JOY RIDE .....

As I continue my saga of Joy Ride I left you at the Restaurant where we had a delightful lunch. We all had fish n chips the best I have ever eaten it was really good. We left there started heading home just as the fog was beginning to come in. In some section it was very cold thankfully I had my sweat shirt on. We headed back to Hwy 36 to come home. On the way back as you can see in this picture we stop up on South Fork the guys were checking out our trike trying to figure out why they kept smiling gas. That my hubby showing the best side of him looking under the trike. we discover later that it had to do with the reserve gas tank. We believe we have the problem solved hopefully. Well that is the end of this saga we had a delightful day still put a smile on our face when we think of it.

I'm Back Once Again

Well, I believe I am back for sure now. ..*smile*.. I got my computer back, I got on it made a entry here and a couple of other place and BAM my computer locked up and went down. Talk about being disappointed. I have been on line now for about a week now and so far so good. So I think I am here for good. I have been catching up on my Art groups, it was nice to be able to up load my pictures. It is amazing how you feel so lost when you are not able to get on the computer. While down though I did get a lot of yard work done and there is so much more to do. I don't know where all these weeds came from and the tree's they have grown so fast and needed pruning desperately. Oh my, what a mess it still is a mess but look a whole lot nicer now. Well my friends, I shall be back tomorrow take care have a wonderful creative day!

I'm back....

Hello everyone, I'm back.

Between having computer problems and Blog problems well as you know I have been off line for the last 2 1/2 weeks. During that time I went through Computer With Drawl and got a lot of yard work done and still working on that. I've been out pruning up the Pine and Fur tree's in our yard. Now that the days are getting warming I will be going out very early in the mornings now working till about 10 a.m. then work the rest of the time in my shack or on my Arts n Crafts. Never know what I'll be doing that is for sure.

Mike and I have been enjoying riding our Boss Hoss trike. We have been riding with a group every Sunday last week we went to Trinidad had a fish n chip lunch boy was it good! It was such a wonderful day, it seems all the cares one have is blown away for that day. We love riding that trike.

Went to the Eye doctor today, been a rough day for me. They dilated my eyes they needed to check to see if the Diabetes I have had done any damage to my eyes. They were very concern about the little blood vessels in the back of my eyes that due to the high sugar level may have cause my little vessels to break and bleed thankfully it did not I feel so bliss. It looks like I have caught it at the right time. I have manage to bring it down from 200 - 325 to 119 - 145 there abouts and still bringing it down. I have hyperglycemia  so I need to bring my sugar down, if I was not able to do this through diet then I would have to get on that Pill, I did not want to take that pill at all. Anyway I'm sitting here in sun glasses for my eyes are still sensitive to the light.

Well, we finally got my car back. Been at the Car Hospital since last November. The Electrician never did discovered what was wrong with the car. I was very disgusted the guy thought maybe something he did that he did not know what he did may have fix it. He never could get it to stop running. Well we brought it home, I drove it back to Hayfork, guess what? This morning we jump into it, won't run!!! I didn't say a word, not sure what we are going to do now.

You are now caught up with me....starting tomorrow I'll be back on with my Arts and Photography you all have a ............

Wonderful

Memorial Weekend

I am, going for another ride this weekend!

MYSTERY

As Mike and I was coming home, along the way we would stop taking pictures of interest. On this one, we found a beautiful rock chimney standing all alone. As we were walking around it, you couldn't but wonder what story this chimney could recall.

Rock Chimney

Standing all alone it had a air of mystery.

***

Now as I was taking pictures Mike kept teasing me that I might fall into a septic tank the lid of the tank was off of the septic now were is that septic I don't know! He was so concern about it that when I turn around to take a shot at him I caught him

Mike Yawns

yawning, boy does he have a BIG mouth! He should be tired we drove over 180 miles this day. Did we both sleep good that night.

****

Now isn't that a beautiful Trike we just love it.

WHO LOVES THE RAIN

Who loves the rain

And loves his home,

And looks on life with quiet eyes,

Him will I follow through the storm;

And at his heart-fire keep me warm;

Nor hell nor heaven shall that soul surprise,

Who loves the rain, 

And loves his home,

And looks on life with quiet eyes.

OLE SHOE TREE

Ole shoe tree how are ye
Standing there so tall and graceful
On your limbs hang graceful moss
Oh my, what is that?
Is that a Shoe I see
Not one but hundreds of shoes
hanging from your graceful limbs.
How did those shoe get there?
Does anyone stop like me
To admire your graceful trims.
Ole shoe tree how are ye?
by Ranie Patridis

This tree was loaded with shoes and long moss. I would guess there are 50 pairs of shoes or more in this tree.

