The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog, which was the perfect nudge for me to create a look back at the year that has just passed. My blog stats are nothing to write home about, but certainly more than I ever could have hoped or imagined when I started this blog in September of 2013.
Christmas
A Beary Merry Christmas
I can’t believe another Christmas has nearly arrived…what happened to 2014? It whizzed by in an instant!
October Anniversary Trip to VA – Day 1

A good omen the night before our trip
My hub and I had planned a Retirement Test Ride (RTR) for September of this year, but that didn’t work out due to changes we encountered with my mother, so we decided to wait until October, when Mom had gotten settled, and take a bike trip to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary.
Tis the season – a postscript
Earlier in December, I wrote Tis the season about having the opportunity to provide some hope and cheer at Christmas to a family who took the unimaginable step to leave their home for a better future just before the holidays. As part of No One Alone (NOA)’s charter to serve the victims of domestic violence in two local counties, the Adopt a Family program is one that has been a priority for me each Christmas for five years.
A trip back in Christmas card time…motorcycle style!
A few of our previous motorcycle Christmas cards, just for fun and flashbacks!
