Coots, what's that?


. . . "i think he means OLD coots," said my husband, paul.

be that as it may, we invite you to join us as we celebrate our 40 year marriage by taking to the roads on our motorcycle.

the plan is to hit the four outer most points of the country: key west, fl; madawaska, me; blaine, wa; and san ysidro, ca, and anything interesting along the way.

just to clarify, we're riding the 2003 honda gold wing. no offense to all our harley friends, but when considering a 10,000-12,000 mile ride, well, we decided to leave the softtail at home this time. call it a comfort issue, on MY part.

i've not done a blog before and the entries will no doubt be sporatic as we don't have a laptop and will rely on computers as we find them along the way.

i know many will wonder why we would decide on such a trip NOW, with the price of gas, and food and everything rising. well, life is short and THAT is why.

if i can upload the first picture, you'll see us just before leaving bella vista. our good neighbors, bill and emily, took time to snap our picture and bill advised us to see all we can, and we intend to take his advice!

our anniversary is actually june 1. we are currently enjoying the weekend with my sister and brother-in-law, pam and jerry in metairie, la.


we will depart here, early monday morning and head to florida, stopping in ocala to visit my mother before heading to key west.

paul had sent out a message requesting no email until he returns home. i, on the otherhand welcome any and all PERSONAL ones, but i ask that you PLEASE HOLD the FORWARDS!!

till next time.
