On the trails again

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

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...

Go

Go Brenda Go...

It's ok...sometimes you just need to get off and walk...

Your almost there...you were like the little engine who could...

dinner

The cow's were getting a little nervous when John and Gary stated talking T-Bone steaks...

sweet treat

There's always a sweet treat at the end of the trail...our reward for riding 25 miles!

The new normal

Here we are...the so called "New normal"...but there's nothing new or normal about sin and divorce and what it does to a family and the loss we feel when a sister-in-law I have loved, and still love, can no longer be a part of your family gatherings. There's a saying that say's...Sin will take your further than you ever wanted to stray, it will keep you longer than you ever wanted to stay, and it will cost you more than you ever dreamed you would pay but new and normal it is not!!!! So here we are with smiles on our faces but deep sorrow in our hearts. I love you family and I am proud of you!

Me

Me sitting under and on my Mother's day present...Happy Mother's day to me!!!!

Cherish

This say's it all...Cherish...and they are Cherished...

Big Day

This was truly a big day for Joanna. She is buying her first car, her first major purchase of any kind, she's all grown up now!!! She is so funny...it was hard for her to give up her 2003 Saturn...it was well used and abused and it served her well. So congratulation's little girl you look good in your new car.

My Mom and Dad just love to see their Grandbabies. It was good to have Joanna home even if it was for one night.

Hmmm

Hmmm...should we go riding or should we stay home and clean the house and do the yard work...well you can see by the picture we didn't stay home to do our chores...this is what we've been waiting for all winter and we had to go...our chores could wait for another day the trails were calling!!!

Taking a break sitting beside the river eating hot dog's from the hot dog stand...and...we found a Dairy Queen...I was so excited...what a great find that was..it just keeps getting better ever time we go!
