Today Gene rode in the Trooper Blanton Memorial Ride..do not have a head count yet..but motorcycles went past us for 30 minutes this morning as they left Black Mountain...sad but so uplifting as we were told that all the money donated from ride donations and shirt sales would go directly to the family...Ann drove us to Black Mountain and then on to Maggie..we were able to be on 40 when the bikers turned into the Maggie exit...wonderful Karma for sure...and then to be able to park and watch them all go by on their way to the Eagles Nest in Maggie...I am so proud of this community...no one should have to give their life to protect the us citizens...The Thin Blue Line.
We took some pictures that we will post to this blog. Talked to Tim as the bikers were going by...he was on his way to Savannah to a conference...please keep our cop safe as well as all peace officers.
Heard from the girls. They are swimming, beaching, and having a wonderful time. Andy and Jan came over to Aunt Jan Camp today...we are counting the days until the Keys.
