If anyone rides on this Wednesday night, please let me know. You will be banned from our group due to insanity!
I have been asked now about our trip out to Denver over Thanksgiving to see the kids and grandkids. The flights out and back were fine, but our misadventures on the ground have led me to the conclusion that airports suck! Our airport incidents are too numerous to mention here, but I'm sure I'll be able to pass them on sometime.
We really enjoyed seeing the kids and grandkids again. They all seem to be healthy and doing fine, but growing up too quickly. I was especially proud of our granddaughter, Lilly. After surviving a terrible automobile accident, she really looks great!
Despite our airport misadventures, we did make it back to Waukon on Friday before the snowstorm from hell hit. The Weather Witch is back again! Yesterday, I spent the entire afternoon clearing snow out of the backyard so I can get the trailer and trike out and ready to go to Florida at the end of the month.
At noon yesterday, I spoke to the Decorah Rotary Club at Ron's request. I told the members present there (they had a good crowd and are a community service club) about our Wednesday Night Riders. Some of my talk was about how the group got started and how it's grown, the various activities we do including the Wednesday night rides, our rides to eat, and our couples and summer trip. I even mentioned our PMS get-together. Most of the talk was an emphasis on the service and charity events we participate in. Our support of the New Albin Fire Department, Win Med Hospice Ride, and Camp Courageous were all mentioned along with some photos. They were especially interested in our trike rides for the rest home residents in Waukon and Decorah. I was able to show some photos of those events also, and particularly of all the smiles we generated. As far as I could gather, the talk was well received and provided some good publicity for the Wednesday Night Riders. Special thanks to Ron for the opportunity.
As promised, I am going to show a video snippet from one of our rides this fall. Say hello to Thumper again!
AND NOW....😞
