Home again!
February 17th, 2008 06:16 pmIt feels so nice to be home again after 4 days of little 4-hour road trips.
I had a nasty coughing fit on the drive up & thought I was going to lose body parts. A small bag of sugar-free cough drops at the rest area? $4.00! You know I was desperate to pay that! LOL We were very luck & caught almost no traffic on the drive north.
We had a wonderful (albeit too short) visit with Art & Kathleen. Art has lost 30 pounds since his surgery & is looking good. He still must take things slowly though & the doctors are having a tough time regulating his blood sugar. Kathleen's working hard to feed him all the right stuff, something she's not had to really worry about before.
Shortly after arriving, we piled into the Endeavor & drove to a Honda motorcycle dealership in Cherry Hill. The ex had found the dealer online offering good deals & when he discovered just how close we were going to be, we -of course- had to go. He's really been looking hard for a bike. The dealership was a decent sized place, but the staff was not very impressive. After figuring out their best deal, The ex called our dealer at home (MFI) to see what they could do since we would really rather do business with them. Between Art, Kathleen & I, we convinced the ex to wait on making a deal & to give MFI a chance.
I sat on a few bikes but nothing really called out to me. There was one nice Suzuki cruiser, but the style that I was attracted to only comes in the 800; the entire bike changes as the engine size goes up. After riding an 1800, I doubt that an 800 will make the grade! Well, the new Kawasaki Concours caught my eye, but my body shape & its body shape are not compatible; it's made for skinny men.
Kathleen cooked a ham that friends had given them from a freshly killed hog - it was absolutely fabulous.
I wish they lived closer so that we could see them more often. Hopefully they will be able to make it down for Memorial Day weekend in the RV.
