Tiger Rag

Here it is, our newest bike--newest to us, just picked up today, is a very nice 1969 Triumph Tiger TR6R. Himself loved the 1967 he had in high school, and he says this one has improvements over that one. It needs original handlebars and a coil. It's too exciting not to talk about.

We are celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. Himself says he is exercising his heart. I asked how, and he said "Deep relaxation." Heidi (the miniature long hair dachshund) is helping him, by sitting on his chest and looking cute and alert.

Later...Himself is so keen and eager I don't think he wants to go away for our anticipated night at the coast, because the bike is not there. (He is checking it out thoroughly before driving it, so no bad things happen, like acid dripping onto the tailpipes.) I can hear it running now. Vroom vroom vroom.

Love is in the Air

Isn't this a nice photo? Himself has been tidying up. It is nearly Valentine's Day. I like Valentine's Day. I mean to get some little envelopes going to tuck tiny Valentines into. The trick is figuring out what to do first. Make a template? I think that's what I'll do first. Maybe talking about it is what to do first. I'd like to send a pile of them in a big envelope to the goat brother's family. His household is very large right now, with daughter and family living at home while their house is being built. Brother has a dog, brother's wife has a cat, son-in-law has 2 or 3 dogs, daughter has 2 or 3 cats, and they have 3 young children. My heavens! Chaos reigns. They need Valentines. Himself needs a valentine, too. OK. Time to get started.

I am not supposed to do anything but tidy up for incoming guests, but I can't not make these valentines. Have a cute little valentine stuffed toy dog for MIL, which real dog and I must take to her today, since we didn't get there yesterday. Bye. Valentines first.

Gosh! Friend across country is having 60th birthday THIS FRIDAY! Valentines first, though.
