We went out looking for a newer motorcycle for Toby and this is what we came home with. It only had 6 miles on it when we left the lot. We need to get a back rest for me but other than that she is ready for a nice long ride.

Driving to Illinois
Toby and I made the 10 hr drive to my parents last weekend. Even though we were going back for my great aunt's funeral it was a very enjoyable trip. We both miss Illinois; the flat corn land, the mighty Mississippi and great summer storms. All of which we got to see in our short stay. We got together with family that we hadn't seen in awhile. I had a trip down memory lane when I visited my aunt's house before we left. They will be selling it so we went to see if there was anything we wanted. In the basement is a bed and dresser. I opened up the dresser drawer and it was like revisiting the past. There was a joker card in the drawer. Instantly I remembered it was from about 8 or 9 years ago when Brandy (a cousin) was visiting and her and I and a few others were playing cards on the floor next to the bed. It's funny the things you remember. I also looked at the corner for the very last time where I slapped my little cousin. We were very young and playing hide and go seek. I was hiding in a corner at the bottom of the steps. He ran down and scared me and I slapped him. It's a great story to tell now. I also had to sit down at the organ (hopefully not for the last time). She always had one in the corner of the living room and I would sit and play-not very good either. It was sad to be leaving her house knowing that this was the last time I would ever be there. It was the only house I ever knew for my aunt and uncle and always will be.

video collage of Waylon and Jesse
I put together a video collage of the boys. I apologize, it is a tear jerker but it is a wonderful memorial to our sons.
