For those of you who haven't seen Mariah's new car.....Yes, she will be driving soon. She has already taken driver ed, and will get her license in November. We bought this car about 2 months ago for her to use. It is a VW Passat Wagon fully loaded and we got a really good deal on it! And gas mileage is much better in this than in the van or the suburban. So whenever we need to run a quick errand or go pick up a couple of kids we take this car into town instead.

The Praying Mantis

Mom enjoys riding her new-to-her bike. It is a BMW R1150R Rockster model. She rides to school and back home again most days. She is a hero to her students on campus because she is a motorhead!! You go, girl!!

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
