We are going to Tulsa in the morning for the Honda WindDing. I guess it is a pretty big deal for Honda GoldWing owners. We don't have one yet, but Ed is leaning more and more towards one. He currently has a Honda VTX 1800 and is trying to decide if he wants to go to the Goldwing. I am still not sure if I will ride again. Still haven't gotten over our fall 2 years ago. My elbow reminds me of it now and then. I just can't shake the feeling that God was trying to tell me something. Since I didn't pay attention when we had the blowout at 70 mph on Saturday, he decided to really get my attention with our fall and my elbow being broken on Sunday. At least that is what I feel he was trying to tell me. But I can't help remembering how much fun we have on our rides. I really do enjoy the scenery and just doing something we both enjoy so much. I hate to give that up. So, guess I will wait for a sign that it is ok to get back on and ride again. I know Ed will be happy when that day comes.
Ed is off on a ride today with Bob. They both took the day off and headed out about 8 this morning. Not sure where they were going, but I am sure they are having fun. He should be back around 3ish. I am glad he has such a good friend in Bob. We all need friends we can talk to and share with. Ed hasn't had someone like Bob for quite a while now. I really think there isn't anything Bob wouldn't do for us. He and Liz are the kind of friends you know you can always call on, no matter the situation. It is very comforting knowing you have someone like that in your life. I hope they feel the same about us.
Back to our 4th plans. Friday is the WingDing, dinner that night with everyone, Saturday, spend some time with Ed's parents maybe go back to the WingDing or just do some shopping and Saturday night fireworks in Tulsa. Hoping to leave and come home after that, so we can have a relaxing Sunday at home. Kaci is coming down as well, so we will get to see her. I haven't seen Ed's parents in a while now, hopefully the visit will go well.

Tuesday June 30, 2009
Wow, the last day of June already. So hard to believe this year is already half over.
Read a great quote today, really fits so many situations. Here it is,
Be careful of people who flatter you, be careful of manipulative liars. Vincent Valaitis
I read this in an article on CNN.com about a 30 year old murder case. Morbid I know, but it can apply to so many things in life. We are all so vulnerable and can be manipulated in the name of love. But true love does not lie.
Looks like we will be going to Tulsa for the 4th. It has been a while since we were last there, so it will be good to see Ed's parents. Bob and Liz, Gary and Sandy will be there as well, the guys will be going to the "WingDing", not sure what we girls will do. Shopping is very possible. I am sure Mexican food will be had by all at some point. And of course fireworks. Sunday will be another lazy day after all the traveling and fun.
The really good news is that the weather is cooling down somewhat. Yay for that!! Of course we know the heat will be back, this is only a slight reprieve. July and August are never any fun.... Hurry up September and October!!

RIP
Wow, what a week this has been. I have always heard deaths come in threes and this week seems to have proven that. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson! It has been so surreal to see 1958-2009 on the screen since this was first reported yesterday. MJ was only about 2 weeks older than me. Obviously we lived VERY different lives, but none the less, very weird to see my birth year and someone I grew up listening to all over the TV this way.
It sounds as tho he may have been abusing pain killers, which could have led to cardiac arrest. So sad to lose such talented people, because their pain is just too much for them and they get addicted to the relief. Heath Ledger comes to mind. So talented and such a future ahead of him. And in an instant it's all over.
Even though we knew Farrah was in the final stages of her cancer, it is still so sad to hear she is gone. At least her pain is over. It just goes to show that no one is exempt from this horrible disease. I just hope and pray that one day, someone will find a cure and banish this hideous word from our vocabulary. It probably won't be in my lifetime, but maybe my grandchildren's children will never have to live or die from any form of cancer.
I hope
I pray

Knee's and beds
So, yesterday I was putting clean sheets back on the bed Kaci had slept in over the weekend. The sheet was hanging over the footboard and I didn't see it as I slammed my left knee (outside,top) into it. Man it hurt!! But trooper that I am, I finished making the bed, ironed several shirts and pants and then sat down. After motrin and ice all evening, it is a little better today, still sore and starting to bruise nicely. This is the same knee I hurt 5 years ago the night before we flew to Hawaii with Kari. This isn't nearly as bad as that was, thank goodness.
So today has been a little slower paced than yesterday. The kitties and I have just layed around for most of the day. It's too hot to go out and do anything anyway. I have managed to do a little housework, but not going to stress over it.
A month from today is Baby Girls 25th birthday. It just seems impossible that she is about to be 25!! It just can't be that many years since I was anxiously waiting for her to get here. She has been so different from her sisters in so many ways and I love her for every one of them. She amazes me on a daily basis and I just couldn't be more proud of her.
Not a very intersting post, but that's my life these days......

Blue sky Saturday
Beautiful day today, unlike yesterday which was not so pretty. We had quite a storm roll thru around noonish. Biggest hail I have seen in quite a while. I managed to run out and grab a few without getting pounded. One of them was just about baseball size!! I took a few pictures, as soon as I figure out how to download them to my computer, I will get them posted. I obviously still have a ton to learn about all this stuff!!
Had a little visit with our neighbors Jarrod and Lyndsey last night. Baby Doonan is very obvious now!! It had been several weeks since I last say them and the baby bump is very prominent now. Did I mention they are having a girl? Right now they are calling her Matilda, how cute is that. Not a permanent name, just what she is being called for now. It still looks like she will make her appearance late September, early October.
I really should be doing something more productive, but it is Saturday and that traditionally means relaxation. So, that's what I am doing!!
We are beginning to plan our trip to NYC in December. Have to call Monday on some reservations. I hope to see the Christmas Spectacular while we are there. Also hoping Cindy and Tracy decide to come with us. If not, maybe Alissa and Brek can come down from Boston and spend the weekend with us. Regardless, it should be fun. NYC will be in all it's glory, decked out for Christmas. We might even be there for the lighting of the tree in Rockefeller Center. That would be cool.
Ed just asked who I am talking to, so told him no one, just writing on my blog. This was news to him, haven't told anyone I have this blog. Mary knows, guess she found it after I commented on her blog. But haven't told anyone else about it. Guess the secret is out now....
Got the invite to Somer and Ryan's wedding. Looking forward to our trip to Santa Fe to be a part of all the festivities. I know Somer will make a beautiful bride!! So happy for her and Ryan!!
Ok, that's enough for today, unless I get those pics uploaded. Still haven't gotten the NYC pics up tho, so don't count on it!!
