Keep your self unseen, your voice unspoken, your aim deadly,
your mind always sharp, and KNOW, your the best that YOU can be.
Then our soldier, YOU will "ALWAYS" be here for us to SEE!
:heart: GOD BLESS all of our fighting men and women..4EVER!

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to check in once more this weekend...

Well, for those of you who didn't know, especially
when I am in Sac town, Suc-ramento, to some...
which is the most often....
I like my cardiovascular workout...
I am a pretty decent, well-seasoned bicyclist,
I'm not a newcomer by any means....

But , even to seasoned bicyclists, stuff happens.
I was out on a bike ride late last week,
on my daily sunset trek on my 21 speed mountain bike
to cruise the river road, avoid all the skunks...:wink:
that have the distinct fragrance of something else.smokin
and watch the sunset on the horizon.:heart: :heart: :heart:

Well, I got sidetracked on R street
which has train tracks going through the middle of it..
R Street =railroad...
but they don't use those tracks any more...

Well, I happened to take my eyes off the road for a second to communicate with a pedestrian I could have collided with
and he told me to go first, so, in that split second,
I rode across the train tracks a little bit too parallel
with the tracks & my wheels got caught in the tracks,
& bammmmmm, that was all I wrote ...I bailed ...
It all happened so fast, but seemed like slow motion
when I fell. It was bad. I skid too.!!
with a tank top, short skort, & thin sandals on...
no less and no more.....
I'm usually so bold and so confident I almost never fall...
I'm a bit more careful & a bit skiddish these days...
but with temps in the 90's and 100's
I am not putting more clothes on.

Well, I did hurt myself bad and it got infected too...nice.

Some people would not get back on a bike
after what I've gone through...

But, like Bonnie Raitt says,
" The road is my middle name"

And it just so happens to be that this weekend
San Francisco is hosting the huge 40th anniversary
of the Woodstock summer of love festival...

I was there, it has been 38 years...August 1969...
but, I'm not complaining...

So, this concert is drawing me like a magnet too...

Mr. San Jose was going to come get me on his mighty stallion named Harley, but with my leg injuries, we decided to pass...


But there is a bright light at the end of this tunnel....

My beloved daughter, my oldest, happens to be free tomorrow
and her heavy metal husband is touring out
of the country for the weekend,
so we are gonna head out to the City by the Bay,
and we're going to wear flowers in our hair...

And I get the great honor and ecstatic, exhilarating pleasure of escorting my daughter and with my young grandchildren in tow, I am going to make a grand appearance with three generations present at the anniversary woodstock celebration.
And we are going to see the Doobie brothers, Jesse Colin Young
and Country Joe and the Fish & a host of others...
There are a lot of Bay Area musicians who live near there.

so, please wish us well, and I'll give you an update
when I return and recuperate from the festivities...:wink:

This will be all dependent on the little ones...
I have my 3 year Granddaughter & 9 year old Grandson , too.

:heart: flowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou :heart: :heart: flowerforyou


And as always I am thankful for the faithful ones
who keep the evil ones at bay & away from our homeland...

So grateful for the freedom to just have some fun...
and to do so many things that so many others
have never had the chance to do and never will...



:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

For Gary...

Forever Autumn

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near...
The winter winds will be much colder,
cause you're not here...

I watch the birds fly south
across the autumn sky
and one by one they fade away...
I wish that I was flying with them
cause you're not here...

Through autumn's golden gown
you mused to kick your way
you always loved this time of year
those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cause you're not here...

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear,
my life will be forever autumn,
until you 're here...

By Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues

II Chronicles... chapter 7... verse 14

The Lord said,

"If My People will humble themselves,and pray
and search for me and turn from their wicked ways,
I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins
and I will heal their land..."

Afternoon to all who may be reading this!!

It is a cloudy Sunday here in SC. College football began this weekend and pro football isn't far behind. Thank goodness.

All the troops have been in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong. Love to you all.
