Over two years ago, after buying the Yamaha, Nana and I (Dandy) decided it would be great to have our own “adventure” blog and following our daughter Kathy's lead and assistance, we got it up and running. We added a couple of new items, then we went though some family changes…Kathy moved with her family to Utah and then few months later Cindy and Kevin moved their family to Alabama. Not that we went on big downer and withdrew to ourselves, but we actually had a lot going on and we (being the certified procrastinator that I am) kept putting off the updates until “later”! In meantime we kept taking more and more pictures and having more motorcycle or grand children related adventures.
· We’ve been on trips with Brendan and Kyla to Utah in 07
· We’ve been on trips with Brendan and Kyla to Utah in 07
· We have had Cindy and Kevin visit us a couple of times
· We have visited Cindy and Kevin (Easter)
· We have had Brendan (and/or) Kyla numerous times at our house or on short vacation to the Texas Hill County.
· We have been to Alabama for Thanksgiving
· I have been on numerous “Patriot Guard Riders” missions
· We have been on numerous other rides together for fun or for fund raising group rides
· We have joined a great group of like minded biker types – Mid Life Cycles (MLC) and joined them on several social “meet , ride & eat”
· Took long ride in June to Arkansas with the MLC (1400 miles in 4 days)
· Bought a new Motorcycle (The Wing)
· And a bunch of other things
· Traveled again to Utah to welcome Caitlyn Joyce, who made her arrival August 11, 2008.
So rather than try to relate and document all the events (play by play) what follows is going to be our attempt at providing a “pictorial” update. I am not even going to try and get them in exactly the right order or to put the dates on each. I will add a couple of other posts that I have written previously, but did not publish.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…………………..enjoy!!!
