I have ridden on the back of a Harley but I've never operated one. Tonight my husband "let me" drive his Harley. I had a BLAST. He was so nervous -- his bike has never been dropped, so I knew it was a gesture of love for him to let me ride it! It is so different than riding on my Suzuki! I was in a total state of euphoria riding it! I've never had so much fun!

The white bike is my husband's Sporster -- I think it would look great with pink saddle bags, don't you??


This is a picture of my bike and the Sporster. I've named my bike "Tin Man."


On tonight's trip I found a mansion in a farm field. It seemed very out of place to me, but it was beautiful, too.






I have had my mind a lot on what is going on in the MIddle East. I am not afraid, but I am concerned that what is going on there will affect us here. When I read Ezekiel in the Bible, especially chapters 35 to the end, it sure seems like what is happening right now with Iran is prophesied there. While I'm not worried, I am wondering -- how long will we be able to have the freedom to ride like we do? What will happen to gasoline prices, to our way of life, and is Jesus coming soon?

Riding gets my mind off of the cares of this world -- but I know that some day, I will have my own mansion in heaven, and the cares of this world will not even be remembered.

In the meantime, I hope that all my loved ones will know Jesus. He is the only God Who makes sense. He is love, pure and virtuous. And while His followers fail Him, and do not live as they should, and so many times have the wrong idea about what is right in this world, Jesus doesn't. If only I could get my friends to read His Words, compare them with all the other religions in the world, and have their eyes opened to the truth. THAT would be pure euphoria -- even more than riding a Harley!

I really believe that Jesus is coming soon -- that what is going on in the Middle East has been prophesied by Ezekiel, Daniel and in the book of Revelation. Time is short. I want to be ready!

Happy Birthday, Darling Husband! (Click Photos to Enlarge!)

Today was my husband's 47th Birthday so we rode our motorcycles out to Wabash for dinner and then out to Salamonie State Park/Lake/Forest. Here are some pictures I took. The good looking guy on the Harley is my husband.

These photos were taken at the entrance to Salamonie State Forest.

That little dot waaaaay off in the distance is my husband on his Harley:














This funky tree fascinates me. I think a sketch artist could make a beautiful picture of it.

















I will take pictures in the fall, too. The foliage in this entrance way is so pretty and romantic.


























The sun was setting as we left the forest. My husband had a happy birthday and it was fun to get to enjoy it with him. Life is good because God is good.

Perfect Day to Ride!

I rode my bike today and it was perfect weather for it. It's been so hot I hadn't ridden in a week! But today I couldn't stand it one minute longer and I just HAD to ride! Here are some pictures I took today -- I got lost! I love getting lost! There are so many new things to see! (As long as I have a full tank of gas!)

Here is a picture of my bike with some Sunflowers. They reminded me of my childhood home in Kansas. The ones in Kansas grow MUCH taller -- but I liked these anyway.


While lost, I came across this little house that had bikes for sale. That little dog just barked and barked and barked at me!


I love the blue in this picture. It's at the same house. Look towards the back of the picture and you can see all the bikes for sale! I love the little red bird sitting on top of the post. This is true country art, don't you think?



Who says elephants don't live in Indiana?


No matter how much I honked or yelled these horses would NOT look at me!


Well, okay, ONE of them did -- briefly! I think she was thinking, "excuse me? Can't you see we are BUSY?" I want to learn to ride a horse. Hey, I've conquered riding a motorcycle -- surely riding a horse can't be any harder!


I really liked the color of the red buildings/barns against this emerald green soybean field. Look in my rear view mirror and you can see how looooong the the field is, and how on the other side of the road is corn!


I love old schoolhouses. Someone lives in this one. My husband thinks it might be apartments. The mature trees around it are just beautiful. If it IS an apartment building, I am going to go back and take better pictures. I thought it was a private residence and really didn't think I should walk up into the yard.


I have never in my life seen such tall beans. Look how huge they are next to my bike!


Today was the first time I got smiles from people when they realized I was a woman. I also think people think it's funny that I stop and take pictures of beans. There is beauty everywhere if you will only look!
