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 !!!!

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 !!!
