I decided to scrap our Honda Goldwing bike rides this year using 8.5" x 11" format. Persnickety had their 50% off sale a month or so ago, so I pre-paid for 50 pages of the 8.5" x 11", 50 pages of the 8"x8", and 50 pages of the 12"x12". I will wait until I can get all of the 150 pages printed at the same time, that way I will save money on the shipping costs.
Here are the pages I have done from our trips so far this year. I decided I wanted them to be the same style, so I am using.....at this point.....all products by Anna Aspnes. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet tea, sit back and relax and enjoy the trips! ;)
Let’s Go Experience
Journaling reads: The weather was warm enough for a bike ride. Our first outing of the year. The low for the day was 54 and the high was 81 at noon and it was still 79 at 6 p.m. We drove 34.5 miles in just over an hour. We traveled the back roads away from all of the traffic. Mark grew up in this area so he knows all of the back roads and where they lead. It was great to be on the bike again! Tuesday, late afternoon, 4/4/23
I blended one of my photos into the background and enlarged it to fill the background.

Build Memories
Journaling reads: We rode to a restaurant in Welcome for supper, Jimmy’s Steakhouse. From there we took the scenic route home. We traveled a total of 39.4 miles. We rode for about an hour total. I enjoy taking pictures of old buildings. 5/7/23

Enjoying the Journey
Journaling reads: I love taking pictures of cattle grazing or lying in the meadow. I always think of the verses Psalm 50:10-11, “For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Mine.” 5/17/23
I changed the word art “on this journey” to “journey” and combined it with “enjoying” and “the”.

Look and See
Journaling reads: I love to photograph the clouds. I especially love to see the sun behind them and the “silver” lining that seems to glow around the clouds. The Bible tells us that Jesus will come back in the clouds. Maybe subconsciously that is who I’m looking for! 5/17/23
I changed the beaded thread element by moving the beads around and changing the word from lust to lost.

We Love to Ride
Journaling reads: Mark worked hard outside today and decided he wanted a steak for supper, so we rode to Dodge City in Clemmons. After we ate we rode until it was dark by the time we got home around 9:30. Great ride! 6/2/23
I used threads and beads from the 3 different sets of BeadedThreadz to create the beaded threads shown in my page. One of my photos is enlarged and blended into the background.

And Then it Hailed!
Left Side
Journaling reads: I was in the mood for ice cream. I asked Mark if he wanted to take a bike ride to DQ. The weather was great! While we were at DQ, Mark sent a text to Jenifer to see if she was home. Three baby goats had been born earlier in the day so we rode over to see them. They were so cute! When we got there it began to thunder in the distance. The babies were in the horse pasture and needed to be taken to the goat pen before it started to rain. We helped Jenifer carry them to the pen and we hit the road quickly, hopefully to beat the rain!
I clipped photos of clouds to FotoBlendz Overlays for the sky. The same elements have been used for both pages, just flipped horizontally.

Unfortunately we didn’t make it home before the bottom dropped out and it began to.....not just rain.....pour buckets full of rain! And before we got home we were pelted on our bare arms with hail! OUCH! What happened to all of the sunshine just an hour ago?! 6/3/23

Let’s Ride!
Left side:
Journaling reads: Mark and I rode a total of 72.2 miles with Bobby and Joy today. Plus it is 10 miles from our house to their house. We left our house around 4:08. We left their house around 4:36 and arrived at the Lakeview Family Restaurant on High Rock Lake in Salisbury around 5:45. The drive was beautiful! The fellowship around the picnic table on the porch overlooking the lake was wonderful! We left the restaurant just after 7 and Mark and I arrived home at 8:14. We always have a lovely time with our wonderful riding friends!

Bobby and Joy have a beautiful new-to-them trike! Mark let Bobby lead the way to the restaurant.

Our journey from beginning to end.
The drive was beautiful and even on the drive home it was warm. It was a great day for a ride!
As we crossed the lake I noticed there were people swimming in the lake! It was warm, true, but I would bet the water was not that warm! Not warm enough for me, anyway!
The restaurant was packed but there was room for us to eat out- side on the porch with a view of the lake! Very nice and enjoyable!
