Road ridin' continued...

By being little boys, touching everything and making comments about stuff, they finally got us out of this store, but not before we look on both floors ....

By this time of day it was HOT, we lotion- ed up and climbed on the bikes. Heading out of town our next stop would be in Medina Texas. But the road to take was a doozie for bikes, sports cars and anything that is fast...meaning, lots of curves, twists, hills and turns.

I had started to worry, for last time on this road, I did not do well. I didn't crash or anything like that. I just didn't handle things as I thought I should have..I have a rule, don't touch the white lines or yellow lines. Some days I don't do it at all and other days, I will kiss on of them with the tire..Last time on this road, I rode OVER the yellow...not a good thing..the only thing that save me, is that there was NO traffic at that time. I'd been dead if there was..so that is why I was making my self silly over it.

You know what I did? I prayed..yes, I pray often on my bike. Not just for me or our safety..but for others too..for there is alot of 'head time' on a motorcycle. So, after saying my prayers, my head calmed down and I felt alot calmer. We came upon the switchbacks. And I did them with easy! Pheew.. There is a little place hub likes to stop at and enjoy the view. So we did just that..

We pulled up in Medina at the Apple store, I don't know what the real name of it is..but they have the BEST apple pies! Huge and good and sell them by the slice..After we had our desserts we jumped back on the bikes and headed to Camp Wood. Our home base for the next few days. This is hilly rough country..the roads are great for bikes. But then we came upon some road work...deep loose dirt/gravel...more than once I felt my front tire grab the wrong way. We had about 5 miles of it into Leaky(Lake-y) Texas. Never was I so ready to hit that hard asphalt!

We road a 'sister' road on into Camp Wood and made it there about 6pm Thursday night. A shower was most welcome and dinner was had shortly after. We set outside and watched the stars and talked until we parted for our rooms.

(Sister roads: 335,336,337 are twisty FM roads that they call the "twisted sisters" bikers love these roads!)

Next chapter: Kangaroos, massages and such-oh my!

Coming and going

We've been all over the place the last few days..Austin, College Station, Wichita Falls, Bowie....

The Scoob when with us on the 'down South' trip..he was a good traveler and was always willing to hang out the window when it was open..

Sunday we headed to the flea in Bowie Texas, it's called Second Monday..it was hot! Let me tell you that~

After taking these photos, I put the camera in the bag and took on some serious shopping..Didn't find any goodies to alter though..but did find some goodies for the house..We picked up a Huge Huge Tim Cox print in an amazing frame..I've seen these in the stores for over 500$..got it for waaay less..that went in our bedroom..found some old licenses plates, we are going to use them as a kick plate on the screen door..found some galvanized stars for the walls, and local honey, hot sauce and peaches. Ate an amazing Chicken Fried steak for lunch then headed home..I'll be going back there...

We've got over 20 signed up for Paper Cowgirl! Come join our fun!! I was hoping to find goodies for vendor night, at the flea market..but not this time..I do have some canning jars full of goodies and packets of ephemera gathered up!

Hope your Monday is good..
