Counting My Blessings!
The planets aligned this weekend! I had an open schedule on Sunday, so I anxiously viewed the forecast in the hope Sunday’s weather would cooperate enough to allow for a ride. When the weatherman declared the temperatures were to be above normal and the road conditions dry, I was elated. About 1:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon, layered in my winter gear, I headed out for a leisurely ride headed no where in particular. Within a half an hour, I found myself at one of my favorite places; “Estelle’s Leather Shop”. Estelle’s is a small store with a wide selection of leather gear, from vests to skirts, to holsters, and halters. Patches, and pins, helmets, belts, and plenty more. You probably have a shop similar to this one in your area. After wondering around the shop for a while, it was time to get back on the road. I left Estelle’s heading south, until I came upon a county road complete with hills and twisties. From there I wondered the back roads not certain of my exact location, and not really caring. Finally, I crossed a familiar road and headed toward the house. By this time my finger tips, and feet, were beginning to make me aware they were ready for some warmth, so I stopped at a little cafe for coffee and a sandwich with all the trimmings. Twenty minutes later I was back on the road just as the afternoon sun began to fade, and the temperatures started their downward descent. As my short adventure was coming to an end, I was grateful for the chance to ride, to be outdoors, and to return home safely.
Keep The Rubber Side Down!
