He Still Would Have Loved Tent City....Part 2.

It's that time of year again....2nd week in June.  Oklahoma Freewheel  Cross State Bicycle Tour is well underway without me.  I've never had a year like this...when I really wanted to go...but just couldn't.  Maybe next year.   I miss my Dad in June...and not just because of Father's Day this coming Sunday......Freewheel week is always bittersweet with memories of him..how he got us started...how much he loved camp and how he inspired my sister and I to believe we could do anything-whether it was on a bike or regarding life in general.   Love You Dad!    Photo: Gary Dean Peters (middle) and the Preacher's Boys. (Looks like a late season training ride, huh?)

Another Round of Limoncello di Avila?

My second batch of Limoncello is ready to go....I spent time Sunday getting the labels printed and assembled and also double filtering the liqueur.  Tonight was spent sterilizing bottles, filling, capping, and decorating with the usual ribbons and beaded caps.  I love the sound the caps make on the glass bottle.  It's like having a cocktail without even opening the bottle.  I have a few special folks on the list to recieve this batch...  Hope they enjoy!

Hermosa Chicks

Well we made it safely to and from Hermosa Beach, CA and the Peters household.  Grandpa and Grandma were well. Met some real nice folks, too! 

Cold and occasional rain....yes..we were in Southern California...checking the long range forecast next time I get a bug to book a trip!

We of course were able to find the absurd along our journey as documented photographically here. 

Hitchhiker

My sister is on her way to my house...we are taking a spring break trip to California to visit Grandfather.  I'm supposed to be cleaning my house and packing my bag..  But instead I have made a hell of a mess putting together this gift for her birthday...yeah...it was 2 weeks ago (that's right...same day as mine...four years apart)....but hey...things like this take time!  I don't even care if she sees this mess of a house....I think she is gonna love it!  I have it sitting on the deck waiting for her to arrive....with it's "Mt. Ida" hitchhiker sign clearly indicating he is needing a ride back to her house later this week when we return!
