies? John was appalled but I didn't care. It was way to much effort to get dressed to go for a walk, then undress to get ready for the day, then get dressed again. It made perfect sence to me, besides you didn't need to go along if you were so embarrased. That's what I'm saying. I know my friends are very proud of me right now.

First Ride of 2010

2010-03-12T05:01:00.000-08:00

I am so hoping winter is over and we have many more day's like today to go riding. I felt the hope of spring in the air today and it felt so good. It's a feeling that people who live in warm climates will never have. So for a brief moment I will enjoy this weather because there is one thing I do know, this moment is only brief.

Joanna and the Nut Mobile

2010-03-09T14:25:00.000-08:00

I never knew their was such a thing as a "nut mobile". I'm surprised she didn't ask to take it home!

This is the trip that almost wasn't and it will be the one that will carry the most memories. I enjoyed laughing and sharing with my sister, loving on my nieces and listnening to my Brother in Law preach the word of God. But the greatest gift of all was to be able to share this trip with my Mom and Dad.

2009-09-04T07:19:00.000-07:00

If laughter is good for the soul, then my soul is in good shape. We took our bikes to Pentwater to go riding for the weekend and I know this is a real shocker but it rained all weekend and our butt's never touched the seats of our bikes. Did we let this spoil our fun, oh no not us! In fact the more it rained the more we laughed...weird I know... but that's just the way we roll, on or off our bikes!!!!

Brenda trying out the velcro rollers...

She liked them...

Oh wait...what is that I see...sunshine...yup the day we leave...nice real nice...

getting back on track

2009-08-22T13:34:00.000-07:00

This morning as I was getting ready to walk 10 miles in the Crim, yes 10 miles, I said to myself, this would be a great jump start to getting back on track with my diet. So today before I had left downtown Flint, after walking 10 Miles, I had eaten...1 Krispie cream doughnut, 2 protien bars, 3 popsciles, 1 bananna, a piece of pizza, drank 2 cokes, Gator aid and now I am on my way to Panara Bread for dinner. What a great way to start a diet!!!!

Crim Day

Thank you Randy, Sharon and Jill for cheering us on...

Debbie and I walking the Bradley Hills...they are real butt kickers...

Things that go bump in the night

2009-08-21T17:54:00.000-07:00

So, we are sitting around the campfire in Pentwater, the fire is roaring, music is playing, people are laughing when John let's out a scream any little girl would be proud of. His leg's fly up in the air and we all laugh but he's yelling, no...no something ran into my chair and bit me. Now, John being the jokester that he is no one believed him until Stella, who was sitting next to him, started screaming no no I saw it...a fury creature was under his chair. Half heatedly I got out of my chair to inspect the leg in question and sure enough there was blood and bite marks. Well needless to say all pandemonium broke loose around the fire, screaming like you have never heard, what to do what to do. Should he go to the hospital or should we call the police or just wait, so we did nothing until Sunday night when we got home from Pentwater. I looked rabies up on the Internet and it said,"if bitten by an unknown creature seek help immediately. Once you start to exhibit symptom's it's to late". Being the good wife that I am I sent him on his way, thinking they'll probably just give him a shot and some pills and he will be fine. Well, he didn't get 1 shot he got 15 shot's and he will need a shot once a week for 4 weeks. So next time you are enjoying sitting out at a bonfire... just be careful of thing's the go "BUMP" in the night....

What a weekend

2009-08-09T16:48:00.000-07:00

What a weekend we had! It all started Sat. with the first annual Northern Keaton Family Reunion. There were about 60 brave Keaton's who came out and huddled together under the pavilion at Holly State Recreation Center. Then Sunday my family gathered together to celebrate Joanna's and Allies birthday on what was the hottest day of the summer. I'm not complaining or anything about the heat but my family looked a little sweaty sitting outside for dinner. Yes, I made them eat outside in this heat. It was my party and I can eat where I want to, so I did. Sorry family...The best part of the weekend was having Joanna home. I miss my girl and it had been a long time sence our family had spent any time with her. You are loved little girl and it was so good to have you home!

Ok so

2009-07-31T05:25:00.000-07:00

Ok, so apparently I can't sit around all day and do nothing. I got a little bored and felt like a 2 yr old when I started whinning, "Johhhhn I'm bored". We set up the bean bag game and I'd like to say I was the winner but, no, I lost 5 out of 5 games. Done with that game.....

This is all

2009-07-30T11:38:00.000-07:00

I took the day off of work and this is absoulutley all I got done today. I guess I should feel guilty, but I don't. I had lot's of "work" I could have gotten done but life is short and summer is even shorter. There will be lot's of time to get things done inside when the snow began's to blow so today I will just enjoy doing absoulutley nothing....

Girlfriend day

2009-07-24T15:33:00.000-07:00

It seems like forever sence the girl's have gotten together and I missed them all. We had so much to catch up on, new Grandbabies, job interviews, bike rides, vacations, window's of time and on and on. There was so much I just hope I didn't miss anything. This picture is of Sharon's gate leading into her pool. Thankyou for letting us come and float and talk and eat more snacks and let our friendships blossom even more.

As always we must eat when we get together. I missed those of you who couldn't come today....

Kim's yummy sandwich...the rest of us had salads and lot's of brown roll's with honey butter and cinnamon....

Nope Yes But

2009-07-20T04:46:00.000-07:00

NOPE, there was no sunshine to be seen and YES, the clouds spit a rain drop or two and NOPE,we had none of the comforts of a Holiday Inn BUT we had Brenda who brought us ALL the comforts from home and then some and YES, my bed felt mighty good last night BUT, the laughter and the time we shared with our friends this past weekend in Petoskey were priceless.....Oh and YES you need to turn off the music on my playlist to listen to the Smilebox....

