It was so great to see some of the women I met this Summer on the Women's Freedom Ride.  We chose our charity for next Summer's ride, sponsoring a Golden Retriever service dog for a female veteran.  Our goal is to cover the cost involved including training the dog and the veteran who will get the dog.  Ron came up on Friday after getting Dixie squared away. She is going to be fine, on antibiotics and appears to be healing well.  Thanks for everyone who was concerned about her.

This duffle bag isn't water resistant, so all my clothes are vacuum packed (love my food saver machine). We might run into rain on Thursday, but the rest of the weekend the forecast is for warm, sunny days. This bag goes on the luggage rack, inside the trunk the important stuff, my iPad, my journals, spare boots, maps, my knitting.   WFR = Women's Freedom Ride.

After hurricane Matthew the mosquitos have been brutal, I have bites on my ankles, legs, neck and places they could only have gotten while I was sleeping. They are eating Ron alive too,  I'd have thought with the Zika virus the county would have been spraying for them.  Wish I had a bat box, bats eat mosquitos, I need about a dozen bats just for my yard.

We did the Scooters for Hooters ride today, turn out was great this year.  Weather was gorgeous today, a little cool but very pleasant.  We met up with the other Submariners on the ride and had fun getting lost LOL.  We had to stop a little early so that I could get me motorcycle into the Harley Shop before they closed.  It's due for it's 15,000 mile check up and I wanted to be sure to get it done before our trip to the mountains this coming week.

Took a little ride to Mount Pleasant to meet Ron's fellow Submarine Vets for lunch, lots of fun, great guys swapping sea stories.
This evening opening night Hockey, Greenville Swamp Rabbits won in Overtime, but a good game.  We have a good group of players back from last year in addition to some new talent and a new coach.  Our coach moved up to the next higher league, and we found out last night that our coach from a few years ago is now coaching in the NHL,  Jared Bednar is coaching the Colorado Avalanche now,  we're so proud when one of our guys makes it to the bigs.

Colors, thinking about colors and doing a color wheel, instead I drew my current palette colors.  Thinking I may reduce the size of the cobalt teal to a half pan and and sap green... need to think about it though, as I prefer the full pans.

My MOO mini cards,  you can have your own artwork or photos turned into mini business cards, regular business cards, square cards.  Someone at the Marc Taro Holmes workshop in Savannah gave me his square card with some of his artwork on it,  so I had to give it a try too.  I only did 8 designs, but you could load 100 different ones and each card would be unique.  Check them out at https://www.moo.com

We rode down highway 17 to 'point south' and had lunch at the Wendy's off I-95 there. Perfect weather today, not too hot, not too cold, JUST RIGHT.  I think I read somewhere this week that Winnie the Pooh was 90 years old... imagine that.
