Just a quickie post to update anyone who might be interested on my school shenanigans… I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time…almost 4 weeks to be exact! I also keep learning how much I don’t know! Some of you heard me whine mention the rigorous school schedule I have. One […]
The last couple of weeks I’ve been recounting what I deemed as my first big girl ride. With little experience riding I rode the infamous Tail of the Dragon, a road with 318 curves in 11 short miles. It scared me to death, so much so that we decided to take a different route home, […]
This post has nothing to do with a recipe and everything to do about making lemonade. You know the saying “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade”. Last year I got handed a big lemon when I was let go from my job, it was devastating to me, emotionally. I had to do a lot […]

It’s been an unusually warm past few days, it felt more like the dog days of summer than the usual dreary spring so oft experienced here. Something about the warmth, the thought of picking a fresh strawberry and eating it immediately, unwashed, made me feel nostalgic.
McGyver and I have been traveling from Washington State to Shiloh, Illinois. McGyver has finally returned from Germany, after a year’s separation from me. He purchased a brand new 2003 Road King while in Germany and had it shipped to Seattle. His dad kept it for him (and did the break in miles, plus some) […]
