Back from Camp and Leaving for the Mountains!
We had an AWESOME time at camp! Thank-you, Women Who Ride! I will be posting a bunch of pictures and telling you all about it as soon as I get back from my trip in the Smokey Mountains! I just got home yesterday, and today am washing clothes and packing to leave again tomorrow!
I will be riding 1200 miles round trip with my biker chick girlfriends, Susan and Melinda.
We will be going town to Deal's Gap to ride the dragon!

I'm nervous and excited and everything in between. It will be a milestone in my biking career!
Check back next week for lots of pictures and stories!

Thank-you, Women Who Ride!
I have some amazing friends on the Delphi Forum page of Women Who Ride. These folks raised $1500 to send my twin sons (who have autism) to Joni and Friends Family Retreat camp. Our pictures from last year can be found here:

It was such an amazing experience, but so expensive, I wasn't sure we would get to go again this year. (Last year we sold homemade cookies to raise money to go!) My faith shouldn't have been so small.
Much to my surprise the owner of the Women Who Ride Forum, "Donna the Doc" (who is wife of Motorman of Ride Like a Pro fame) did a fund raising drive and people on that forum donated the money for my family to go again this summer! Just goes to show what great, generous, warm, caring people bikers are.
Here's a picture of the boys being presented with the check and being told they get to go back to camp. We presented it to them at church and the people standing with them are bikers in the church who stood in for the WWR folks. My husband is that cute preacher on the end of the row on the right. The two wee ones are my granddaughters. I think you can tell who the twins are!
Thank-you WOMEN WHO RIDE! And thank-you Donna and Motorman! I am more grateful than words can begin to express.
Stay tuned for pictures of retreat! We go in June! We can hardly wait!