As we stood under this tree admiring all these shoes
I just couldn't believe that some one would throw perfectly
good shoes up into a tree. There was a pair of shoes laying on the ground. I don't know if it fell out of the tree or someone just didn't get that pair onto the tree. The shoes look like they would fit a young child. Mike and I took turns trying to throw the shoes up into the tree but the strap on it was too small for the branches to catch it. We finally gave up as I was taking more pictures I kept looking at the poor little pair of shoes all alone on the ground then suddenly I notice a branch I could reach and I very carefully gave this little shoe a place among its piers. ..giggle..

It is a site to see, if you ever get a chance this tree is on Hwy 36 in Humboldt County.

BOSS HOSS ~ Hayfork

Here we are back in Hayfork Mike is driving our Boss Hoss trike up our driveway. We are getting ready to go on another road trip just for the day.

Oh what sites we will see what stories we can come up with. We live in one of the most beautiful spots of California we just love it up here.

When we ride we feel free with the wind blowing through us the dirt n the grid of the vehicles that passes us or we pass them it all gets into our skin and clothes. There is just something about riding a motorcycle rather it is a 2-wheel or a 3-wheel motorcycle we have a blast. We just happen to own both. You never know were we go what we see or who we visit with.

What we have discover in our rode trips there are some very interesting people and places to see.

BOSS HOSS ~ Trinity Lake

The country side is just beautiful this time of the year. Mike and I rode up around Trinity Lake we were quiet surprise seeing this lake so low. The locals were driving down this boat ramp to get to the river and the lake. They were having so much fun down there.

This boat ramp is where the river runs into the lake. It is so sad to see how low this lake is. This lake filters on down to the Lewiston Lake which is kept full. We are hoping the snow on the Trinity Alps will be enough to fill up Trinity Lake. Not sure that is going to happen the lake is so low, oh my, so low. You could see around the lake there has been some logging going on. On this trip around the lake were were bliss to see a Bald Eagle and to see a nest on top of a tree. As you can see we desperately need more rain if not snow to fill our rivers and lakes here in Northern California.

Boss Hoss - A Song Within My Heart contuine.....

Oh what a glorious day. Mike and I rode around 300 miles today. We got the bug, tomorrow we will be going out again. While riding today I was thinking how Mike and I like the simple things in life how we have so much fun! It reminded me of this poem.

LITTLE THINGS

It's just the little homely things,
The unobtrusive, friendly things,
The "wont-you-let-me-help-you" things
That make our pathway light-
And it's just the jolly, joking things,
The "never-mind-the-trouble" things,
The "laugh-with-me, it's funny" things
That make the world seem bright.

For all the countless famous things,
The wondrous, record-breaking things,
Those"never-can-be-equalled" things
That all the paper cite,
Aren't like the little human things,
The everyday-encountered things,
The "just-because-I-like-you" things
That make us happy quite.

So here's to all the simple things,
The dear "all-in-a-day's-work" things,
The "smile-and-face-your-troubles" things,
Trust God to put them right!
The "done-and-then-forgotten" things,
The "can't-you-see-I-love-you" things,
The hearty "I-am-with-you" things
That make life worth the fight
~Author Unknown

It is pure simple things that Mike and I enjoy doing the most. We load up take a ride on our motorcycle, stop here in there taking photographs of sites of interest. It is that companionship that we cherish the most with each other. Oh what a beautiful fun day it was, put a song within my heart. See ya later......

Boss Hoss - A Song Within My Heart

This is one of those days when everything went right. This morning my yard is a happy one, the birds were at the feeder having breakfast singing their little hearts out. My cats Tabby and Bobby try their best to catch one of those lovely birds. Not sure if that is ever going to happen their hunting skills are lacking. Must be all that good food I feed them. Hubby fusses he wants them to catch gophers so far those gophers are not looking interesting to them ..giggle.. Such a beautiful day we will be taking off riding our Boss Hoss trike. You say what is a Boss Hoss Trike it is 3 wheeler with 355 horse power corvet engine that rumbles between your legs. Has a turbo hydro 350 automatic transmission and its ALL MINE! I do share it with hubby and we do take turns driving it too.
Here I am driving this beauty my husband is wonderful riding on the back. The guys do give him a bad time when they see me driving it with him on the back. We have so much fun with this trike to be fair guess I should show a picture of him driving it too. Ooops! It's me again ..giggle.. did I tell you this is my Boss Hoss!

So excited that spring is here weather nice we are off for a joy ride.......see ya later!
