December 2012

The last week has brought such sad news with the public shootings at the mall and then the school back east. My thoughts are with the families and friends missing loved ones. We try to stay busy with projects, the weather isn't such that we can be outside much. We have been working on my bike. We installed the trailer hitch, and Jay did the wiring for the trailer lights. He is such a sweetheart. Not sure how he puts up with me. My driving lights come tomorrow, and we will get them on soon. The more lights easier for me to see, and for others to see me.

We attended the GWRRA Chapter I Christmas party on Dec 8th, great food, lots of laughter and fun. We continue to lose weight, slowly but it does happen. Until next time, be safe.

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving week here was very quiet. No turkey or the usual "stuff". Since finding out we both have diabetes and very high A1Cs, we go for the light side of food. BBq steak, smashed sweet potatoes with pecans, green salad, and cherry almond pie. It was very good, but as Jay would say "there wasn't enough". we have been busy working on the latest bike. Heated hand grips were not working, and one of the reasons for getting the bike was for that comfort. we ended up taking the top part of the bike apart, to only find that everything seemed to be ok, after we put the bike back together they worked great...is a mystery, maybe the motorcycle gremlins were playing with something. Next step was to get new tires on the bike, we decided to do as much as we could ourselves. we were able to get the wheels off, take them to a motorcycle shop and have the new tires mounted, we are using something called "dynabeads" for balancing the tires. will let you know more about that later. Many projects going on, remodeling the lower floor, can't wait to be able to sit down there in front of the wood stove. we are continuing to attempt to get some exercise every day. when raining I walk some in our area. He gets on his bicycle and rides. I have lost 20 lbs in 2 months, and he has lost 15 lbs in about the same time period. So looking forward to spring and warmer weather. I will try and get other pics of the bike and get them posted soon.... until next time....

Months since my last blog...

so much has happened since my last blog. I did have a job and now I don't, not looking for one either. Jay is not working at this time. We are both doing well. Trying to get more exercise, riding bicycles, and alittle walking at times. Both are diabetics so watching more about nutrition. My mother passed away about 11 months ago, and Jays brother passed away within a week. December 2011 was not a good month for us. Life goes on. I enjoy my time at home with Jay. My thought is every night is Friday night and everyday is Saturday.lots of projects in the works with the house, and my newest bike.

We are planning a few trips (long distance) and I have been wanting something with more comfort, this was my choice. Life is good, Jay is wonderful..such a tease.
