Sorry to be so quiet lately....

Hello Family & Friends,

Sorry I have been so quiet lately. Corporate State Income Tax filing season descended on me, and then life events have kept me busy. I did take a real vacation this year, and will post pictures soon. I took a 10 day 2600 mile motorcycle adventure to Okmulgee Oklahoma and back, following the Trail of Tears. It was AMAZING! I put 2 wheels in several new states including KY, MO, AR, AL, OK, IL and of course SC, NC, & TN. The route home included Hwy 7 thru the Ozark Mountains. We passed by a motorcycle resort called The Hubb. I hope to go again next year.

Great Routes in Ark

The Hub Resort

I currently don't have internet at home, so posting will be lite until I rectify that situation. I hope to reconnect in November. Funny, I don't miss cable TV in the slightest. I'll have alot of pictures to post, as I've been riding all over...Myrtle Beach Fall rally, Blue Ridge Parkway, Walterboro Marching Band Competition, etc.

Anyway, all is well. I'm happier than I have ever been. I will be attending a training in good old Cincinnati in mid November. Hope to come up early to visit with family and friends.

TTFN,
Angel

Charleston SC MR2 Mini-Meet

We arrive in Charleston early for the MR2 meet, so we head to the battery area. Cobblestone streets, cute shops, and beautiful water views.
Charleston is a very interesting place...lots of history and charm.
What a splendid water view....
Waterfront condos and an art gallery in Charleston.
This young lady was beating the heat and having a blast in a Charleston fountain!
Well here we all are...the 4 of us. Glad I made it! For future reference, GPS units don't locate CLOSED Wal-marts very well!
Nice T-shirt!
Now that's a happy MR2 owner!
This MkI just happened to be sitting at our meeting spot, but no owner in site. clean!
Leaving Wal-mart....
We drove scenic Hwy 61 N.
Refueling point.....pit stop.....smoke break, etc.

Meet the stray kitten that stayed with us this weekend. Isn't He cute?! and so playful!
This one sure knew how to use the claws to get around! I don't think the futniture could have taken much more.
We played with shoe laces. Then got a bath and cleaned those ears!!
As cute as kittens are....this one was just visiting until the animal shelter opened on Monday.
We enjoyed playtime with a blue tennis ball.
All tired kittens and photographers time to take a cat nap! (yes that's me)
Adopt this Kitten, or any other, at the Darlington County Animal Shelter, today!
