Imagine my surprise when my darling stud of husband of nearly 25 years pulled me out of my writing cave last Sunday in my writing attire including bare feet, and escorted me out the front door. With a silly big grin.
He wanted to show me somethin. But I heard that deep throated V-Twin cruiser rumble and felt the ground pulsate before I rounded the corner of the garage and saw it.
That's right. A Harley. My husband thought I'd dreamed and whined about wanting one long enough. That or he just really loves me and knows this chick gets WAY more excited about an idle you can hear for miles, shiny chrome and black leather than some stuffy old jewelry.
We'll be celebrating our 25th this summer. On the road. If I can figure out a way to get him a matching one. Maybe I'll sell the NOVEL I'm cramming to finish and I can buy him one too.
Thanks, honey. You ROCK!!

SWEET!
I can't believe it! Too funny. Now are you going to drive that yourself? We've been bikers for 37 years, but I ride on the back. :D And we've graduated from the hogs to the Honda. You know the one...the rolling couch? :D
YEE HAW! Vrrrroooom!!! Pretty soon we'll be riding together! Congratulations, Camille! That husband of yours sounds like a keeper to me!
That is too fun. I assume you know how to ride?
(I tried once and crashed my friend's dirt bike into a tree.)
ALSO, you should know that Kerrville where I live is Harley Biker Heaven. Every weekend, the pour in for the day to ride up the Guadalupe. Fun stuff.
Yes, Ane, I plan to drive the thing. It's a sportster, so I don't see me and Dan riding together. Karla - he's a total keeper plus much more. And yes, Mark, I know how to ride - that is, I used to. I can easily see myself uprooting a tree with this: it's a hair beefier than a dirt bike. I haven't owned a bike or ridden a Harley since before I was married (o good grief - has it been 25yrs??) so I plan to take the weekend course for dummies and get my endorsement. And my nerve. It's a bit different when you're old and no longer invincible. And have projects to finish and people to love before you die.
GREAT look, Ms. Beast!!! (Tee Hee)
