<\/a><\/p>\nI usually spend a few days here so if I need to get work done on the bike Great South Harley Davidson is where I go.\u00a0 They were more than happy to take a look at the rattle issue for me and told me that new lifters would be the cure.\u00a0 I guess there was an issue with the lifters they used in 2013 – not enough to recall them of course, or even to give me a break on the cost.\u00a0 However – after a couple days in the shop, my bike is running smooth and I’m thrilled to have new tires AND no more rattle.\u00a0 Who could ask for more?<\/p>\n
This is the area where three very special little girls grew up.\u00a0 I’ve been coming back to see them for a whole lotta years.\u00a0 Of course, they are grown now and have children of their own (17-5 years old) which just makes everything even more fun.\u00a0 Most of you know these three but left to right are Laura, Missy, & Sara, below are their children.\u00a0 Saturday was the big BBQ – with yours truly in charge of the cooking – it’s a tradition, when I visit, I cook.\u00a0 A great time was had by all except one – Evan, the youngest, was at his dad’s house this weekend.\u00a0 So I have included a couple pictures from his soccer game.<\/p>\n
And since the day before the BBQ was my 57th birthday – I got a cookie cake.<\/p>\n Laura decided that she and I should go play a round of black light miniature golf.\u00a0 If that’s not enough, they have 3D glasses for you to wear in there.\u00a0 Our rule was that you had to put the 3D glasses on when you were putting.\u00a0 Whew – that wasn’t easy.\u00a0 I’m sure if you were a little stoned this would be a main attraction.\u00a0 it was fun – once. There are LOTS of things to do in and around Atlanta, and I thought I’d be taking little day rides to some of these attractions and broadening both of our horizons.\u00a0 However, I have been enjoying spending time with my extended family here so much that I never really did go on a bike ride.\u00a0 Of course I did take the kids on their annual mini-ride through the neighborhood.\u00a0 Soon enough they will have a helmet and clearance from mom to go for a much longer bike ride.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What a GREAT time.\u00a0 I was looking forward to my next visit before I even left.\u00a0 Thanks for everything girls I miss you already!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having new tires on a motorcycle is like switching from a pair of flip flops that are two sizes too big to a brand new pair of perfect fitting running shoes.\u00a0 Cornering is smooth as silk and the ride is … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Another tradition is that I take care of little handy-man type projects that have been on the to-do list but just haven’t gotten done (I have to earn my keep).\u00a0 Sara had a small list including a new faucet for her kitchen and putting a doggie door into the garage passage door so the cat’s food and litter box could be out of the house.\u00a0 And fixing the shower in the spare bathroom.\u00a0 All of that stuff got done along with a few other odds and ends.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
