VACATION!!

For this summers vacation we were undecided on where we wanted to go! One idea was to go back to Sturgis for the 10th time. It's been 4 years since we had been there and a last minute conversation with friends helped us decide. Susan and Scott wanted to celebrate their 15th anniversary doing something they had never done before! So why not the historic Sturgis Motorcycle Rally? They borrowed a bike and got things ready in just a few days!
For Tim and I, our list consisted of:
Camping gear UPS'd out to Hans and Paula's! Check!
Maintenance on Road King! Check!
Clothes packed! Check!
Someone to water plants! Check!
Bills all paid! Check!
Ready to go! Check!
Here's a few of our highlights!

Bridal Veil Falls, Spearfish Canyon, South Dakota!

One Eyed Jack's balcony, Sturgis, South Dakota!

Our host and hostess, Hans and Paula at Bullwacker's in Whitewood, SD!





One day we headed to Wyoming......a few stops were the Stone House, Aladdin and Sundance!!

With fewer days and some threatening weather this trip, we only put on 1357 miles. All safe and enjoyable! And the scenery in the Black Hills is breathtaking!! The people watching always adds to the enjoyment! Amusing and sometimes shocking! And sometimes taking another groups picture you find out they know your North Dakota relatives! Small world!
Even though it's good to go on vacation, getting back home is even better!

Julies' Book Signing!

Julie had her first book signing for her new book,
'Autism is a Four Letter Word- Love', yesterday!
It was exciting to see the connections she made
with mother's and grandmother's of Autistic children.
Getting and sharing information really enriches the
relationships and lives of everyone involved with
autism or any physical or mental health issues.
It was a great turnout and afterward Julie had
many of us out to her home for a bonfire and food!!


Memorial weekend, when we celebrated our 30th anniversary, I kept forgetting to get a picture of Tim and I! So yesterday while I was snapping over a hundred pics for Julie, I handed off my camera.....not bad for 30 years together! ;)

FOR EVER & EVER!

To love and be loved is to feel
the sun from both sides.
