.... so tired of pain ... hopefully this works if not back to square one ...

her with her fundraising for her student ambassador trip this summer to England France Beligum and the Netherlands ,,, Out were we live our neighbors are more than a half mile away from us..... So it was a nice little ride up the road. It is amazing how nice it is ride with my girl as we do her project and hopefully will be sending her off to Europe for a grand adventure before she is able to drive ..... We have applied for her passport and now we only have to raise the money for her to fly away...She will be meeting a member of the British Parliament while in England, She will also have be going to the beaches of Normandy, and while in the Netherlands she will visit Anne Franks house .... I am so proud of her for being selected for this program..

trails here in Oregon close with the rainy season... so i am regulated to gravel roads and gravel roads... until April when the ground starts to dry out and then i can get back onto single track ..... the hiss and crunch of the wet gravel was great...... to my surprise on the crest of the hill overlooking finely refuge my son pulled up next to me ... we had a nice decent and were surrounded by the honking of the geese that winter on the refuge ..... Minutes later we found a tiny hidden water fall that we never would have seen in a car,, seconds later we were treated to the sight of 20 or so ducks as they took off the water... As we rode on McFarland we spooked a blue heron up out of the marsh, and later we spooked a red tail hawk off a sign.... Then we saw the gray curtain that we were riding into..... ya we had been riding in a slight drizzle but the was going to change
