Scrapbook

Our personal scrapbook of tidbits, odds & ends, motorcycle rides, trips, nature in our backyard, visitors, and fun stuff.

If it's not in this Scrapbook, I've probably written about it in the Eclectic BLOG!

Daytona Bike Week, 2006.

PLAYTIME: Daytona 2006
Folks went NUTS when I rode a 60's Honda Dream down Main Street in Daytona during Bike Week, 2006. "What is that?" "I had one of those!" "That is sooo cool!"

Thanks, Randy, for making my 1st Main Street run so memorable!

TEAMWORK
My husband and I love to play with motorcycles...we ride, we rebuild, we paint, and we love our "herd". If we're not riding or on a mini-adventure, we're prepping parts, painting, fabbing or ordering parts, or shopping  ebay, or gettin' greasy in the garage!

We spend our very few spare moments looking through airbrush, motorcycling, gardening, decorating, and biker magazines, dreaming up our next project, whether it's in the garage, yard, or house. We enjoy watching "Antiques Roadshow", and Adult Swim (ATHF, Metalocalypse, Venture Brothers, Family Guy) - as well as just about anything on the Travel or Discovery channels. 



OUR KEY WEST WEDDING, 04/27/06

John and I took a wonderful trip to Key West which encompassed our wedding, honeymoon, and vacation from work. What an interesting place to explore! I'd love to go to Bahia Honda to camp and to swim with dolphins someday.

MUSIC! 
Click here to hear me sing.

I was a professional musician (vocals, guitar, keyboards) for 20+ years; 20's/30's tunes to heavy, screamin' rock. I listen to anything when I'm painting: Led Zepp, Buddhist chants, White Zombie, Nora Jones, opera & classical, whales, nature, Jimmy Buffett, Pat Metheny, Kid Rock...it's ALL good!

TAMPA BIKE FEST, 2006

John and I had a great time looking at the custom rides, perusing the vendors, and even got to chat with Chica (he's a very nice man)!

I had a "pucker incident" on the ride home when my bike's brake rod snapped and the stabilizer bar let loose. I could have cried when I saw what the rod did to my rear fender paint...c'est la vie.

Don't forget to save my Eclectic BLOG in your favorites! I write about motorcycle rides, airbrushing, life, art, nature and anything else that tickles my fancy - it's educational, humorous, and interesting reading!
