Went for a Weekend Scoot!


Howdy all you blogger friends----here is a picture from my latest adventure---we went home this weekend--partly to see my family and partly to look in on our lake place that we are having some structural issues with currently----and to some that don't know where 'home' is for me---Northern Minnesota---Joe and me and the kidlets live in Minneapolis and my childhood 'home' where the rest of my family lives is 3.5 hours north of us. On a bike it seems like alot longer---and it is----I am hoping to be able to walk and talk in full sentences some time today!---that would be nice---as you can see by the background we did get caught in the rain---and that picture was taken on the fly by Joes brother and his wife who we met up with on the way up there---taken from and I-Phone while doin 65mph--skin flappin in the wind-----technology totally blows my mind! and however, there is not a whole lot of editing one can do to get that 'skin flappin' under control--LOL---You all take care and thanks for poppin in on me----Dad is doing alot better every day and the cabin---well--let's not even go there---it is falling off of the footings and is going to be quite the project to get it back up where it belongs---it is 7 years old and is a split log place on the lake---breaks my heart to see it in such distress----story of my life though for some odd reason recently---absolutely! Oh--and my hair---it is like one big DREADLOCK--there is not enough conditioner in this town to get that tangled mess taken care of!

Wow.. I have lost touch with my blogging GFs!!! I have been spending much time on facebook, catching up with old friends and new ones :) Love the pic and am happy you are finding time with your honey to ride~~~ I've been barely coasting on eBay and need to start crafting more when the kiddos go to school... I simply have not had the desire nor been in the mood this summer. Take care and pop in when ya can ~~~ Love ya, Carla

I used to love to be on the bike and still miss it. Only good that comes of it, it pushes all the wrinkles back for a few hours. LOL Bad thing is so does everything else.(<>) LOL
Hope you can get the cabin fixed and Dad is doing better. This is wonderful news. Life is a roller coaster and most days I want off this thing. But then there would be no highs either!
Hugs,Pea

Omg! skin flappin! I was really laughing out loud when I read that!

You are one hot mama Renee! Are those high heeled boots with those torn boot cut jeans?! I've been wanting me a pair of those and can't seem to find any that look good on my behind and God help us to see me walk in any kind of heel. Practice?
