Summer Vacation!!

Me and mom are on summer break from school. I love this job!!! We celebrated with a party at several of mom's friend's homes. We don't have much planned other than to spend quality time with our children and their children. Devin will be coming again this summer, so we will plan a road trip with him to NM to see his cousins. I plan to make my annual bike ride out to Monterey for the races again. I may take a trip through Devil's Highway, the old route 666, which is now AZ191. I want to rack up some miles on my bike this summer so I can help AZ accumulate mileage for the BMW mileage contest. School went well for both of us. We were reminded that the nice thing about teaching is, it has a beginning and an end!! Knowing that, it is easy to work only 9 months of the year!!! We hope all are well and think of Keith Spaulding every day as we offer prayers in his behalf!!

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.
