Hey, look at my rear...big is beautiful !!

This is a dual post. First of all, today I celebrate my 2 year anniversary of my surgery....yay !!! No need to look at my rear...it is smaller though, which I am very grateful for. Now on to the trike....
Well we are definately moving along quickly!!! Yesterday we got the rear end all welded together...Jeff hates my design for the rear end, but I love it. He says it's "too bulky", I told him I just got alot of junk in the trunk !! I needed more "bulk" because I want to be able to carry enough stuff if we decide to drive a significate distance and need to stay somewhere, we will have clothes and supplies. With the addition of the trunk, it makes the bike 12ft. 9inches long. Pretty big, but big is beautiful.

Well off to the Dr.'s for my yearly checkup and then on to the garage to work on the trike !!!!

I can feel the wind already...

I can feel the wind blowing through my hair already !!! The progress on the trike is going so fast !!! We are WAY ahead of schedule...but that's not a bad thing !!! I am on vacation and devoting my afternoons to working on my "baby". Jeff is so talented and he is always coming up with new ways to do things!!! I am very anxious to get this done....weeeeeee !!!!!

Progress on the Jack Skellington Trike Project

It's been awhile but life has been busy....to say the least. Now that the summer is over, the trike building is in full swing. Many crazy ideas are going into this unique vehicle. These are some new pics of the process....many more to come !!

Goodbye to a dear furry friend....

I just want to say goodbye to my cousin Matthew's cat Moscow. She was such a beautiful little mama and she will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to Matthew and Sophie. I always remember a little saying that I've heard...When a pet dies and goes to heaven, God places them on the lap of an angel...I now Moscow is sitting on Grama B's lap right now....

Provincetown, Mass....what a blast !!!

Well here's the final piece of our trip. We ended our trip in Provincetown. We had so much fun here !!! I celebrated my birthday here and we had a fresh lobster dinner followed by strawberry shortcake in the room. Mmmmm....what a fabulous day !!
We were supposed to go out on the boat for the whale watch for my birthday, but the seas didn't cooperate. So the following day we went on the whale watch, and it was so beautiful. We began by seeing some seals jumping through the water, then we headed out farther into the ocean...and found a momma and baby swimming together. They were so cute !!! Then we found a group of 7 whales "bubble feeding", which was an amazing sight to see !!! Our naturalist told us that they haven't seen that many whales bubble feeding in a few years, so we had a special treat !!!! Our Massachusettes trip was fantastic and I can't wait to scrapbook our pictures, I've already been out shopping for stickers and paper !!! Thanks to all who have watched our videos, we are so proud of our trip and love to share our stories with others !!!

Salem Trip (part 2)

Well here's part 2 of my Salem trip. It's not much, but it's a couple pics from our ghost hunt. Our tour guide, Michael, was a real treat !!! He is a side show performer , (sword swallower) for a local touring side show group. We talked about the movie Freaks with him, and he knew some people who actually worked with the pinhead Schlitzie!!! If you haven't seen the movie Freaks, it's about the side show people who performed at the circus. It was banned in the USA for awhile because it shows how the disfigured people were exploited by the circus owners. If you haven't seen it, you've got to. It's an old black and white movie but it is well worth watching !!! Next to come....Provincetown pics...and our whale watch !!!

Salem Trip (part 1)

Well we are finally back from our trip to Massachsettes. What a blast we had !!! This little video here contains a few pictures from Salem. We went on a Spellbound Ghost Hunt and I actually photographed orbs which I will be posting pictures of later. We spent 2 days in Salem at an old inn that was built in the 1800's called the Salem Inn. It was a very pleasant stay and we enjoyed the in-room jacuzzi !!! We also visited the old burial grounds where several people were buried from the witch trials. We did alot of shopping and ate at some very awesome restaurants that had fresh seafood, which is our favorite!!! I will be posting more later about our trip !!!
