These were days to visit family. No riding was involved.

The following photos are of my Sister's children who are, of course, my nephews and nieces, and great nephews and nieces. My sister has two sons living in South Carolina, the youngest is Kit, and his wife is Hope and their two sons are Miles and Coley. That's their pond; there home, their woods, their motorcycle, and even their rain (photos 1,2,3,4,5, 6). We had a wonderful visit with his family.

Her oldest son's name is Britt and he lives really close to his younger brother, which is a nice thing. I wish my sons were so lucky. He also has a wonderful family. His wife is Kandy, his daughter is Jennifer, and his son is Harrison, named after his great grandfather. We all had dinner at Britt's home and later all the boys went fishing in the pond. Unfortunately, all that was caught was a tree by Miles. We were able to sit around and talk a bit and I heard about how Kit killed a cottonmouth snake that had bit the dog but the dog didn't die. I saw how Britt sealed hay in plastic so it keeps its nutrients for winter-feeding of his cattle. We ate spaghetti, I looked at my great-nephew's coin collection, and we had a really wonderful time. Sometimes the simple pleasures really are the best (photos 7,8,9,10,11).

The next day we visited with more friends and later we went out for dinner (photo 12). No motorcycling riding involved for the last two days but riding to visit those you care about makes the riding that much more enjoyable. Tomorrow we head for Florida to see my brother.
