Happy Labor Day

It's not often we get a three day weekend, so when we do we try to get as much in as possible. We babysat and dog sat this weekend. So today was about us doing something fun. So we met up with some friends and took a short bike ride to Wrightwood and then to Silverwood Lake. 

Tomorrow back to reality it is!

So I realize now that it's been quite some time since I've posted anything on my page. Guess it's been a busy fun summer. We've been doing a lot of riding, almost every weekend. And if we're not riding we've been on road trips and had some visitors. So here are a few pictures of our summer activities.

We went to the Gilroy Garlic Festival

Went on a 700 mile ride to Three Rivers/Sierra's

 My son and daughter in law visited from Texas.
We went to Newport/Balboa via the ferry

We went to Disneyland.....

It was her first time there, can you tell she had
an awesome time!?

We had some margarita's

 Went on a ride to Solvang, my first long trip...what a blast

And we both have new bikes now...Victorys

Love my new bike!! 

Barefoot Sandals

So my daughter in law showed me a picture of some barefoot sandals that she loved. I thought I can make those. So I did some looking around and found some patterns and this is what I have come up with so far. It is early stages but it's a start, right?

Motorcycles....

So I started my motorcycle training class this week. Today was the first day on the bikes. Had a blast! Can't wait for tomorrow, I'll report back if I pass. We also added a third bike to the family today. While I was in class Bob flew (last night) to Northern California and picked up a bike for us to enjoy those long rides together. I don't know how he did it but he made the 500 mile trek back home by 4:30PM today. Crazy...anyhow, here's the new addition. Can't wait to take it out.

Three Rivers ride

We've been spending a lot of time lately on our bike. By that I mean a motorcycle, Harley Davidson to be exact. We found a local group at gets together almost every weekend and goes somewhere, even if it's just a day ride. Recently we took an overnight trip to Three Rivers, Ca. That's located about 300 miles north of where we live. The forecast called for a chance of drizzles. Well we got that and much more. Here's us getting ready to leave from Ontario, it had already started to rain...not a good sign.

 We encountered wind riding through the Palmdale area. That was probably the worst because it just blows you all over the place. Once we got up near Lake Isabella on the 155 it got colder and wetter, and that combination makes snow flurries. We went very slow and made it through the winding roads, it was actually very pretty.

There is lots of beautiful country to be seen and what a better way then on a bike where you can use all your senses. I love it. Here are a few more pictures along the way.

This is how you dress when it's cold out....

We stayed at The Lazy J Ranch in Three Rivers...what a great little place. We had a bonfire in the rain that night, too fun.

Baby update...

I just thought I haven't shown a recent picture of my newest grandbaby in a while. This is a picture from Thanksgiving, isn't he adorable...especially with his grandma holding him. He is such a happy little guy.

Here is his 6 month picture, too cute!

Hello Wine....

So I'm on this diet....been doing this for a while now and I must say it is all worth the sacrifices. And while I'm on it I must refrain from lots of things, like sugar, carbs and WINE! I was just looking through some pictures I took over the last few months and I ran across this one. So I will just admire from afar.......hello wine..........you understand, right?

Speaking of my diet, here is a collage I put together last summer of a few before/after pictures. Just thought I'd share a little bit of my progress, can you see any difference?
