Me & My New Ride


Here's my bike. I'll have to figure out how to upload the idle.
THIS is one growling beast of a hog.
So is the bike. :)

I think that last comment sounded off a bit. Your new love meaning your motorcycle! Oh brother.

Rumble, rumble, rumble! I am so happy for you! Now get that license and join me on the tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap this summer! (See my post on http://jesuslovesbikerchickstoo.blogspot.com)!!!
You look AWESOME! Very sexy. :-) No wonder your husband bought it for you!

Hi Camille!

Thank you very much for waving at me from Oregon and your kind words of welcome. I am visiting my brother who has immigrated to Canada 11 years ago. The weather is great and not nearly as cold as I was expecting.

Last Friday we went to Vancouver Island where my brother and his family lived their first 4 years in Canada. From what I gather, we were quite close to Washington and Oregon.

I enjoy your comments on Randy's blog and particulary your cool sense of humour!

Regards.

Daan.

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. . . .

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:

I've published five novels and 2 novellas (more about those on my website.) I've been writing all my life, but decided in 2007 to get serious about being published.

I love action movies and Jane Austen. (she’s dead, I know. I found that out when I tried to get her to endorse my novel)

They let me play Bass guitar and sing in a worship band.

I can produce 4 dozen homemade cinnamon rolls in a flash for a crowd of drooling young adults. Or publishing house editors.

I used to have a Harley. Now we have seven grandkiddos. Decent trade, really.

I am a proud Grammy. Don't even think about taking candy from my babies.

I hate shopping (Yes, I'm aware that I'm a girl)

MY ROOTS:
I've lived in Oregon all my life, spent time in Eugene (Go DUCKS!), Springfield, Reedsport, and Smith River. Which is not really a town, but a river, about 70 miles long, a tributary of the Umpqua River in southwest Oregon.

Although it's not a town, it is a community with a strong sense of pioneer history. It's cool to say you've lived there, especially if you lived there during the days when you had to take a boat to school. No joke! The old farmhouse my grandfather and my mother grew up in still stands, nestled into a narrow, pasture carpeted valley, complete with a swimmin' hole and its own 'crick'. It may turn up in one of my novels.

There's a rumor that my ancestors had a connection with the Mafia back in Sicily. I used to fantasize as a kid about a big black limo with tinted windows pulling up and whisking me away from school. Ahhh. So THAT'S why I'm having so much trouble conjugating my dangling participles now.

NOT RANDOM: I am challenged by the truth and amazed by the grace of God. And it's either in spite of or because of that grace that I hold a PhD in Learning Stuff the Hard Way.
