sweet words

I cannot tell you how much this meant to me. Bloggers don’t get paid except in compliments & this one almost brought me to tears.

Barber’s Motorcycle Museum, Leeds, Alabama

Barber’s Motorcycle Museum is in Leeds, Alabama. It is the largest motorcycle museum in the world.  Cool? Yes.  That means it is 20 minutes away from us.  I’ve been twice. Do I ride motorcycles? No.  My father had a motorcycle when I was a kid & I would ride on the back, holding onto him…
