Spring is Here!!

Well, in spite of near freezing temps, the sunshine, the blue skies, the budding trees all look like springtime. My street is beautiful in springtime with the Bradford Pears all in bloom, as you can see here in this pic. And it is always a good day for riding with the sunshine like this, regardless of the temp. Today I met a new BMW motorcycle friend, Steve. He lives on the other side of Gainseboro but rode his bike to Ckv and we met at Poet's for some coffee. He has recently moved to Tenn after retiring from FL. So, he will enjoy discovering all the great riding roads of this part of our state. And maybe we can ride some of them together. My grandson, Eli, is with us for the weekend. Of course, the first thing he wanted to do when he got here was sit on the motorcycle. This morning he helped me clean it up and got it all shiny.

Week in Dominica

No riding this week. I am in Barbados and Dominica with our choir missions trip. We have arrived safely and spent the night last night in Barbados. We sang in the lobby of the hotel this morning, extemporaniously. A small crowd gathered and seemed to really enjoy it. We will be spending the rest of the week in Dominica, returning to Barbados on Friday and back to Atlanta late on Saturday night.
The weather here sure makes me wish I had my motorcycle. I have seen a few scooters and one pretty nice motorcycle. It is a relatively poor country. Makes me appreciate good old Tennessee.
