Is Spring really here?

Yesterday on Friday it was the best day of the year so far this year and I was anxious to get out on my motorcycle and just ride and allow the wind to blow in my face. Because of this I decided to ride from MD to NJ last PM. The problem is I waited about 1 hour too long. That last hour on the Motorcycle was downright cold. That was from 8 PM to 9 PM. After the sun went down it got chilly quick. But I had dressed for the cold and the ride was great. I think everyone should enjoy a good motorcycle ride just once in their life. The clear view of everything around you, the smells that we miss riding in the airconditioned car with the windows up. The fresh air blowing all around you. I think that there are many advantaged to riding today especially when the gas prices are now around $3.00 a gallon. Even buying the premium it is much cheaper than riding in a car. I drove 150 miles on 2.7 gallons of gas last evening. That computes out to be a little over 55.555 miles a gallon. I can live with that. The great thing about that is I have a big motorcycle and I get a comfortable ride. So why not admit it? I really enjoy the motorcycle. It is however tough to carry a lot and you cannot carry many passengers and with Grandkids they cannot go with me but lets face it. Everything has its drawbacks or is it a blessing? I will let you decide if you are reading this. May you at least once enjoy the ride on a motorcycle and I will wish you good weather. Oh yes it is a little tough in the rain and snow but that goes without saying. I will close in saying "Happy riding and RIDE SAFE!!!!!!!

Peace at last

This past week was Easter and our grandkids were here for the week while my daughter's kitchen was being renavated. Four grandkids ages 8,6, and 4. The 6 yr old are twins. This is a handfull for anyone of the retirement age. Don't get me wrong I love the grandkids dearly. However I am getting to the age where it is hard to keep up with them and my patience is getting to be less and less. I was very happy yesterday to take them home to their mother for a couple of days before I have to go see them again. To take them home was a 300 mile round trip. I did however attend a class last night before I returned home. I have been taking a 3 year course for Men With A Mission. I have 3 classes left before I finish the 3rd year. I have really enjoyed this class and have learned a lot. I hope to teach this class to others after I complete the course. I only hope and Pray that I will be equiped to teach this class. It is a lot of information to be able to give to other men. So this has been my past week. I know how really blessed I am and I need a way to express my feelings sometimes So I blog. If you are reading this you might know how that works. So if this is your case Blog. It helps to relieve tension.
Thank you for reading my ramblings. If you wish to respond please do.

Easter

Well here it the day before Easter and Guess What! Its trying to snow this am. This is late for snow and low temps but it is freezing today. Temp this morning was 32 degrees outside. So what is on tap for Easter. Today we are going to have the Easter get together here at our home. We are going to grab that Easter Bunny and squeeze all the eggs out of him and have an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. We are having the Grandkids, Nieces and Nephews and friends. Hopefully everyone will have a good time. What a thankful time of the year to be able to have so many people and family for us to have here for a get together. The worst part of this is cooking an cleaning after the Easter meal. But how thankful we are to be able to have plenty to eat and a place to call home. So if you are reading this I hope and pray that everyone should be lucky to be able to celebrate this Easter Season. Have a nice holiday.
