Playing Catch-ups! – Part 2

In my continuing effort to catch you up on our hectic lives …

We have finally been back on the motorcycle! This took a little more effort than usual as we had to get her out of winter storage first, then we took her to the beach.

Those spots you see in the background of that shot is the air full of kite surfers. Would you like to know more?

Luxembourg – Part 1

As we looked over our maps and tried to decide where to go one weekend, I mentioned that I wanted to go to Geneva and catch up with a friend. But we didn’t really have the time in one weekend to drive that far and make it a worthwhile trip.

With a stroke of inspiration I messaged her, and asked if her and her husband were busy on the weekend, and if they’d be willing to meet us half way! To make a long story short (too late), they did! So we’ve been to Luxembourg! Would you like to know more?

Brussels, Belgium – Part 1

Before we leave the Netherlands though, I’d like to draw your attention to not only how flat the Netherlands is, but how there is enough water that they don’t bother with fencing in the fields. They just dig more canals.

So much to tell!

I have a few loyal fans who’ve been wondering where we got to, and what has happened to the running commentary on our lives. I’m here to tell you that we’re alive, ok, and have just been incredibly busy! For a brief review which I may go into more detail with later, we’ve been …

Patting chickens.
