Let me tell you the joys we are having now and it all started by that phone call to my sister. So, I put my feet in gear and started walking in the right direction of purchasing me a bicycle at "Ride-A-Bike"; (my husband already had one) so needless to say, we were in business of riding together with them (family, whom I love to be with).
It all started by putting one foot in front of the other....and away we went; laughter brought us from the couch to riding the trails from North Carolina and Virginia. Literally having a ball and I mean that! I do have to confess one thing though....you can dress me up, but don't take me out anywhere...let me explain:Our first trip was the Virginia Creeper Trail...had gone about 5 miles down-hill when we decided to stop for photos and more photos. There's always these nice little "creeks" that run beside the trails (go figure), yea right! Well, after stopping for photos, we all decided to tip-toe into the water very carefully and capture beauty of God's earth on these "hugh rocks" in the water. Oh my, down I went....slipped on the rocks and landed on my left hand. At that point, I thought I had broke my wrist. By just pure luck I could move my wrist and hands, but looked into the palm of my hand and all I saw was blood. My diamond had cut me right between my pinky finger and ring finger. My husband thought it best that I seek treatment (and glad I did). Had two sutures put in and that healed up nicely.
So, we finished the trail of about 12 miles left and all ended well with that trip. I can honestly say this....I LOVED BEING WITH MY SISTER, MARTHA AND HER HUSBAND CHUCK. They are so much fun to be around. Love them!!!
We took so many pictures that day on the bike trip. I mean, after all - all we have are the memories and what would we do without the pictures, right? I would rather ride bikes with family and friends than do any other type of physical activity.
Here we are, Bruce and I stealing a quick kiss on this "cute cycle bridge". I had so much fun that day...why, it was like a kid at Christmas time.
Here we are the four of us...from left to right (Chuck, Martha, Veronica and Bruce). Now, everybody has heard of those terrible "hair days" and look at me...just look at me. That dreadful "hair day" I had going on! No matter what I did, those bangs were flipping and a flopping. ha,ha. Looked like something out of the scary ghost books. But, my husband said the pictures weren't that bad and for me to STOP about the bangs...so I did. Love my family!!! Love my family!!
Here's a picture of my brother-in-law and hubby.
And, last but not least...here is the van that shuttled us to the top of the mountain with our bikes. Little did we know when we reached the top that we had 17 miles to go back down the mountain. But, truly the last 5 miles was all we had to peddle...everything else was down-hill. Now, tell me that's not a bad deal!!! We did have a wonderful time and have been on other trips riding as well.
