Motorcycle ride at 91

When she turned 90 she wanted to ride her horse and she accomplished that.  For her 91rst she decided she wanted LeRoy to take her on a motorcycle ride.

Getting on was the hardest part of the ride. She had knee replacement on one knee but the other one does not want to bend to get on very well but braced by grandkids to make sure she did not fall she got on.

There she is all smiles and  a little nervous.

Once she wiggled around and got comfy nothing left but big smiles.

And off they go.....


Stopped for lunch at the Black Bear and some older people came out of the cafe and said "oh no they aren't really going to let her ride that are they?"  I told them yes, she rode it down here. They were amazed. One lady said "I could not even get on". I said "pretty good for 91 isn't she". She said "91, you have to be kidding me, I am only 71 and I could not get on nor would I have the nerve to get on there."  They all stood and watched her pull out of the parking lot.

And they are off again.



I waited for them to come back through town headed home. She was amazed at how big the trucks seems and yet how secure she felt.  She said it was so smooth and not even jerky when he pulled out that she could have rode all day long.

No matter how old you are keep your spirit of adventure young.Rejoice in every day the Lord gives us.  Be thankful for friends that take the time to make your dreams come true.
