Well, we finally got home about 8 or so – we left out this morning heading to Dothan around 6:30 heading for Colors for the Cross. It was a nice ride over, with about ten bikes or so. We stopped at a neat place called Mom’s Kitchen in Hartford for breakfast – really good food, and they make a point of welcoming bikers. I had biscuits and sawmill gravy with a side of home-style bacon – delicious! Lil Red had a Belgian waffle (her first and she wasn’t really sure what to expect), which looked very good.
The Colors for the Cross was good, but not as many vendors as last year, from what others said. Lil Red got a neat watch which was made to look like a bike on a bike chain. Hubby got some new vest extenders that match his key.
We saw some absolutely gorgeous bikes today, between the bike show at CFC and the three bike stores we visited. Our first stop was American Classic Cycles, then to the Honda/Yamaha shop, then to the Harley place to pick up a friend’s bike. I’ll have to post more next week.
Here are some snapshots and a short write-up for the day.

On a football note- we lost to Brantley- again. This was #7 in a row. I think our guys could have beat them, but they weren’t sure in their minds they could. Our guys seemed to be in much better condition, just mentally they beat themselves. I’m sure there’s a sermon in there, and I’ll probably have more about it later.
For now, it’s off to bed to watch The Vicar of Dibley- one of my favorite britcoms…

I found an awesome devotional a few months ago that I’d like to share with you. It’s called ‘Oil Change’ and it’s written by Pastor Rob at Biker’s Church.
I’ve been in church most of my life, but this devotional teaches me in a way that most others do not- I rank Pastor Rob’s writings in the same category as Max Lucado. They both write in conversational tones that are easy to understand and always bring out good points that I might have otherwise not thought about.
For example, right now, we’re in the middle of a study on the book of Mark. We just read the story of when Jesus’ mother and brothers came to the house where he was and sent in a message that they were there. I’ve never understood why Jesus wouldn’t go out to them, but Rob had a thought- in earlier verses they were still not ‘getting behind’ Him (I’m paraphrasing); what if this was just another way of them saying, ‘stop this and come on home’? He also wondered why they didn’t come in to Him, but sent in a message instead. Were they still not supporting Him?
If you’re looking for a good devotional, give Oil Change a look…

It’s Friday- tonight is the big game – Tigers vs. Bulldogs. I’ve still got to get my red shirt ready (we’re going to ‘red out’ the Dog House tonight). Not sure if we’ll take the bikes to Brantley or not. Probably be easier to find places to park up close, but I’m also not sure that someone won’t mess with them. (I don’t worry so much about the car, which really doesn’t make sense). We’ll probably end up taking the car, anyway. much less a chance of getting run over by someone not paying attention in all the traffic.
We’ve got the boiled peanuts ready – the World’s Largest Peanut Boil is this weekend, so we got some yesterday. Lots of things still to do to get ready, and I’ve still got some work to do on Dimple’s website.
Once again – Go Tigers!!!!
