Now that summer is almost here it is time to get the motorcycle out and get it ready to ride. We do not ride as much as we used to but it is still a lot of fun to get the Harley out and ride around the lake and other fun places here in Nashville. I have had a Harley since I was in high school and have taken some nice long trips, hard to do that kind of stuff now with a family and a job but someday I plan to ride across country and I think that would be a lot of fun even at my advanced age.
On June 6th every year I think about the attack on Omaha beach and think of all the good men from both sides of the war that lost their lives on this very sad day. I think it is a good thing for our President to visit the site of the World War II battle and reflect on the lives lost to preserve our nation. God bless the men who fell in this battle and all the battles our nation has gone through in the last 2 centuries, I fear many more men and women will fall in battle before the Earth sees a peaceful time again.
Every year we have put out a very small garden and this year we have 10 tomato plants and 6 pepper plants not a huge garden but enough for me to mess with I put stakes against all the tomato plants and tied them up in a downpour yesterday. I guess we will get some vegetables this year, last year we were over run with tomatoes, we gave them away ate them on everything and they did not get very big but they tasted good and that is all that matters to me anyway.
We just got home from a three day fishing trip and it was as the title says heaven. We took our 6 year old grandson and he had a blast. We caught a few fish and spent some quality time together as a family. I can not wait for the next trip we take I hope we can get a week off this time to spend even more time chasing fish and basking in the sunlight. Oh my what a three days it was. I want to go back soon is today soon enough?
With spring in full bloom it has been a tough week for me and my allergies. I love spring the best of all the seasons and I try to deal with the bad of the season allergies and bad strong storms are the two biggest problems with spring time. I love being able to sit outside with my dogs and enjoy the mild weather. This is the best time of year to sit outside on the yard swing and watch the birds fly by.