Were off again

2009-07-13T16:51:00.000-07:00

Were off again this time to the Betsy River Trail. We started in Frankfurt and our first stop along the trail was the little town of Beulah nestled right on Crystal Lake. It was a beautiful ride along Crystal lake and I only wish we would have stopped in Beulah and not contiued on to Thompsonville. It was the ride to nowhere, uphill for 12 miles. Sometimes you don't mind a little harder of a ride if there is something pretty to look at and when you get to your destination you find a cute little town with an ice cream shop to relax at. We found none of that, in fact Mark hit it on the nail when he said, this town is unexceptable and spooky like a ghost town. We got out of Dodge as fast as our little legs would pedal and rode another miserable 12 miles back to Beulah. So if your ever inclined to ride the Betsy River Trail...Stop and turn around in Beulah and you won't be disappointed...that part is an awesome ride.

When your in Beulah make sure to eat at the Hungry Tummy...they have the best Pizza!!! Not even kidding about that one...

The view along Crystal lake was breath taking.....

5th annual Pentwater Parade

2009-07-08T09:10:00.000-07:00

We started the 4th of July Parade 5 yrs ago with about 15 people and now we are up to about 40...we really stepped it up this year with a juggler and music and we even threw candy...preperation has already begun for next years parade....game on people.

Our personal floats...

Bethany won the prize with her US Airforce plane float...we had fly by's and she even tipped her wings a few times to the crowd...loved it...I know it's hard to belive but it only took her less then 30 minutes to make her float...impressive..

Getting started the morning of the 4th...it's a mad frenzy getting our parade in order things are just a flying and at 10:15 your done and the parade starts to assemble...we have 365 day's to get ready but for some reason we wait until the morning of the 365th to put it all together...it just works that way...

Mark was our Little Drummer boy...you did a fine job...

Baseball

Baseball-Hot Dogs-Thunder Storms and Rain Delays...that was our Fri night at the Tiger's baseball game...but we didn't care...no not us...like good little girlscouts we were prepared. We had our umbrella's and poncho's and Brenda's Mary Poppins bag...It's just amazing what Brenda can put in her purse...it's like magic when she opens it up and starts pulling everything out...you'll never go hungry...suffer from a headache...bleed to death...or have to deal with a hang nail...whatever the need...whatever the situation Brenda's got it covered....

Thanks to Bobbie

So I woke up today to rain and the weather report was looking rather bleak...I had been so looking forward to going on our bike trip today...the phone began to ring and the message was the same....I think we should cancel the ride today....I hadn't heard from Bobbie yet so I picked up my cell phone and sadly punched her digits into my phone...I expected to hear from her...so the ride is off today but "no" not Bobbie she picked up the phone....Dave and I are going no matter what...REALLY...I said... then I'm going to...and much to my surprise and delight others decided to join in on the adventure. Not a drop of rain was felt, except the one that Kim felt on her nose, the sun came out...it was a perfect day....thanks to Bobbie we had and awesome day on the Bay......

Someday I'll stay home and clean the house but right now the bike trails just keep calling our names. We decided to try out the Lansing River Trail before we took the whole group...especailly after the Polly Ann Ride...I think you all will like the ride... I've said it once and I will say it again...There's nothing like the wind in your hair and a bike between your leg's to put a smile on your face...and I was defiantly smiling today.

River trail

2009-06-06T17:14:00.000-07:00

It was definatly a fun ride with lot's of twist and turns I think this is a must ride for the Shifting gears.

Found our way

2009-06-06T17:04:00.000-07:00

Finally the end of the trail...we were just riding along seemed like we were going in cirlces...we were...ended up on Grand River St...which I don't think was part of the trail...but we did find a nice place to eat...bonus...I have no idea how we got where we got but it's a good thing Mark had a GPS on his phone...which worked much better then Don's Becker I might add...finally we made it back to the trail...laughing all the way....

As always what would a bike trip be with out a few feedings along the way...and there was ice cream at the end of the trail....

Shifting Gears

This was Marilyn's first ride...I think she only came for the ice cream...

So cute!!!!

Somehow the "Boy's" steered us down a dirt road...sorry Girlfriends the DQ is just around the corner....I promise...

There's always a treat at the end of the trail

2009-06-04T20:30:00.000-07:00

On the trails again

2009-05-31T17:48:00.000-07:00

I think Brenda liked today's biking alot better...the 21 miles we rode today were a piece of cake compared to last week's 25 on the Polly Ann...I love this trail!!

What is biking with out the snack's along the way...can you believe all the food Brenda ate...and we topped it off with a Dairy Queen Blizzard...Yummmmy

We broke bread together when we were done...I've never had Beer Bread...yup that's right we had Beer Bread...

Lavigne's bringing up the rear...just a few more miles...you can do it....

Polly Ann

2009-05-23T18:13:00.000-07:00

We did it...25 miles on the Polly Ann Trail today...so... John's say's this morning, Just how hard could a trail named "Polly Ann" be...well I'm here to tell you it was not a cupcake of a trail and it was surely not the trail to take first time riders on...I'm so sorry Brenda but you were a trooper and I'm PROUD OF YOU...biking really is a lot of fun and we did have a lot of snacks to eat along the way....and you did look really cute on your new bike...do you still love me....

I'd really like to give you a little hug good bye but your just to sweatie...

Our first feeding 2 miles into the trip at the Red Knaps in downtown Oxford...
