How long will it last?

I love riding this switch back on Secret trail
we are all proud of our beautiful one speed coconinos- thanks Steve ........

What is Agnes doing with that Banana?


Deanne's new bike sure is pretty.....



Beautiful weather in flag. What a great extended fall. How lucky we are in Flagstaff to live in such an active community where we have many good friends to get out and ride with. Especially great to shred with other strong women......Thanks Agnes, Deanne and Annie for a great day in the woods........

last few weeks

Kayaking upstream from Lee's Ferry with Steve. One of my favorite things to do with him. Limited sun this time of year, due to the beautiful canyon walls. Just around the corner upstream is nine mile camp...
We did not have as much luck this time fishing. Still had fun trying.......here is a pic. of one we brought in...

Proud of the American people

Steve's look of happiness watching the election unfold last night celebrating with a tecate snuggling with is buddy Gus
Yes, Obama is the next President of the United States....My hope is restored in the American People.....I want to be apart of a country of Equality, moving forward for the good of the people, having better education and health care system....The use of alternative Resources for energy....Maybe now we can move in this direction.........Steve and I were soooooo happy last night watching the out come of the election.....Maybe now we can be part of a country we are proud of.....Unfortunately AZ stayed red but the out come is what matters. I believe Flagstaff is a Democratic free thinking Island in AZ. That is one of the things that really attracted me to live here........An open minded community, with healthy active people caring about our planet and being good people.......What a great speech by Obama......We both now have hope in our future......D
