And the winner is.....

Oh wait....let me tell my story about yesterday....




So we start out...little later than we probably should have...but whatever...it's Saturday, the sun is shinning...we are on our motorcycles....




We hop on to I79 and then I80.  Hubby and I can talk between our helmets and we are discussing a quilt shop that appeared to be pretty close to I80.  We pull over at a rest stop.... Three cans of diet Coke with splenda....we stopped at several rest stops through out the day....but I digress.


He checks the garmen and say's it's like 40 some miles away.  Our goal was to do the Harley Build a bike places .....quilt shops was the secondary bonus.  I made the executive decision not to go to that shop.  But something didn't seem right about it being that far away.  But Whatever...we pressed on. 


I have to interject....I was with 3 guys who didn't care if we went to a quilt shop.  Of course my hubby who is a great guy.  Our good friend Bruce who is married to a quilter....Sandy (she also knits and has appeared in my blog), and my son...who after 25 years evidently has learned not to pitch a fit.

Ok back to the story.  We are heading to Dubious.  We had seen a sign that said the dealership was off of exit 97.  Garmin takes us off before that and we end up on a road that none of us thinks it's going to get us there.  We turn around get back on the highway and go with exit 97.

Poof...we are at the dealership. 


We get our stamps, I buy two clearance T-shirts for my "Harley T-Shirt quilt Stash" and we go to this neat diner across the street for lunch.




None of us was putting two and two together about that (at this point I'll call it a Damn Garmin) garmin.  We got back on the road and off to Altoona (where there's the quilt shop I really want to get the row from).  So what's the garmin do...heads us back west.  I said to my husband....I think we are going the wrong way.  Which for me to figure that out....it's a miracle...LOL   We stop...dang thing was trying to take us back to the first quilt shop.  Ugh 

It has stopped/shorted out and turned it self back on and was now picking locations.  So we reprogrammed it just to go to the Harley in Altoona.  That way we get there...we put in the quilt shop...go there....perfect....plenty of time.




By now I'm sure you have figured out something went wrong....so not to bore you with more details....we never made it to Altoona....that dang garmin took us around in circles and by the time we were on our second loop going nowhere....we figured it all out....the dealership was closed for the day.....the quilt shop was open...but this chick is smart and with a 3 hour drive ahead of us to get home....I said "let's just go home". 

Yup..... 442.8 miles!!!!

With all that tho....we had a great time...it was a beautiful day for a ride and no one was angry...just disappointed we didn't get our Apple Harley Davidson stamp for our cards.  Me....I just figured....we need to get that stamp...so we will be back and I will get to the quilt shop!!


For my facebook followers....you already know what's next....

For those of you that aren't following my page (hopefully yet).....I had a give a way....you just had to leave me a comment on what you were up to yesterday and post a picture if you could.


There were over 20 comments!!   I decided that since it was about my day yesterday and both my hubby and son was with me.....I'd have them pull two names!!!   They wouldn't let  me take their picture pulling the winners....men....lol




First my son reached into the barrel and he drew:

Congrat's Sharron!!!  You get first pick on which mini charm you'd like!!




Next was hubby's turn.........

Congrat's Jean!!!!  You get to pick second.


Ok Ladies....here's how we will do this:




Sharron please email me your address and your pick from the picture below.
 

Jean, you need to email me your address and pick two choices.  If Sharron didn't pick your first choice that will be it, but if by chance she did, I will go with your second choice!!
