Motorcycle Madness

This was taken a few years ago on an older bike we owned and we still have the  big

grins on our faces when we ride on our current bike.

It was an absolutely gorgeous weekend here in Oklahoma and my husband and I went motorcycling with a friend on Sunday. I not only love spending time with my hubby on these forays, but love being out in the sunshine and nature. It is always inspiring and never fails to give me ideas for new designs. The open road truly does call to me, since I was very young.

Growing up there were three of us kids which is always a problem when you are vying for one of only two windows in the back seat. For me, the reward would be to have it rolled down and enjoy the wind in my face. And even though it meant a battle with my brother and sister and a mess of tangled up long hair, in the end it was always worth it. I still get that feeling when we are riding in the country. You can never get that same feeling of freedom or those wonderful smells (and sometimes not so wonderful smells) when riding in a car. And at the end of the day when we return home we are always exhausted, with big grins on our faces.
